Guest guest Posted June 24, 2007 Report Share Posted June 24, 2007 I hope this is true about the migraines going away once PA is controlled. I had terrible headaches almost every day in March this year. April and May were not as bad but now I am getting the same symptoms again. I have a headache in my right eye and a sinus pressure feeling. Is PMS worse when you have PA? I have a list of questions for my next doctor's appointment. As far as dizzy, I get that when I haven't eaten in awhile. > > Migraine will likely go away when PA controlled. > > > > May your pressure be low! > > Clarence E.

Guest guest Posted October 20, 2007 Report Share Posted October 20, 2007 Hi , In times like these, when I don't get enough food down, I get very dizzy and/or light headed often. Last Thursday my trainer prevented me from fainting by pushing my head between my legs when I sat down. I only have these problems in times food goes down badly. Once I had my sugar checked and the level was pretty low, thus explaining my bad feeling. It is a fact that I am not a diabetic, it's also a fact that I am an achalasian. That goes for you too...

Guest guest Posted November 19, 2007 Report Share Posted November 19, 2007 Some of you may disagree with this, but whenever I get the dizzies I get to the chiropractor immediately!!!! My neck is always out of adjustment and it helps afterwards, especially if I then go to bed and take a nap to keep the muscles relaxed. I have usually been overdoing it and my muscles are tense, loads of stress going on around our house with son hooked on marijuana and father-in-law's cancer returning and taking care of him, hubby's work stress ongoing. Try it, it works for me. My chiro says he has people come in all the time who've been to many docs, on many meds and just needed one adjustment...need I say more? in La Selva Beach CA carmenmontaner wrote: > > I don´t take anything for dizness.

Guest guest Posted November 19, 2007 Report Share Posted November 19, 2007 Hi I tried chiro for this...didn't work for " me " . Makes sense how ot would work if something is not aligned. For " me " it is inner ear crystals floating that they say might be from a virus or car accident. I was never in a car accident so probably a virus. -------------- Original message from & Schmidt <schmidtmba@...>: -------------- Some of you may disagree with this, but whenever I get the dizzies I get to the chiropractor immediately!!!!

Take a look at: Swallow syncope in association with Schatzki ring and hypertensive esophageal peristalsis: report of three cases and review of the literature. http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/sites/entrez?term=16633871 & cmd=search & db=pubmed Swallow syncope, which results in fainting or dizziness (syncope) after swallowing, can be a type of vasovagal syncope, which is named for the interaction of the blood supply and the vagus nerve. Vasovagal syncope can also be triggered by pain. The vagus nerve is the main nerve connecting the brain with the esophagus. It also goes to other organs including the heart. The dizziness could also be unrelated to any esophageal problem, so you need to rule out other things and not just assume it is related. > ...

Either of these could cause a lot of pain and nutcracker was in that article above. notan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 7, 2008 Report Share Posted January 7, 2008 Wow.... dizziness Hi all, I woke the other night and I felt like the world was spinning, it was quite freaky. It is has happened again several times over the last few days. It seems that if I do anything that puts pressure on the back of my neck, ie if I tilt my head back and look straight up, or if I lie down on my back, or if I'm lying on my side and stretch lengthways and arch my back and neck, then the dizziness/crazy spinning world symptom happens. Have any of you experienced this? My hyperT is only kinda under control at the moment, I haven't had a blood test for a couple of months. But I notice that my heart rate is going high quite easily, so I'm assuming that I'm still hyperT. I wonder if a neck problem could cause the dizziness? I have had neck problems for most of my life, and my neck is quite stiff at the moment. Any feedback would be most appreciated, thanks heaps, ________________________________________________________________________ More new features than ever.

Guest guest Posted January 7, 2008 Report Share Posted January 7, 2008 OOPs! Accidentally sent --hit wrong button..sory, Sooooo....Wow, it must have been a busy weekend for most of us. LOL! , I would lean to your neck giving you the dizziness problems. I have not had neck problems per sey, but I have had my neck adjusted by a chiropractor before and know it can cause some funky stuff when something is out of alignment. If that is your case, maybe you have something pinching a nerve? I would check the neck issue out first. I haven't had dizziness from my hyperT. From my adrenal fatigue? Yes. But that was when I got up from a sitting position(even slowly) or from doing too much. Not specific to onset of dizziness from performing a specific physical function.

Guest guest Posted January 7, 2008 Report Share Posted January 7, 2008 Hi anna I had a similar experience. The doc called it vertigo.

Guest guest Posted January 8, 2008 Report Share Posted January 8, 2008 Hi Did you check with your doc? There is a med that sometimes helps... I had to stay off work and couldn't have considered doing exercises. Do be careful that you don't fall and hit your head... Kate dizziness Thanks for your replies, Kate & Kim. It is so reassuring to know that others have experienced something similar. I had the dizziness/vertigo again last night, so much so that I couldn't sleep so I got up and went on the internet looking for info. I found two really interesting websites: http://www.dizzyfix.com/aboutdizzyfix.asp?sid= This is a website which sells a device which helps with dizziness, and although I'm not planning on buying the dizzyfix, I found lots of useful info on this website. http://www.healthsourcechiropractic.com/documentation/dizziness.htm This website has exercises to help deal with dizziness. You would have laughed if you could have seen me at 1 am doing exercises, standing on one foot while swinging the other foot backwards and fowards while holding one hand out in front of me! It seemed to help though, so I'm planning to keep doing the exercises and hope they are the answer. It is also quite possible that my neck is out of alignment, so I'll go to the chiropractor if the exercises don't fix the problem.

