Hi all.

I've been reading through all your posts and have symptoms like, but not exact, to the ones posted on here. I was hoping by posting my exact symptoms someone could help point me in the right direction.

7 Days ago I woke up and everything was "off". I had trouble walking and my head just didn't feel fully connected to my body. I get a very light headed sensations whenever I move my head. If I lie in bed with my eyes close, things feel pretty normal. I have a very slight fullness feeling in my ears and every once in a while I hear like a crackling in my ears (mosts on yawning and swallowing). I went to my regular doctor and was diagnosed with Vertigo from a viral infection and given anti-vert. So far it hasn't helped at all. The doctor also had a Catscan done of my head and he said that looked ok.

After reading more about Vertigo, it seems to always be associated with spinning, which I do not have.

Any thoughts or suggestions on what this sounds like are greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
Frank

Hi Frank.

Well I think you can have vertigo, balance/inner ear problems without the actual spinning. Also the ear fullness sounds very familiar.
That's how mine started this time actually - weird balance and ear-fullness.

Keep badgering your Dr for answers - as Halls says get referred to an ENT and keep checking out this board. There are very knowledgeable people on here that seem to know more than most of the Drs I've seen!
Good Luck and feel better soon!!
