Hi All
Im David and from SA about a year and a half ago I had a URI (viral) which lasted for about 2 months , towards the end I had what i describe as massive head pressure , if i bent over it felt like my head was going to explode , this feeling lasted for about 2 weeks and then it subsided into what i call brain fog , a feeling that something is just very off and my vision does not feel right , i can see fine but something feels weird , also if i roll my head around or spin around just once i get dizziness.
I have had blood work , ct scan , 2 MRI`s , Angeogrophy , been to ENT , nerologist , had eyes tested and now seeing an inner ear specialist , so far all tests are normal except for a vascular malformation found in the temporal bone region which they think has probably always been there which explains my pulsatile tinitus but they do not think that the other symptoms are related , well not yet anyway.
i dont have BPV or a fistula nor is there any disherance of the bone.
This also started just before my baby was born and some people say it could be anxiety but i dont believe it could cause such symptoms and surely not every day all day.
I would appriciate if anyone else has experianced this and has some advice , to me it has to be related to the massive pressure i felt in my head because as soon as that went away i was left with these symptoms.
Thanks

What was your initial issue ---was it vertigo? You all gave me so much support & would look forward to folks thart wouldn't think I was crazy.
Think you will see more of me.

My question is what did you do to retrain your brain? In the past I watched videos with movement that helped. But you couldn't watch them if you were very dizzy. I may have start watching again.

Are you in the UK -I forgot? To make matters worse I have a very arthritic neck. My poor hubby is probably so sick of my complaints.
Actually what you said is more than any of the good doctors had to say. Not getting a diagnosis is so frustrating. Thanks.

One year ago I also started with strange symptoms. I was dizzy & feeling much the same as you. Also I went from doctor to doctor. Back in August the dizziness just went away. I thought I was in heaven.
But now I so have equilibtium problems. Three days ago I was miserable with those issues & a weird head. Yesterday & today better.
I do have a very bed neck with severe arthritis. I do think it plays some part in how I feel at times. This is a good site & I received alot of support & info from this site. Where is SA? I am in the US. Hang in there hopefully it will lessen as times goes on...
