Hi, hoping to find some advice or anyone that's had similar as I'm losing hope and can only see things getting worse :-( So.....roughly 2 years ago I suffered a standard cold that progressed to an ear infection then spread to a chest infection then back to an ear infection, various antibiotics and steroids kept it moving around until it finally went.

Since then I've had constant headaches, medication I'm taking topirimate stops the tinnitus and migraines but the throbbing of a headache is constant.

I've been for an mri and given the all clear so the doctors have said its 'stress' headaches. This week I've suddenly developed vertigo, went to the walk in centre and given yet more medication.

I've been to the doctors on a few occasions but just been brushed off with its stress! Surely everyone's life is stressful but not everyone suffers headaches which develops into vertigo!

I'm asking for help/advice from you all as although I've only had it once, vertigo scares me and I'm worried about being told to live with it as I have with my headaches! 

Sorry for the the essay but thanks in advance
