Hi Dr. I do not know where to begin, for the last 7 weeks i have been experiencing constant lightheadedness - where i will have a sudden onset of a dizzy-turn where my heart races & i go into a state of pre-syncope. i have never, so far, endured full blown syncope. My left ear feels as though it is blocked, sometimes i get a slight ringing sensation. i have anxiety when i have to go somewhere due to the fear of not know when my head will go funny . i have 2 small children, have a full time job and am 22 yo female. also, since this incident - i have had lots of gunk in my nostrils.. its never runny. i have had CT scans, blood tests, hearing and balance tests - all clear, though i was told it could possibly be vestibular neuritis, & 8th cranial nerve damage, and that it will go away on it s own. when these turns come on, i have to lay down & i am usually extremelly fatigued after for a few hours, sometimes even days. it is very difficult for me to go about my regular day & work like this. I have seen a 2nd doctor, who is sending me for more CT scans/MRI scans in a few weeks if it has not passed or eased up. could it be eustachian tube dysfunction? i need the comfort of an answer (i know it is hard to do), and some sort of relief - if not long term, for a brief moment. it is debilitating and extremelly frustrating. please help guide some light into this! i do not drink, smoke, or take any drugs. i live a healthy and active lifestyle (before all of this started)... & as much as i physically can now. My anxiety has only been recent, i am so scared to go anywhere by myself incase it happens & i cant do anything & no one knows what is going on with me.. please help! Tiffiny Kajewski
