Title: WHATS GOING ON????
Post by: sues1953 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.

It's your balance system!!  It's amazing what all it can affect.

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
