Post Covid Head Pressure/ Dizziness

Hi @rmc1021. So sorry you are experiencing this but know there are a lot of us here who can share similar stories and things tried to glean helpful things for you. When able to read past posts, knowing everyone is having very different effects of many symptoms and responding differently to methods of help, suggest start journal notating those with same symptoms to be able to track progress and steps they took as each state, county, healthcare system will create different circumstances to maneuver. Wish you the best on your healing journey !🌈

You might try red light therapy. I use a red light lamp. Seems to help

Like you, I had COVID in Nov. 2021 and have never been the same since. I can't walk well and feel like falling often. I have had numerous doctor's visits to no avail. I couldn't get into the Mayo Post COVID clinic. In a recent ENT visit, he mentioned "normal pressure hydrocephalus" which is what my father died of. I am pursuing that potential currently. You might mention it to your doctor next time as a consideration.

Similar here. Pressure in my head and I feel like I’ve
been drunk for the last two years.

Hi I just joined. Can’t believe there is someone else that feels like this. My balance is off and like you feel like I’m drunk, had Covid over two years ago. Had an MRI in June but nothing. Have other symptoms but this one has been one of the debilitating one.

My symptoms are head pressure, and pressure in my ears with muffled hearing, blurry vision and swollen nasal passages (no mucus). I’m being treated with antihistamines but it doesn’t seem to be helping much. Also have disturbed digestion with extreme constipation.
I had MRI that didn’t show anything. The noise of the MRI machine triggered tinnitus and hyperacusis, so I wish I had opted OUT of that procedure.
This journey has been the hardest of my life. No real answers yet.
Good luck to you.

I see and hear you, I have suffered through those symptoms as well, sinus issues, ears feel stuffy or full, rinsing and fluttering in my ears, vision blurry at times, pins and needles feeling in my head, CT scans show nothing also. Yea this has been a nightmare!
I wish a complete healing for you.

Not the most common lingering symptoms of Covid. But we are out here. I am working with an Integrative medical group that at least listens, and tries to put together treatment.
My former primary physician and specialists she sent me to were no help at all. It is so frustrating.
I hope for your healing as well.

@rmc1021 and @mbryant1380 You are not alone with the symptoms you describe. Reads very similar to mine that began shortly after my first (and last Moderna booster!) in November 2021. The sensations I have/had are unique and difficult to describe exactly. Feels like dizzy but not exactly, feels like dropping on a roller coater but not exactly, feels like light headedness but not exactly, when I stand/stood still I sense a rocking sensation. At not time have I fallen and I do have good balance. The only time my Wife and I tested positive for COVID in July 2022. I knew something was wrong and went to my GP in January 2022, he threw every test in the book at me and my journey of "what its not" began here in Charleston SC. Long story short advocated/pushed for myself and ended up at Mayo Rochester August 2023. Executed the Mayo program and now feel better and hoping Long COVID becomes a memory. mbryant1380 You are not alone with the symptoms you describe.

Highly recommend you take "the journey of what its not" with your local providers and then if needed find your way to Mayo Rochester for their program. It has worked for me.

Believe me the doctors did their due diligence. They even thought it was an arrhythmia issue because of the palpitations (racing heart, skipped heartbeat and fluttering) so they attempted to do an ablation, but the EP study showed nothing. They couldn’t stimulate or sustain the arrhythmia to see where it was coming from. Had me on beta blockers and channel blockers for a little while prior to the EP Study.
I’m so happy for you, and wish nothing better more progress in the healing process. I’m going to see how this Program through NYU Langone in Manhattan goes. If nothing then if I try keep pushing forward and have any hope left, will try another program.
