I had an abnormal MRI in March and am scheduled for an Evoked Protential Test Tuesday for the last few weeks I have had a throbbing headache and I can feel my heartbeat in my ears almost constantly. I am dizzy more often than not. I had Husband call Nuero and he called in a script for dizziness, it's not helping much. I'm Really Scared!!!

Unfortunately we are all on our own with IH issue medically, if I may ask, did you get a sleep study?
what does your neuro-idiot think is going on? you should not be confused, therefore he must be. maybe time for a second opinion.
