Nausea and dizziness that has lasted six weeks

[CarrotsAreNotTheOnlyVegetables]

I have been suffering severe nausea and dizzyness for over 6 weels now.

To the extent that I can barely eat most days and have lost a lot of weight, and cannot walk across the room without hanging on to the furniture.

have been to docs twice, first time changed my HRT to a different brand, that just made me worse (to the extent that I was constantly throwing up).

The second time they took me off HRT altogether for 2 weeks and gave me antisickness tablets. These helped with the sickness but not with the dizzyness. I finished these 2 days ago and the sickness and dizzyness is back so I can't go to work (can't risk driving). As I am self employed this means I lose pay.

I am due to go back to GP tomorrow but I just feel like death today. I feel so bad I have just been crying all day.

What on earth could be wrong?

6 weeks that is!

My money (not much admittedly) would be on an inner ear infection. My GP diagnosed me when he saw me walk across the room. Strong antibiotics did the trick, seasickness pills until they worked and months of gradually receding nausea. Was okay in the end though.

Yes, I would also get Gp to consider things such as labrynthitis - which has similar affects. Not a medic myself, just thinking outloud.

Hope you get some solution or it goes away asap.

most probably an inner ear problem (but might not be!) go back to the Gp and get them to try something else and to look seriously at your balance problem. If you could afford to go private you could see an ENT specialist sooner and get a better idea of the problem.

are you having any problems with lights? any other symptoms even if you think its not related?

Update:

Turns out it is a benign brain tumour!

Bit of a shocker, but I have op booked for Tuesday and have been reassured it is definitely not cancer and I will be back to normal in about 6 weeks.

Just glad I have found out what it is so it can be sorted out.
