Alright so here’s a long one. It all started in July of 2015 when one day I went swimming and got water in my ear. A few hours went by and water was still in my ear so I went to the doctor and a nurse flushed it out, but after that my ear felt very strange. A few days went by and it still felt like I had fullness in my ears so I went back to the doctor and he said everything looked fine but gave me eardrops anyway. I recall feeling a bit light headed a few times since all of that happened. A little less than a month goes by and I accidentally slipped and hit the left side of my head in the shower. It felt a bit sore after and kind of a tight feeling. I felt light headed after this and it wasn’t going away so I went to the doctors two days later and got a CT scan and it came out fine. I figured the lightheaded feeling would go away in a few days but it never did. It has been a year now and since then I have gone to the doctors about 10 times. Numerous doctors have told me that there is nothing wrong with me. I even went to an ear nose and throat doctor and he didn’t see anything wrong either. It has been a year now and I am STILL light headed to this day. I recently just went to see another neurologist and talked to him for two hours and he assured me that there was nothing wrong and it was all in my head. I got another CT scan and have another appointment with him in a few days but I’m pretty sure if he saw something dangerous on the scan I would have gotten a call by now instead of waiting for my appointment (plus my last CT scan came out fine). Ever since this happened to me I have lived in a constant state of worry and anxiety. I keep thinking I have a brain aneurism or something terrible. It has been a year now since I have been light headed and it has caused crippling anxiety. I no longer see my friends and most nights I lay in bed wondering why this was happening to me and why no one could figure it out. I just want it to go away. I am not sure if my anxiety has anything to do with it because I know light-headedness can be a symptom of anxiety but the reason I have anxiety is because of the light-headedness. I don’t know what to do anymore. I try and look up other stories similar to mine but most people just woke up one day and felt light headed but this happened to me after the incident with my ear and my head yet every doctor I see says nothings wrong. I have also gotten blood tests that come up normal. I don’t know if this is a problem with my ear or head or both or neither or if its just flat out anxiety.
