For 7 years now i've suffered from vertigo which my doctors give me meds for. Never once have they given me an mri or other test to confirm what was wrong with me. My ENT says its migraine associated because I get a heavy head pressure feeling and its always worse after I work out or just do anything physical. I then started getting problems swallowing which I could see is from stress. Went to the ENT stuck a camera down my throat and said it was fine. I continued having problems with this for months. Then I started getting a tight chest all the time and problems breathing and this constant jumpy feeling. Like I could never relax. Went back to the doctors who said it was for sure anxiety and gave me pills kept going back because It was so bad I couldnt even work even on pills. Went to a different doctor from mental health who gave me every test in the book literally. holter..ekg..blood tests..pulm function tests..stress test..x-rays..24 hr urine tests even stool samples
The only thing they found so far is high dopamine levels.
I'm now getting an mri to rule out a brain tumor.
I feel so depressed I can't even do the things I love anymore. I'm only 20 and used to go out all the time drive places...I feel like a hermit.

I'm stuck inside on sick leave waiting to rule out a brain tumor and woke up this morning with very bad vertigo and problems breathing. Sometimes the vertigo lasts for months but it went away an hour after I got it Smile

And thank you for anyone who replies or even knows half of how I feel.
In many ways this has made me a more mature stronger person but I wish I could do normal things what normal people my age do.

Hi, I'm not really able to help you regarding your problem. I just hope that you rule out tumor on your brain. Also want to say that i know a little about how you fell. A had a very close cosine, that had vertigoes. It was a long time and he is fine now, but i remember how it was hard for him to go through all this. You need to be strong and think positive. Hope that you will be ok. Keep us posted on your condition.

I really hope that it isn't a brain tumor for your sake, obviously! However, I do know that vertigo can have multiple causes and that a lot of doctors are not very experienced in trying to help with it. There are some specialists who do a lot of good work with their patients and they have good results. I think googling vertigo clinic might yield some good results for you. In the meantime, keep us posted, and good luck to you!
