Hello!
Any help would be much appreciated as i am beginning to think that I am going mad.
I have suffered with attacks of 'Vertigo' (which my Doctors have thought it is along with Labrinthitis, panic attacks etc etc).
I seem to have these attacks of when I dont feel 'myself' like im living in a bubble...I dont know how to cope with it and the Doctor/Hospital have obviously mis-diagnosed it around 8-9 times now, its so frustrating.
Basically my symptoms include:
Disorientation
Lack of concentration - at work, at home and I struggle to talk sometimes
Feeling tired and constantly yawning
Feeling almost drunk when im completely sober
Dizzy - like someone has spun me around 100 times and told me to walk in a straight line!
Outer body experience - almost as if im not really here?
Ringing in my ears
I struggle to be 'normal' if that makes sense?
Also seems to worsen as i type this and then look at the screen...
I have these symptoms for around a week and then they seem to pass...is a week too long for a migraine? Bascially it started on the 1st Jan and now its the 6th so you can see how long the episodes last for.
Its so frustrating as i feel like im almost making it up as nothing seems to help, ive tried so many tablets/injections etc and nothing has seemed to stop the symptoms, I just basically have to put up with until it passes (which varies) Im starting to worry that it may be something serious.
The Hospital has told me to cut out certain foods which hasnt worked and there doesnt seem to be a particular trigger. I often find that the symptoms worsen after I eat...does this relate to anyone else? I have IBS but ive been told this is not related.
As I said before I have been to the Doctors around 8-9 times and it seems as if theyre not interested in considering that it may be something more serious.
Does anyone relate to my symptoms and have any recommendations on medication etc?
I feel fine in myself im just getting fed up with this 'swimming' feeling in my head.
Thank you for your time
