Undiagnosed Head Symptoms (Still Help!)

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.

@tess0831 With your dizziness and seeing objects shifting don't rule out and eye problems . I would make an appt to see your ophthalmologist after your ENT appt if you don't get any satisfaction . Good luck Let us know your outcome.

@tess0831 When I read your post what I think about is a physical problem that may be due to spine alignment. Some of this can be aggravated by poor posture, with issues like thoracic outlet syndrome (which I have) and that can affect blood flow to the brain. TOS can stop blood flow by turning your head. I am also a spine surgery patient, and have had a fair share of neck muscle spasms that have pulled on my cervical vertebrae. If C1 or C2 are twisted, turned or tilted, it can set off very bad dizziness or vertigo until they are realigned properly and that also affects blood flow to he brain if it is off. I have been fine ever since spine surgery. You may want to find a good physical therapist who is familiar with TOS and who rehabs spine surgery patients for an evaluation. Here are some technical links that can explain some possible issues.
