Funny turns - anxiety/stress related?

Hi,

For a few weeks I've been having "funny turns". They first started when I was suffering with headaches daily on one side. I was sat at my desk on my laptop and I felt like I was fainting. The best way I can describe it was the feeling that I was falling and that blood was rushing from my head. It lasted for literally 1 second, I felt panicky afterwards but okay. I went to the doctor several times who told me it was a viral infection, migraine, sinusitis. My headaches have since relieved after being given a nasal spray but I'm still getting these funny turns. Tonight in bed I was lying down, watching TV and had the same feeling that I was falling backwards with blood rushing from my head. I'm not sure if my vision went as again it only last for 1 second. My legs felt heavy and I felt panicky again. I do suffer with anxiety, but haven't had these symptoms before. I feel like the doctors aren't listening to me. Any advice would be grately appreciate. Thanks

Are you a bit run down at the moment? Had a spell of stress/pressure?
Migraines can present in many strange and quite frightening ways. I've had years of adjusting and coping with what I'd describe as not your common migraine. x

Inner ear problems can trigger vertigo which is a horrible "funny" feeling.
