I was hoping, as lovely as you all are, that I'd never be back here. Yet here I am! A few familiar names still posting.
Anyway. Its been many years since I was last in the throws of a HA attack. I've been really lucky to have had years of being ok. At the minute I'm in the midst of a brain tumor scare - how predictable! However to me its very real and very frightening. About a year ago I started feeling a bit light headed, like slightly drunk light headed, then shortly after I noticed my balance was off, northing major id just have to over compensate when turning or id lightly bump into the wall whilst walking next to it. We went into lockdown and I didnt want to bother the GP as we were in the midst of a global pandemic. Fast forward to last month - I wake up one morning with intense vertigo, something I've never had before. Over the course of the next few days I get an achy neck and headache. Headache comes and goes, neck ache stays. Then 2 weeks ago I get intense headache and dizziness. I start noticing all mu visual issues, sore eye socket, blurred visions, dizziness when moving eyes etc. After a week of Headache I finally go to the dr. She thinks I've pulled the muscle that goes up around my scalp. We talk about the vertigo but for some reason I dont mention the dizziness or balance issues, I guess I got caught up in the moment. She does some checks and notices I have nystagmus. She thinks I have an inner ear problem, sends me away with anti inflammatory and antihistamine for vertigo and tells me to see an optician. Today I got a clean eye health check up.
Since my dr appointment I've had a whole host of other symptoms that have shown up. I now think I have a brain tumor that has been growing for some time. In my mind it all adds up to a tumor and I need to go back and see someone.
Has anyone else had balance and dizziness thats last for over a year and suddenly got worse? I also get tinnitus and severe brain fog and forgetfulness..I can't even remember what I did yesterday and I have to think for a good few minutes before it comes to me.
I keep thinking the worst 😓
