Does anyone else suffer with these dreadful dizzy spells???
I've experienced a few recently to the point of which I really lose my bearings and its scary I've also been experiencing occasional severe headaches, is there any connection too Tinnitus does any one know??
I get very dizzy and feel like you but ENT said it's not related to my ears.I suffer terrible anxiety a lot and I think this contributes. I have problems with catarrh etc... and yet sometimes when I go out I feel fine after a while. My eyes play up too. I get headaches but I think its stress related again.
I was out for the first time in a while this morning. My fiancé saw me on the bus. I was just taking the bus into Glasgow and then one back. I somehow seem to feel fine on a bus or in a car. My tinnitus didn't even bother me. I walked along Stockwell street in the sun, and no dizziness and no tinnitus to get a bus back and I enjoyed it. Something I haven't done in a while. I felt like my old self.Enjoyed something.
As soon as the bus home got near East Kilbride the anxious feelings started. Home and all the things are playing up again. The tinnitus is quite loud.
I'm pretty sure a few people feel like you do and it's horrendous to experience. I know I feel isolated at times because I am the one experiencing it and no matter how others try to help it doesn't help sometimes. I don't know if the headaches are tinnitus related but like me, maybe stress related due to what's happening to you.
I get easily scared sometimes and I try not to. I'm trying to get more confidence and face the tinnitus better. I hope you feel better soon.

You could be right about anxiety and stress causing these symptoms my stress and anxiety is out of control I've also notice slight problems with my sight,
I had no idea stress and anxiety could cause so many problems, thanks for your reply
No problems. The tinnitus was only in one ear and now it's in the other. I got it in the good ear when I had a breakdown last may. Wasn't much of a bother but the last couple of days it has gone right up.High pitch metallic squeal the same as the other.Goes up, down and almost not there.
I have had peace for a few hours at a time in my bad ear the last couple of days too.Strange!
The good one has been roaring for a while this afternoon and the bad one quiet. It is joining in now though.
The audiologist said it can travel but I can only assume the rise in the good one is stress, though to go high after all these months of being kind of low.
I go to the audiologist tomorrow to get the sound generator in my hearing aid for the bad ear turned up. I can ask about it then. I have mild hearing loss in that ear.
And I get a sound generator for my good ear in two weeks. I have no hearing loss in that one.
I shall be glad I think when the two are working away.
When I went for the sound generator hearing aid for my bad one the audiologist wanted it louder but I found it quite scary so she turned it down. However when I got out and about and at home I couldn't fully hear it so I asked if it could be turned up.
When I do hear it though, it seems comforting, knowing I can hear it working on by ear.
Bit stressed to say the least now but I have come this far and two weeks isn't long.
Glad to have helped a bit.

I need to be referred somewhere, the trouble is I had a hearing test with an audiologist and was told there was slight hearing loss, I couldn't even cope being in the room for the hearing test, I was then referred too ENT where I was told to look after my mental health and discharged, I feel my quality of life is so poor, I went to my GP last week she checked my ears all clear told me to double my anti depressant which is making me feel like a zombie in the hope of my Tinnitus easing which of course it hasn't
I get no respite at all from it, I got to bed and that's a nightmare as it sounds worse I wake up its the first thing I hear. at the moment I cant get any lower
NHS 24 and ask to speak to a mental health professional. This is part of the service. They will call you back. Tell them how you feel and talk to them.
Presenting yourself at a&e and telling them your situation and you need help will see you are seen by a mental health professional. Hold nothing back. Tell them how you feel! And I don't think there us anything you could exaggerate. This should see you onto being referred to your local mental health team. It may take several weeks but you've come this far and we're there with and for you.
My son took me when I had my breakdown. And I didn't even feel it up until the last minute.

I've considered those options but i.ve never felt my problem to be important enough to bother anyone
I would give these options a go. You're important as a human being and don't let yourself suffer any more.
Mental health is important and so are you.
And you may well come away with the beginnings of something such as referral to your local mental health team to implement a care plan and support.

For a few months before T started, I was sometimes having problems with my balance and eye to hand co-ordination. Then about a week before T arrived and for a few weeks afterwards I occasionally had the most severe headaches that I've ever experienced. I never found out if there was any connection between these and T.
Hi Carol ,do you take any medication for dizziness like Betahistine or proclorperazine or Buccastem ?
No these symptons are new I haven't discussed them with my GP
Hi Carol,
Have you ever been tested or checked by ENT for Menieres....I would push your doctor for a referral...lots of love Glynis
