So it turns out my ear infection was referred ear pain from a vestibular headache. Has anyone had these? I am left with slight dizziness. I am taking dramamine. I am also doing vestibular exercises. When will I feel better? I read taking aspirin preventatively helps. I already take magnesium. It also is hard to use my computer, television or phone as it bothers my eyes.

I got the headache on the day I got my period. It also was first time my period was only lasted a day. I have this feeling it is related to perimenopause hormonal issues.

Any thoughts any help.

I love this forum as it keeps my anxiety under control.

    so i feel like i had something similar last night. i took a shower and about a half hour later i suddenly became hot around my face and neck and a headache started. it wasnt real bad but then my vision started to get weird and it felt like someone was squeezing my head and neck. this went on for about 15 minutes and it just made my anxiety rise until i took a xanax. it was scary but im not sure what it was.

    I am so sorry. Are you still a little dizzy? Swaying? That is what I am left with. It is worse if I turn my head side to side. I keep hoping it will improve. Two days ago I was pretty good, but then yesterday I must have moved around too much and I felt so dizzy.
