Started as lightheadedness when driving.

Ears, nose and throat

I have been seeking advice on my condition. It started last fall as lightheadedness when I was driving. Since then, it has gotten to the point where I can not even ride in the car. I feel like I am going to pass out, get a sunburn look to my chest and neck, and nauseous.

I have been to numerous doctors and the only true diagnosis was Rocky mountain spotted fever. My MRI was normal, CT scan was normal, ent found the rmsf. I also had the table tilt test done to me which I failed (fainted).

Any advice or suggestions would be great....thanks

Hi Dennis,

Is lightheadedness your only symptom?

Hello, that is my main complaint. I do get a sunburn look to me from nipple line up, mostly on back of neck. All the drs just keep referring me around. I did have a small amount of black mold in my house also. Was curious if that could be a contributor.

Mt PT told me years ago after heavy rains and some flooding in our area , she got real busy. The mold forms and will trigger vertigo/dizziness. But it doesn't explain your other symptoms.

Thanks, I had one ent tell me that the sunburn effect is due to allergies. I have an appt on Friday with new doc. Will advise what is found.
