Hi everyone.
I’m hoping to find people who have experienced something similar while I’m waiting to get this investigated. I’m not looking for a diagnosis, just to hear other people’s experiences, what tests you had and whether you eventually got any answers.
Around 10 months ago I started having episodes of vertigo that have happened only a handful of times, usually months apart. The first episodes came completely out of the blue and since then my symptoms seem to have gradually evolved. The vertigo itself is usually very brief, but afterwards I can be left feeling like I’m on a boat for hours or longer, and moving my head can make it feel like my brain has to “catch up” with my movements.
Alongside this I’ve developed fluctuating tinnitus, ear pressure/fullness, occasional headaches and some odd sensations around my face and head. The first vertigo attack was also what triggered a lot of anxiety for me, so every recurrence now feels frightening.
I’ve put a much more detailed timeline and symptom list in the next post, as I didn’t want this first post to become too long.
