Hello. I am a 40 year old woman and have been suffering with severe dizziness for 3 years now. I have other health issue's but not connected with this. I do not take any medications. I have seen a balance expert, he thought it may be BPV, had MRI of neck and brain = all ok. Had a neck xray - showed military neck (perfectly straight neck). But nothing else. I have seen two physiotherapist, no help. I have mentioned Sternocleidmastoid syndrome and they have never heard of it. My symptoms are many: Dizziness, blurred vision occasionally, watery eye's at times. Nystagmus. Tinnitus. Jaw, neck, upper chest, shoulder, neck, arm pain. Tingling in hands, normally left. I have had my heart checked = ok and my bp is normal, mostly on the low side. I also have this weird 'cutting off' sensation when moving my head, neck and this sometimes wakes me up at night. This is very scary as i feel like i will collapse. I also have hot/cold sensations in the back of my neck at times. I can cope with pain but the dizziness is so severe i just want to sit in a chair and not move. When i do move i am off balance, have walked into doors/frames and walls. My eyes feel like they are rolling round in my head most of the time. I loved reading but sometimes i can't do it as moving my eyes to read makes the dizziness worse! I can't exercise as i am so unsteady and i now can only work 16 hours a week because of it. It has made me have depression and anxiety and also have panic attacks and i feel so tired and listless all the time. I have had my bloods done and all clear! I just don't know where else to turn and never want to get up in the morning as i know as soon as i do, IT STARTS! I am also getting severe muscle pains - arms, shoulders and legs. If i do something repeatitive they feel like they are stuck and warm and ache.Can amyone please help me?
