WHATS GOING ON????
« on: February 14, 2010, 02:05:15 pm »
I have been having a weird feeling in my  head for a few days now.  It's kinda like a headache, but not, kinda like dizzy, but not.  Meds don't help and it's worse when I go outside the house.  I feel OK to drive but bumps in the road make my head feel really weird.

I came down with a cold a couple of days ago and have a lot of congestion and I'm wondering if that could be the cause.  Although I have had lots of colds in the past and never had this feeling. :)  I am really hoping this goes away it is bothersome to say the least.  I have never been one to have headaches but Dr. Slattery from House Ear Clinic did specifically ask me if I suffered from headaches.

Has anyone else had this?  Do you think it's the tumor?

I can't wait to get this thing out!

Hi Sue

I get that too, I cannot drive now as I cannot focus because of the bumps in the road.  I feel it gets worse when I go out as I start looking around at things and it makes me feel ill.  I think its the tumour (actually everthing is the tumour's fault now).  I cannot wait to have mine out too.

Hello Sue

Thanks so much for posting that great article, it really does explain a lot.  I guess it isn't my cold causing this.

Hi Sue    When i have a cold or flu my AN symptons are more noticable. During a bout of Swine Flu this winter I became very congested and had some difficulty getting around. When the congestion finally cleared weeks later my balance returned to my new normal. I think the congestion further compromised my already damaged vestibular function confusing my brain. Hope you improve also.    peace Dave
