Last Friday, I randomly felt pressure in my head and felt dizzy, I then went to sleep, woke up and still felt a bit dizzy. The next day I felt dizzy again and just continued with my day. Now after this, for the next three days, I felt completely fine and was glad that I was living normally. A day after that, I got a migraine from not eating, this normally happens to me so I took an Anacin and felt fine. However, for the next three years, the persistent heavy headed/dizziness came back! I visited the doctors and he said he doesnt think its a tumor and does not suggest a CT scan because I dont present symptoms of a tumor. He thinks im stressing too hard for school since im a senior in college and ive been studying pretty hard.
What do you guys think? My symptoms are basically persistent dizziness/heavy headed/slight head pressure, it makes me feel fatigued. Also, it feels like im unbalanced but I can do everything fine, I even jogged for a bit over a mile yesterday and have no problems walking, doing daily tasks. I just dont feel normal.. please help if anyone can!
My main concern is, im scared this is an early symptom of a brain tumor or something serious.. I have no other symptoms that brain tumor presents, such as weakness on one side, seizures, nausea, inability to walk, blurred vision etc.. just dizziness/heavy headed with slight pressure in my head.
I used to think the same thing. Humans beings have a tendency of expecting the worst.
I wouldn't freak out Untill you've had more testing done bro, MRI EEG etc
Have you talked tonany specialists about this?
My family doctor told me he would refer me to a neurologist.. would that be the guy to help diagnose everything?
Absolutely! They can start the process of figuring out what's going on. You'll probably feel much better once you have some testing done
Hi - it sounds like you have migraine associated vertigo which I have or vestibular migraine. You need an MRI to rule out a brain tumour but you have classic symptoms of MAV. See your GP and ask for a referral to a neurologist. There are two good sites on facebook for this, MAV SUPPORT and VESTIBULAR MIGRAINE PROFESSIONAL. It can take time to get a diagnosis but you need to get on with doing that. GPs and ENTs dont know much about this, you need a neuro. Its not life threatening its just debilitating. There are lots of people with it.
