Well...It's good to know I am not alone....
I am gonna let you guys on a little secret. Regular doctors do not help. I've had MRI scans, CAT scans, blood work done...etc...and dr. laughing in my face and mis-diagnosing me. I've been to the doctor's so many times, I can be a doctor by now. My symptoms: dizziness, off balance, sinus pressure, pressure on top of the head, especially when i press on top of the head and then let go you get this weird pressure like your head is rising, kinda like a vertigo effect. It's the best way i can describe it. I am walking around like a zombie and it's hard for me to work etc....This has been happening to me for a few years now. I think it started after my scuba diving lessons..I particularly remember diving and having problems with my ears decompressing...pain lasted for a few days then went away. I also had 2 sinus surgeries (first doctor screwed up). Anyway...I went to a natural health care practitioner..She advised to do 2 things:
1. Allergy test (i thought she had no clue what she was talking about...read on)
2. She also suggested that my imbalance is due to ear damage.
So here is the fascinating part...I tested allergic for all dairy products. I changed my diet and wala...all the sudden I stopped feeling dizzy. It took a few weeks to kick in, but I eliminated dairy completely from my diet..yes you can't even have chocolate. I still do get dizzy sometimes but it's not to such extent as it was before. I also found out that by closing my ears tight with my fingers the dizziness mostly goes away. I have no clue how food allergies and ears are related but those i just some solutions to try out from personal experiences as the doctors just write prescriptions and mis-diagnose you. Remember, if it doesn't pass the common logic test, and the doctor's cannot thoroughly explain to you why you have what you have...you have just been mis-diagnosed.

I really thought I was reading about my life just know. I have the same if not a little worse issues. I really thought no one out there felt like I felt I guess I was wrong. I have and Appt. with a Neurologist tomorrow and from what I've just read he may not beable to help me. Thank you for a better understanding my docotor's were just giving me meds.

I am having these problems right now. This morning I had a bad episode of vertigo. Let me try to explain what it feels like: I suddenly get a pressure in my forehead and my ears (which have been clicking all morning). Suddenly my vision goes back and forth real fast then it trows off my balance for a few seconds and also makes my ears ring with a high pitch sound. I cannot walk or stand straigt when this happens. I was told by my doctor that all this can be caused by my hormonal imbalance.

That is exactly how I feel everyday of my life for the past three years and it is horrible. I can no longer workout. I can’t go anywhere without feeling like I will faint, etc.

When I push the top of my head, it hurts, and I get real dizzy. I go back to my doctor, he stretches my neck, and after a while, the dizziness goes away! Why?
