What Causes Persistent Dizziness?
hey Doc,i have been dizzy for 4 months now, seen a PCP, ER (3 times),ENT, and neurologist. blood work,2 cat scans, ENG/VNG balance test,allergry and hearing test. all came back normal except a few things in the allergy department.they ENT seems to think it is just allergies, and i have started allergy shots last week, along with zyrtec,nasonex, neilmed sinus wash and astepro. and tomorrow im going for an MRI to see if possible acoustic neuroma my question is could allergies really be causing me to be dizzy this whole time? for 4 months. i had to quit school cause i cant function, and now with the meds, i still feel dizzy, but i dont know if thats just a side effect of the zyrtec cause it is alot less then what it was.so could all this be allergies or does it sound like acoustic neuroma?...is dizziness common with allergies? am i on the right path to get fixed?any advice is appriciated !....thank you 25 female good health (i think)

25 years acoustic neuroma???? UNLIKELY
DIZINESS - ACOUSTIC NEUROMA ??? UNLIKELY. as it is a very slow growing tumour, causes tinnitus, causes hearing loss , but vestibular systems adapts itselfs fast hence diziness is usually not seen,
do you have hearing loss nausea vomiting, i think you should think about meniere's
if you have diziness on head movement, we can think of b.p.p.v
i am telling yoou only ent aspect of vertigo. But first of all we should rule out low b.p, and unsteadiness which you may be interprating as vertigo. give me details about your symptoms, we will definitely help you
