Undiagnosed Head Symptoms (Still Help!)

Hi @tess0831, I appreciate your retelling your story from the beginning. I've moved this full message to join the earlier discussion you started to keep the history of your journey in one place. While you haven't got a clear diagnosis yet, it does seem like some progress is being made either by ruling things out and trying new avenues of investigation. While it's frustrating to not have a diagnosis, you must be relieved that you passed the basic neurological exam and that the head CT came back normal.
It sounds like you have doctors who are working with you to get to the bottom of the issue. All the best with your appointment with ENT tomorrow. As you prepare for your appointment, you may be interested in reading these discussions:

In a previous post, you said that dizziness wasn't an issue. Is this a new symptom?

Thank you-- and yes, dizziness is a new symptom over the last couple weeks. It's more of an almost-dizzy feeling, where I feel like I'm getting dizzy and then it stops. I've also had, on rare occassion recently, objects shifting when I look at them or looking like they're "breathing", which I've read can be a symptom of inner ear/vestibular issues.
