Hello everyone. I have a story and I dont know whats going on with me now. It started around 3 weeks ago that I started to have strange dizziness, I dont know if I can call it dizziness, because I dont feel something is spinning, but I feel in my head some strange dizzy feeling. Feels like when we was kids, and we was spinning around our self many times then try to walk and cant because feeling mess in brain. Thats how I feel. I was in ear doctor, they checked my ear, also made balance test, check if its problem with inner ear, but they said my ears are fine. Then I went to eye doctor, because I have also pressure behind my eyes. Eye doctor said im fine, I have strong eyes and they are healthy. I had full blood test and everything is fine, ecxept my doctor said I have a bit high cholesterol, but he said nothing dangerous and also I already fixed that with healthy diet. They made EKG and said its also fine. I dont really know, because its not anxiety and not panic attacks. This two I had before, and I know how they feel. I still have xanax medication from long time ago, its not helping for my head and dizziness, but it did for my anxiety and panics in past, so im sure its not them I have now. 

The symptoms is worsen only when im walking or standing up. When im laying I dont feel anything. The best way to describe symptom is when I look down with my head while standing and then I move it back up straight, I get confused inside my head, but not spinning and its always like that from 3 weeks. Or when looking into the phone, then after 1min looking up somewhere is same feeling, getting confused in my head and feeling off balance. I dont have any pains in my back or neck. I had MRI scan of my head and my neck - 1.5 year ago. Could something change in that time and I get some serious condition? Sometimes im worried that I have tumor in my head, but blood test didnt showed. Im also feeling most of time nausea, when I have this kind of dizzy, I feel like im gonna throw up. The dizziness(feeling strange balance) is worse when im walking outside somewhere. Sometimes when I stand up I get painful pressure for seconds in my temples, but I also have sometimes soft pressure in them for long time. Most pressure I have in my back of head, both temples, but mostly left. My vision is also really strange, even I was in eye doctor, I have strange vision, its not double vision, but i see around things lights or something. If I keep looking at the person inside the eyes, I cant look so long, because then things around the person im looking starting to disappear, like I was looking at the light for so long time. Dont have any floaters. Im sorry if I wrote text horrible, but I hope you gonna understand me. The problem is my doctor keep saying it can be anxiety or something. But I dont know which doctor I should visit now or what else I should do. I cant concentrate on doing my things anymore, can go outside with family, all the time feeling passing out from that pressure in my head, feeling confused and lost, like im not from this earth. If anybody want to ask me more, you are welcome. Im gonna answer fast to your questions guys. Im also waiting for advices and what I should do.

    People. I also notice that most of time im biting my teeths. I mean, I keep holding them strong like I have some food in my mouth and dont want someone take it. My jaw also feeling locked hard because of the teeths. If I release my teeths and stop holding them then I start to feel pressure in head.

      I also suffer off and on with jaw pain. I wonder if you have any unusual dryness in your mouth or eyes?

    SIR / MAAM,

    Srry for the delayed response, I saw this question just now and I think i know what this is. I just wanted to know that are consuming Tobacco or Coffee, because Nicotine and Caffeine can cause such symptoms that you are facing. If so quit both of them. The symptoms almost match to that which you are facing, Some of them are Lightheadedness, Constant and Recurring Head Spins or Dizzy Spells, Nausea, Vertigo, Pressure on Pineal Gland or Forehead, Depersonalization. And also the most important thing to do when you have such spells is to lay down on your bed, close your eyes (closing will help you to minimize the symptoms, the more you move your eyeballs, the more nauseated and dizzy you feel) and take deep breaths. Another thing is that to zero your symptoms have Hydroxyzine (Atarax) 25 mg, Benzos(Xanax) won't help. And also please consult your doctor to cgeck with the jaw locking symptom which is mostly unheard in this case. Most probably will not be, but still check for any other symptoms like numbness of one side of face, Facial Droop, Arm Drift, Slurred Speech. And please take care of yourself. Reply me when you have received this message.
