Hospital tests tomorrow

[mirry]

Hi Guys , I am getting really nervous about my hospital appointment tomorrow, I think I am afraid of what they are gonna find.
I have had severe vertigo and dizziness for 5 years and my gp told me it was my anxiety but the hospital told me I have a inner ear disorder, and it turned out one of my symptoms is a concern so they need to check that I havent got a tumour on my auditory nerve. All this time I have been calm about it cos its unlikely BUT now I am feeling scared, really scared.
thanks for listening xxx

Can't really comment much but I just wanted to wish you luck for tomorrow hope everything goes ok. Cross fingers it's nothing serious. I know it's hard to keep positive but once it's been looked at hopefully you will feel better.

thanks janieb, as usual I am concentrating on the negatives :lac: ,
the test takes 3 hours and I am worried about feeling trapped.
take care

Hi Mirry, I know what you're going through. I have been dizzy for years and have had tests, try not to worry turns out I have Meniere's which is an inner ear problem. When it is bad I take Stemetil which controls the dizziness. I know that's not much help to you at the mo, but I'm sure it will be ok. Let us know how you get on.
Lots of love
Elly

hiya Mirry,

It's totally normal for you to be worrying about this, well done for staying calm untill now, try to remain calm by trying not to think about the outcome too much, remember thinking about it wont change the outcome.
Good luck, let us know how you get on xxx

thanks so much everyone, silly me I have been googling it :weep: ,
I have so many of the symptoms of it that I am terrified.
The hospital have been asking me to phone them with any new symptoms and I thought they were just being nice,I told them that I have been woken from my sleep with a migraine (really really bad one ),didnt think anything of it untilI read that is a sign,,,,,,then I read acoustic neoroma is a brain tumour(well that just made my heart skip a beat).......Im sure its something simple but my mind is suddenly going over time.

Elly I am sorry to read you have meniers ,thats not nice for you ,what symptoms do you get with that?:hugs:.

Hi Mirry,

I know exactly what you are going through. I have had dizziness/vertigo now for 7 years. January this year I was finally sent for an MRI to check the nerves and also for the tumour that you are talking about. I was so scared.

My results came back all clear. I also had vestibular testing done on my ears etc and they were all clear.

Two neurologists have said that I suffer from vestibular migraines because I get headaches either before the dizzy, during or after. I am on medication to that is really helping.

Hi again every one, well I did it yesturday, I had 4 hours of tests,
the ladys who tested me told me that I am
low functioning in my balance organs in BOTH ears !!!
They didnt mention a tumour and I didnt ask :blush: ,I have to wait now to see my consultant which they said will be soon.

I was totally shocked (still am) they told me that basically my balance organs are not working and I am relying on sight for my balance, and because my sight is doing both jobs I am getting the off balance and dizziness.

They said its like being blind because I have lost the function of my balance organs which do an important job.
I asked why they dont work and they said ,maybe I was born with it
(which i dont agree cos i only felt off balance the past 5 years) or a virus or medication done it.

Then the shocking thing was that the worst tablet I could take is valium because it actually lowers the function of the balance organs:ohmy: .

still shocked, just trying to get my head around it but it just shows that medical problems can cause these symptoms.

Oh Mirry,
I am sorry I missed wishing you good luck, but Wow!
Poor you. So what are they going to do next?

[Dying_Swan]

Wow.

Yea that's big stuff. Although it must be really hard to take it all in, it must be a slight relief, knowing what it is. Hopefully they will be able to give you some help now.

Have you been doing the balance exercises? Any use?

Good luck with seeing the consultant xxxx

[mirry]

the vrt excersizes havent helped me yet and they made my eyes hurt,
they said they will give me some others to try.

I dont know what will happen next but she mentioned going to balance therapy at the hospital.Apparently medications or a virus have probally damaged my balance organs which is a shock.

And allthe doctors told me it was anxiety making me dizzy ,lol they need kicking:mad: .
