Head feels weird.

Posted by ninidan13 @ninidan13, Jun 16 8:32am

Constant head pressure, hearing droplets in my head, hearing crackling and tearing in my head, dizzy, nauseated, irritated, scared. The tearing is on my left side of my skull. I don't think it's coming from the ears but maybe.

I won't see a neurologist until August. Trying to contact my doctor. I think I will go to the ER again. Does anybody have an idea what this could be? Been happening for weeks now.

Interested in more discussions like this? Go to the Brain & Nervous System Support Group.

There's one not too far from my home. Funnily enough, the ER is much closer.

I don't know if it's a good urgent care though. I've been there before from being a little sick. I don't think they have any tests they can do and they'll just send me to the ER anyways.

At the ER right now. Still going through the same stuff. I asked for a CT but the hospital has been slow. Would they catch anything on a CT? I don't think they have an MRI. After telling them my symptoms they said, "there some stuff we wouldn't be able to help you with here"

I guess I don't really like waiting for all of this haha. I just feel terrible and I guess I want all of the pain to stop. They gave me medicine but it didn't work. They'll prescribe me with psych meds. I don't think it's psychological but it wouldn't hurt I guess. Thank you for the replies!

In response to CT/MRI referenced by "nindan": A few years ago I was in the ER for tingling down my left arm and leg. (Ended up being an orthopaedic issue.) The doctor came in and said,
"You don't have a stroke but the CT showed a possible meningioma that could be better evaluated by an MRI."

So you had a brain tumor? I'm really Sorry that happened. That mustve been scary to discover.

I tried to push for a CT but they didn't have a neurologist there so I guess they didn't want to do it. Also they wanted to wait for the MRI referal.

Right now I think I'm going through constant tiny seizures throughout the day. Been having a lot of hallucinarions too. I feel like vomiting but I haven't done that. nothing is enough to go to the ER for. Like I have to faint or die. I have such a big sense of doom. If I can make it tomorrow I'll call my doctor again. I don't know if I can trust the ER right now. They go straight for my mental illnesses.

Went to a different ER for hopefully the last time since things didn't get any better and had a CT scan which came out normal so that's good.

I forgot to mention that I get seizures too (or something like it) and now I wonder if my issue is just having seizures. Still keeping my appointments, thank you!
