I have suffered with dizziness for over a year now, had all kinds of tests and they have put it down to migraine. I am not convinced though. I also had palpitations but the doctor put this down to me being anxious about the dizziness. Now when I get dizzy I get red/flushed and loads of pressure build up my neck and under my chin/jaw. My doctor has said that my thyroid gland looks enlarged and will test me again but the last test showed that it was ok.
At the same time I had other stuff going on - stomach/rib pain, but was always told they were not connected in anyway.
Over the last few weeks I have developed another symptom. In bed at night when I am lay down I can feel my heartbeat really strongly in my head. It isn't in my ears at all, but actually in the back of my head.
I have told my doctor who actually said 'I have no idea what that could be' - doesn't fill me with much confidence but at least he obviously thinks it isn't anything serious.
Has anyone else had anything like this or know what could be causing it. I don't want to google it and frighten myself silly!
