I have been suffering with vertigo, left side headaches/pressure, fatigue etc. I had a brain ct scan that showed some shadows so i am waiting to see a neurologist and have an mri scan.
I keep getting what I can only describe as like an internal shift inside my head and I feel dizzy for a few seconds and I instantly feel panicky and odd. When the left side of my head feels heavy etc my right arm and leg feel weaker than my left.
I just wish I knew what was going on.

Vertigo was the first symptom for me. I'm sorry you are experiencing it. I know of nothing that relieves it either. There are a few drugs on the market that are suppose to work, but for me they didn't. Even today I suffer from vertigo and dizziness.

Hopefully you will see the neuro soon. Don't worry until then. I know that is easier said than done, but try real hard not to worry. I hope you are seeing a good neuro. Good luck.

I know from my experiences that the brain is crossed-wired and similarly as in strokes, the damage in the brain shows up on the other side of the body physically if that makes sense. I still have issues of dizziness (like I'm on a moving ship and can't quite get a foothold). For last two years it feels like my sinuses are involved - a lot of earpopping and sensitivity to the barometric pressure.

I was given meclizine which doesn't help much. I've tried decongestants that don't do anything. Still looking for relief!

A nice dry sunny day helps :)

Sorry you are suffering from vertigo. As others have said there are drugs on the market that work for some & not others.
The only natural thing I know of to help is ginger. If you go to a chemist or health food shop they will be able to sell you some in different amounts depending on what they have too. Hope this helps.

I have been scheduled with ME for 8 years, but had vertigo for the 1st time while x-mas shopping this past Nov. It is nasty. . Lots of hugs & warm wishes to you.

    Usually I get a daily influx of emails on health topics.  An article from Dr. Mercola really stood out recently though because it mentioned that fat cells have their own mitochondria. Not only was this the first I'd heard of this, he also mentioned that fat serves a purpose in our metabolism.  Another new factoid for me.  The bottom line for me was to appreciate that even our fat cells play a...

    I just do not feel well and I really think that it's because I cried yesterday on my way to work about my Aunt who is in the hospital.  I don't think that we will have her much longer.  She is very frail.  Now she needs help eating.  So, this is the third time in a year that I felt this way after crying.  I think crying releases toxins into my body.  I also worked up a sweat at the gym...
