Before these symptoms started, have you changed jobs, changed your physical activity in any way, or moved? These symptoms can be caused by a problem in the neck and upper back area in the deep muscles. This problem will not show up on tests or x-rays and usually doctors miss this as the cause. A neuro. or physical therapist can check your trigger points to see if this is the source, and if it is, it can be treated with physical therapy, soft tissue work. This is what I had. It caused a whole host of very scarey symptoms such as dizzy spells, off balance, a feeling of being out of it mentally, head pressure etc. I went to the doctor for 6 months with these symptoms and was being treated for a virus as they could find nothing wrong. This was all caused by a job I had as it strained the muscles in my back and neck. I hope you find relief. Good luck to you.
