Ok, my first and desperate post. Male, 40, with controlled high BP. Two weeks ago extreme feeling of lightheadedness started. The room wasnt spinning, just more that I needed to sit down. Docs suggested Labrynthitis and prescribed prochlorperazine then betahistine hydrochloride. Neither meds improved my condition and I went to A&E. Echogram done and bloods checked, sent home. I'm now getting upper bodytremor/spasms across the top of my chest. I was originally waking up during the night with a shakiness feeling but now its more spasm like. These episodes come and go at different times during the dayand night. A few nights ago, I felt like something happened in my head and then my neck went stiff. Went to A&E and they did another echogram, performed some reflex tests then sent me home as my condition didnt present anything sinister. I'm now awaiting a CT scan that my GP has requested but i feel like a nervous wreck. These episodes seems to get worse and occur daily. I get jelly legs and weak upper arms too. Its like something is taking over my body. Anything jumping out to anyone?
