Random Dizziness and Nausea, please help :(?
It seems like to me you could have meneirs diesese or vertigo . I have it and what you are explaining sounds almost identical .. The best thing to do is to lay flat on the floor when you are having one of them attacks because being flat will stop the dizziness because if it is in deed meneirs the attacks will ballon into hours and hours with out treatment and are very horriable ..however I take meds now and I dont have attacks a lot just ringing in the ear but it is diffantly something to talk to a dr. about www.menieresinfo.com/symptoms.html
Balance/dizziness?
I have had minor balance problems / dizziness for almost a year.sometimes when i take steps (usually sideways or diagonally) i seem to lose my balance and have to take an extra step. twice (in the last month) when i have been sitting down and then stood up, my head feels like it is spinning but then it goes away after 20 seconds or so, almost like a mini vertigo attack. also (and this may be unrelated) sometimes when i am sitting down and then get up or when i suddenly change what i am looking at, my eyes almost kind of go blind to the light change and take 10 seconds or so to re-adjust. this has been happening a lot longer than a year so i think its probably unrelated. if i had an inner ear infection, would these symptoms really occur like this for almost a year without getting that much worse? ive had no hearing problems or any other symptoms commonly associated with an inner ear infection? is there anything else that could cause these symptoms. lack of sleep (i have had less sleep over the past year when these symptoms began) or something else? im afraid i have meningitis or something serious. someone please answer me. thank you.
Why does my entire ear move/twitch when I hear random noise. Like someone opening the door...? ?
Think of it this way, when you want to something far away, you squint to adjust your eyes. It's a natural instinct. Another one, though perhaps less as common, is your ears. Much like a dog that perks up his ears when he hears something or is trying to hear something, we do the same thing. You may not notice it, but when you're in a quiet setting trying to hear something like footsteps, your ears might adjust their positioning just barely by working muscles to adjust to hear better. I'm guessing this is the same principal. Then again, some people don't need to squint, and some peoples ears don't twitch. It depends on the person and the way their body processes sensory items and the signals it sends back to that part of the body.
What do I have?- Headache, loss of appetite, stomach pain, weak, tired,.?
I woke up with a headache, and then I didn't want breakfast, but eat a little bit with juice. I felt even worst after, I fell like I may throw up, but I can't (I don't know how, :$) I have masive stomach pain,as if I'm giving birth. My eyes feel like they weight 30 million pounds, but, I had enough sleep. I fell very weak, I'm amazed I'm typing. Also, I have random pain,everywhere. I fell like theres needles pocking me. If this helps; Yesterday I eat regular. Felt bloated. Got a bit of a sun burn on my back. I am not on my period. I am drinking water. I am vegetarian, for 1 year and a half?, I think. but never felt like this.
Weak and tired, not hungry, dizzy, light headed?
For the past few months, i have been feeling really out of it. I am never really that hungry, always tired no matter how much i sleep, and sometimes after standing up i get VERY light headed. In general i just feel really out of it, its hard to describe....almost like im not even here, like im just stuck in my body watching life go by. All this started happening about a month before i broke up with my girlfriend of 14 months. But i have been over her and dont really even think about her. I have l lost about 10 pounds since february this year, and have been drinking weight gainer but it has done nothing. Also my stomach never really feels right, always slightly upset. I sometimes get very nauseous at random and hot and sweaty. I am a 20 year old male. Any ideas? Thanks
Is this tinnitus? I notice when I wear headphones that I hear a ringing noise or other noises, but I notice that the sound gets louder when I wear headphones.
Any ringing or tones you hear that are not actually sounds are tinnitus, technically. Headphones often have the ability to produce levels that can damage your hearing. If the headphones are amplifying electrical noise though, it may not be tinnitus.Get some cheap foam earplugs, and put them in your ears. If you hear the ringing you have tinnitus. I have it, but my experience has been that often times it is temporary. It is generally a good idea to protect your ears from loud noises so that you do not damage your hearing. Headphones, loud concerts, airplanes, and shooting guns are the thing to look out for. Always use ear protection. Loud slowly changing sounds are less damaging because your ear has build in protection, but quickly changing high frequency sounds, thing like gunshots and cymbal hits can be the most damaging.If you are concerned about your hearing, go see an audiologist and get tested. This is often covered by health insurance. You can also ask them to take molds for custom ear plugs, which if you want to go to concerts and shoot guns, I highly recommend. As much fun as it is to listen to music crazy loud (I know I did a lot of that when I was your age), you do need to recognize that there can be consequences.
Why do i hear my alarm clock ringing in my head?
