Pressure in head; floaters; lack of concentration

hi its nikki again..reading all these post helps alot but i just dont understand why everyday i have these floaters and u make a good point about the neck thing..i for sure want to go to the doctor but i feel like im always there lol! but i know how u feel about having floaters make u not wanna go out side i feel the same way i never wanna be out  cause all i do is see the floaters im tired of it im so scared i could have a brain tumor or something its scaryyyy

I have severe pressure in my head from the back all the way to the front on my forehead and behind my eyes. ..I also have floaters,ringing in the ears,And some severe memory loss, Cannot concentrate .Been to many many doctors.Neuros Have had MRIs CT scans x-rays Blood work blood work blood work..,Heart echos,Sinus checked,Ears checked .Was told all normal {NORMAL YA!! IF THEY COULD ONLY FEEL WHAT I FEEL!!} So Doctors started me on a drug train. .. I have tried many types of Antidepressants,Anxiety, Anti inflammatory, muscle relaxers,antibiotics,steroids,pain drugs over 80 different drugs in the past 8 years NOTHING helped!! I have also had cortisone injections Been to Chiropractors,massage therapists, acupuncturists , I finally said ENOUGH DRUGS the last one they put me on almost killed me..I did see a eye doctor who stated yes u have floaters and I do have pressure (forgot the term thanks to memory issues} behind the eye no glaucoma .. So where do I go from here!! Life sucks being me for sure. Cannot work cannot function due to progressive memory problems. I used to be smart as a whip. Now feels like my brains a sponge and cannot absorb any more info ..nothing sinks in anymore..:( Yes also been checked for TMJ..Now heres the weird part once in a blue moon I can be sitting,driving,working or etc. All of a sudden all the pressure just feels like it drained out of my head I get very off balance and ill but my head feels normal NO pressure ,But it slowly comes back as if there was a build up of fluid and then it reaches its peak and drains but it starts again..The first time this happened I thought I was bleeding out or something WEIRD!!! ANY input would be greatly appreciated...I have been reading online about Normal pressure Hydro. ANY comments???

You guys need to get checked for Lyme Disease. It can cause all of these symptoms and more.

plz don worry as i had d same problem...it came frm d neck...nd i couldnt realise it...just do some lateral neck stretches and stop sitting at d computer and u ll b fine...don b depressd!

I have been having all these problems too and I really believe its all related to my neck also. Thank you. This has been very stressful - all these pains and pinching pain in arms and back of legs headaches floaters in eyes - sinuses really dry. So now I guess I need to have my neck checked out. so frustrating

Oh honey I am just sick for you. You are so young and should be loving life and having fun. I know how you feel cause I too have the same symptoms. I have been to so many doctors and no diagnoses or relief. I just saw an allergist and have started getting allergy shots as I am very allergic to dust mites. I won't know for a long time if they give me relief cause they said it could take 6months to feel any relief. I am losing my mind I have 2 children and a job and it takes everything I have to be a mom and go to work. I will let you know if I find anything that helps me. Hang in there sweetie.

Hey my name is Jorge i have the same problems as everyone else on her. The whole time i have been having these symptoms i have had neck creeks. Almost as if pressure is being released. Now that i have read your post i am really starting to see the connection! Thank you!!!

lOOK UP THE SYMPTOMS FOR SILENT MIGRAINES

I agree with one of the other people on this site.  Please get checked for Lymes Disease as it can cause a lot of the numbness, vision and concentration issues.  You usually experience these symptoms in the later stages of Lymes and you may need to go on antibiotic therapy or IV treatment.  It's better late than never.  It could be other things as well but I tested positive for Lymes and have the same issues as some people on this board (vision problems, occassional numbness, fatigue, anxiety).

I had the same symptons n it was depression n anxiety.. Seen 6 doctors n they all told me the same...

hi dont know if you will get this 5 years later but I have had pressure, eye strain, severe allergies reactions trouble focusing and thinking, this went on for a year and half finally my boss who is a chiropractor diagnosised me with a systemic yeast infection. I went to my md and he treated me for one it saved my life I still have to keep in under control with herbal medication and it still flares up enough to need the prescription stuff again. with all the sugar and antibotics, carbs ect it wouldn't hurt to look into it on the internet. unfortunatly there is no test for it but you will know within days of being treated that it is helping if you just do over the counter medication you will need to limit most sugars and carbs from your diet because that is what yeast lives on.

hope this helps and you get this sorry for the bad typing hurt my thumb the other day

susan

check into systemic yeast infections

Eye floaters can be caused by aqueous detachment which occurs often as people age and is not usually considered a serious problem. The sticky fluid that fills the eyeball separates from the retina.

Hi, People out there. I have similar problem, especially in my right eye. I am having this problem from my childhood. Anytime I see something bright it affects me, my concentration level just goes down like hell. I got some relieve not fully but partially, I tried a multivitamin called Centrum accidentally. i found out it helped me alot( but only while you are taking it). so you guys can try it too. If you cant afford to have one try some similar multivitamins. Also anybody has come up with permanent solution please let me know. It would mean a lot to me though

I'm having the same problem. But I'm in the stabilized situation. However the pressure feeling is sometimes back. I have a lot of floaters. I have also vitreous detachment and fibers condition. I had and some blood vessels bleeding in the peripheral retina. I also have starting cataract and weird eye sparks, lights and other strange things. I'm also having a subtle vibration in my vision (for both eyes simultaneously). And I forgot to mention the noise in my ears.

It is very weird situation and everything began with the head pressure and eye migraine. Until then I didn't had any problems. First it started with the head pressure, then I had eye migraine and after that the light effects remain, but with no migraine. Few months later I've got my first floaters, now I have a lot more.

The opthalmologists says this is a result of eye inflamation (I mean all the eye problems) BUT they don'f find any inflammation source. The small leakage of the blood vessels in the peripheral retina stopped for now (after homeopathy treatment). However, the pressure in the head comes back some times. And nobody can explain how my eye problems started AFTER my head problems started.

I did MRI, Blood tests, Doppler ultrasound, Goldman eye exams, FA and whatever you can imagine. The neurologists even insisted I must start antidepressants to solve the head problem. I tried for sometime, but the only thing this succeeded was that I was sleepy all the time so I stopped them.

I'm sure that the REAL problem is not in my eyes, but something causes my head pressure to change.

I'm starting to wonder on the idea that my neck is in the center of the problem, but I don't know how to examine this. I did Xray on it and everything was perfect. I'm considering Scanner or MRI.

Please, if someone has solution on this, could you write me at
