Light headed, headache, spacey feeling. Tons of tests done, no result.

[COLOR=GREEN]Doctors won't tell you what to do next, think the key may be to ask! I was once in such poor health my doc thought I was suffering 'stress' , so I studied stress as much as i could to decide maybe, it would only be 'physical stress' . I had the holter meter on for 24hour heart check, blood samples, urine samples, 24 hour urine collection. What it was in my books from an ultrasound of transverse abdominal muscle showing up very weak, TA most important function in respiratory physiology medical text book is expiration of the lungs, weak muscle, think lead to rebreathing CO2, symptoms similar to hypoxia. Fixed in five days with some simple belly button sucking sit ups. Not with help of doctors there. My mistake with doctor was not to ask or demand what next I just gave up on him and the next few doctors etc.

No answer is no good, keep digging is what I am telling self I have to do with this.

I went through over four hours of balance testing in a major hospital with one of the best, to see him at the end ever so briefly that there was nothing wrong with my balance systems. Tests included water running in and out of ears, warm and cold ? in totally black cabinet watching lights like small LEDS on off and where they are, sound testing (you heard that frequency the old technician asked and played it again - I did - super hearing ? ) The neuro nurse said it may have something to do with the fact I get aura style migraine, maybe a small tumour ..... no further reference, don't think I even went back to refering GP back in my hometown..

Once knew early 40's woman complaining to my doc of headaches starting in life, she got the go home and take something for it, back again explaining headaches not normal - same result. Third time armed with a better approach same doctor demanded tests found pigeon egg size brain tumour, operated, alleged recovery then passed away.

 

I may have been mistaken thinking a health focus forum may have had some suggestion or intervention other than eail or web addresses deleted according to the rules,maybe a doctor take up the symptoms and break each on up, presenting a case that the many odd symptoms experienced are just normal for the body and mind to react in such a way for many different illnesses, diseases or conditions and that we each cannot believe or think that we all have the same one condition - just share symptoms perhaps ?

Is diet a factor ? I hardly eat greens or veggies, but should, and when i try makes no difference. So hard to eat enough of everything to consume what we are told we should, without over eating ![/GREEN]

No one has mentioned Lyme disease, which can cause all these symptoms too (especially neuroLyme).  Don't get the Elisa test--it's notoriously inaccurate, though most doctors won't admit that yet.  Find a Lyme-literate doctor!  People with Lyme have been misdiagnosed with everything from alzheimers to bipolar to ALS!!!!

Lots of people in this topic have mentioned Lyme disease.

Hi,

 

Any further updates since you posted this. Really interested as I also have the same symptoms.

don't click on "this" in blue above - links to what you might find unrelated to topic advertising sadly

You guys are not crazy I've had all these symtoms and the (brain fog) what you are doing is clenching the back muscles of your jaw and is causes tmj and arthritis in your jaw. I'm only 19 too. this is what you need to do you have a few options take a cap to a pop and put it in your mouth and bite down on it slightly having somethig in your mouth will make all your problems go away or lightly bite on your tongue the ear pressure will go away, the headaches and migraines and you will be able to think clear

Has anyone associated these symptoms with ADD? I've had all the symptoms mentioned, checked Lyme, thyroid, and dozens of other tests. Taking Welbutrin and anti anxiety like buspirone...still have all the spacey - forgetfulness - lack of energy and drive. Was about to try ADD meds to see if that may help, but doesn't seem like many on here have?

 

If you had mentioned any jaw, neck pain and/or popping clicking in the jaw, I would suggest TMJ. I have been through the ringer like you and I am getting ready to see a neuromuscular dentist soon (who specializes in TMJ) to see what can be done. I have already been diagnosed with TMJ as a teenager, now I am 40 and it is debilitating as I miss so much work from fatigue and headache, etc. Just a thought...

I feel ALL of this! I've had PVC for a year(premature ventricular contractions) which are benign heart palpitations. I thought it had to do with me feeling this way which was once in a while but I'm beginning to doubt it. Just recently this past few weeks I've been feeling this EVERY DAY. I don't know why. I'm going to see a Dr. and get blood work done even though I have no insurance and this sucks cuz I already spent $500 on a cardiologist. I've had a STUFFY nose for a few months so maybe that's why?

 

I reallly hope they find something they can help me with. I'm so sick of every day with me feeling too weird/tired/sick to move, interact with others, etc. I just want to lay down all the time because it helps. Blah! I hope it's not serious and I hope Doctors can give me an answer.

Hi

1. The rapid eye movement is a symptom of bbvp which one person found she cured herself after 10 days of a lot of water and large dose magnesium supplements.

 

 

me again, just to add a note of something that I heard on the TV, worth a note or question ....

 

The discussion was on a drug ketamine, what i recall is the description given -

 

is that ketamine gives a "detachment of body to mind"

I thought now, that is a good description for us to use and adopt - sounds very medical instead of spacey air head feeling, or not quite there - in no way trying to devalue contributors wording as it is such a hard thing to describe while the brain is not at its best.

 

I wonder- does the brain produce its own ketamine or ketamine like substance ?

 

 

You may want to try some strenuous physical activity, I think that may help and watch your diet especially the sugars. Good Luck!

I too am having these symptoms I did have fluid behind my ears and I also had sinus pressure . I also have neck issues and from being on the computer in the wrong position i also think this has something to do with it.
I also have anxiety and have been stressed so maybe this is the cause all i know is it is horrible and i am tired of feeling off balanced and spaced out. so if anyone knows anything that helps please share.

ive been like this for a year and half now, dont know what itis cant afford to go to the doctor so i try to get use to it but it hard sometime i wish i could just in it.
