Hi everyone,

Aproximatelly 4 months ago i woke up and i felt extremelly fatigated and with severe lightheadness. Please note that i never had vertigoes or spinning-like feelings...i just felt like i was floating and without energy, this happened specially in the morning. In the afternoon/night i would have headaches and rigid neck. These symptoms were really strong in the beginning. Eventually the neck and head pain started to go away but the light headness was allways there, some days better other days worse. One month after this i've started to feel my both ears full/pressurized. Doctor said that i was tired but before this i was enjoying my life without any worries and i was an extremelly happy young man (22). It seems preety logical to me that i've started to feel anxious and tired because this wouldn't go away right? Anyhow now i still feel the lightheadness everyday as soon as i stand up of the bed and i feel like my head/ears/sometimes nose bone, are submitted to some kind of pressure. Before this started i had a Kart accident. Nothing much...just went against some tires in the wall. My gess would be something related with the cervical spine/muscles...but why is it taking so long?

Any suggestions?

Take care

If you did not already post on inner ear post. They really really know their stuff on that board. It does sound like inner ear. I have the same thing with no diagnosis.

alot of what you are experiencing i am too...i had many tests done..mri of brain and neck, echocardoigram, the list goes on..the drs have concluded i am suffering from an anxiety disorder..check out the postings for panic disorder ..good luck

You may also want to post on the allergy board. Your symptoms sound like they may be allergy related. Allergies can make you wake up feeling pretty bad with headaches, pressure, ear fullness etc., and many times a person will only feel better in the evenings. I had no problems most of my life and suddenly began waking ( in the spring ) feeling like I was drunk all the time. I went to the doctor for weeks and of course he found nothing wrong after a battery of tests, as allergies are easy to miss if they are not specifically checked for. I only found out what was wrong with me by accident from a friend who recognized all my symptoms because that is what she dealt with for years.
About your car accident, there is a possiblity it may be caused by that and if so, physical therapy on your upper back and neck will take care of the light headedness. I was extremely light headed after severe whiplash from a car accident and it does not get better without treatment. I had soft tissue work by a physical therapist where they knead the knots out of the tense muscles, and this takes the pressure off the blood vessels that are causing the light headedness in the first place. If this is the cause of your problem, please make sure you get a therapist who is very experienced at soft tissue work, it helps immensely and is what helped me more than anything. Good luck in your recovery.

have you figured out whats wrong with you yet?
