Hi ,

I've had the same problem in the past with the dizziness that you have

described. In fact I have been having some minor problems with it this past

week. I can't remember what my doctors called it, but I was told it had

something to do with the inner ear which caused an imbalance. I had it very

severe twice before in which I went by ambulance to the hospital to be treated.

The medication they used helped. Resting was the only way I felt good. Any

type of movement agravated the problem so what you are describing makes sense to

me. Call your doctor and talk to him about it. Hope this helps.

What you described could be Meneire's Syndrome. It affects the

middle ear and that is where balance is controlled. I was diagnosed with

that problem a long time ago and it is " episodic " . The doctor prescribed

Meclazine (antihistamine) for me and it worked wonders, but also makes you

quite sleepy.

Hope that helps,

Dianne

was checked by 2 neurologists before buspar. also a pt told me the way my

spine was curved it was pressing on the nerves. causing my dizziness. but

Hi Kathy,

That's interesting that you should mention that. The weird head and dizzy

thing started last Sunday. The week before that was following my hearing

before the SSA judge. I had noticed that my spine was aching between my

shoulder blades but I chalked it up to stress. In fact I still feel it a

little bit now. I haven't felt that pain in a very long time. The reason

I mention it is because over the past 25 years, I have also had it during

some strong and unusual times of mental or physical problems in life. I

used to see a chiropractor back then and sometimes it seemed to help, and

sometimes it didn't. I haven't been to one in probably something like 15

years or more. Maybe it's time to go back!

Thanks.
