I am only 20. It all started the beginning of May. I am a server and was busy at work and needed something quick to drink. I grabbed a Pepsi. I took a few sips, sat it down. I began to feel very dizzy and like I was about to pass out. I thought I was having some sort of anxiety or panic attack. My vision was very blurred and disoriented.
Fast forward a week and I’m still feeling the same. Pounding headache and the same vision issues. I go into the ER because I couldn’t take it anymore and got a ct scan done. I was afraid that it was something serious. It’s domething I wake up and go to bed with every day and night. Everything came back clear.
So I go about living my life miserabley the next few weeks assuming it might be just allergies or something. It still never goes away so I start seeing my doctor. He tells me it’s probably just migraines so he puts me on topamax, which made my symptoms worsen. I got off of it and started taking proponoral. That didn’t do much of anything either.
Fast forward another few weeks. I am still feeling the very same. I still have that pounding headache that I wake up with and go to bed with every night. I went to the ER and they gave me a muscle relaxer. I take it and it woke up with my headache completely gone. Although I am still experiencing the same vision issues. My headache becomes very on and off instead of constant.
My doctor suggested that I get an MRI so I go and do so and it came back clear. All good. My chronic headache disappears a couple weeks after that and it’s more of a constant pressure around my head now with the dizzy/foggy brained eyesight. I recently had an eye exam done and that was all good as well. I have been living like this for 4 months with no answers and I just can’t do it anymore. I am very unmotivated and my family and boyfriend see that. Any suggestions?