Guest guest Posted January 13, 2008 Report Share Posted January 13, 2008 I've never had vertigo, but from what I've read, niacin helps with the disease. I've also read that B6 can help. Many years ago, my sister had a severe dizziness from inner ear problems. I got her to take niacin and the dizziness stopped within a few days. Because niacin is an important nutrient for correcting hyperT, I would recommend trying it to see if it helps. **************Start the year off right.

Guest guest Posted December 14, 2008 Report Share Posted December 14, 2008 , My kids and I use to have a lot of Post Nasal Drip from Feb until the first freeze. This all stopped when I started spraying a product in our noses called " Neutralizer " . Our issues were due to seasonal allergies. Not sure why you are having the drainage, but this is what faithfully works for us. I buy a bottle of saline nose spray @ the local pharmacy, dump the ingredients down the sink, rinse it and fill it with the Neutralizer. Then, depending on the severity of the PND, I use it either once daily (when I have everything under control) or several times a day, if a cold sets in. This will open any clogged noses too. It's not addicting, organic and safe to guzzle straight from the bottle (thinking as a mom here). Some HF stores may carry it, but I typically have to order it online from www.life-enthusiast.com. It's made by " Miracle II " . Get the liquid version, not the gel. Great for sore throats & indigestion too. IF you have a sinus infection, sniffing it up while you spray it is NOT recommended unless you can tolerate a good, short burn. However, doing that HAS cleared several sinus infections quickly. For a quicker heal, I have also been known to add a few drops of the " Magic Oil " to my nasal spray bottle. Serious burn will occur (lasting less than 1 minute) as it's cleansing the infection. Using this mix only required 2 sprays in each nostril the last few times I've done it. When I mix these ingredients, I use a 1.5fl oz spray bottle (empty and rinsed), I add no more than 1/8 teaspoon of Magic Oil to the bottle and then fill the rest with the Neutralizer liquid. Shake & spray. This is just what I personally use. I came up with this mix on my own, not recommended to me by anyone. I also do not use this mix on my kids. It's just too strong for them. For my kids, I just use the neutralizer, tell them NOT to sniff and then address any infection with garlic supplements. Slower method, but it's effective. The Magic oil can be obtained from the same website. It's just concentrated Magnesium. Daily use of the " Vertigo Support " oil blend from www.naturedinventory.com may help too. But if you notice this when you have drainage, I would try the spray first. > > Woke up with the world spinning at 3 in the morning - yuk!

Guest guest Posted July 6, 2009 Report Share Posted July 6, 2009 Josie: Do you also get mettalic taste in your mouth? I found some things that have me on my feet doing pretty good as long as I stay on them and watch my diet, but I take gobs of things. Modifilan, ginger root, broccoli sprout capsules, and turmeric are my stabilizers, and then I take herbs to kill things and boost immunity (elderberry, grapefruit seed extract, samento, resveratrol, licorice root, etc.). I am not on antibiotics, so I would be concerned about mixing them in that they may make the antibiotic not work as good by treating it as a toxin and removing it. But, if you are on antibiotics, tell your doctor you need things to help with die-off symptoms, liver support, etc. Love and prayers, Heidi N I think it is the most bothersome symptom. The slightest movement of this chair makes me feel as if I am tumbling thru space. I can lie motionless in bed and feel as if I am free falling backwards, as if I were lying on my back in an elevator that was plunging downward. Turning my head can make me feel as if I am going to black out. Because I live alone, I fear doing that, falling and hitting my head. It could be days before I was found. Some days I have to hang on to the walls in order to get around my home. Josie **************Looking for love this summer? Find it now on AOL Personals.

Guest guest Posted July 23, 2009 Report Share Posted July 23, 2009 Even though I had my last surgery around 13 years ago I still have things that set me off I even feel like I am going to black out. If u see my story u will see I have been through pretty much all of it. I cant handle flashing lights, dicco lights, moving my head from side to side to quickly, scrolling down a page on the computer fast. Often watching tv when they show these ads with things that move very fast then I have to close my eyes. Going round a circular part of the motorway. This is all caused by damage to my vestibula the main balance organ mine was seriously damaged in one of my major ops. And last but least i do not go to the fun fair, only went once and learnt the hard way. I battled with terrible black outs and vertigo for 2 years after my op I had when I was 18. thankfully it sorted itself out. deborah aitken wrote: > > > Im only at week 5 post surgery and the dizzines is getting better but > evry now and then I forget to take it slow and bam it hits ...can be > very scary at times , hoping it improves with the exercises given to > me by my surgeon. > > > cholesteatoma > > From: mela.crane@... > > Date: Mon, 20 Jul 2009 16:47:45 +0200 > > Subject: Re: dizziness > > > > I had my last surgery a really major one about 13 years ago and to this > > day I cant take things like disco light or flashing lights they make me > > so dizzy i feel like i am going to blackout.

Guest guest Posted July 25, 2009 Report Share Posted July 25, 2009 Even though I had my last surgery around 13 years ago I still have things that set me off I even feel like I am going to black out. If u see my story u will see I have been through pretty much all of it. I cant handle flashing lights, dicco lights, moving my head from side to side to quickly, scrolling down a page on the computer fast. Often watching tv when they show these ads with things that move very fast then I have to close my eyes. Going round a circular part of the motorway. This is all caused by damage to my vestibula the main balance organ mine was seriously damaged in one of my major ops. And last but least i do not go to the fun fair, only went once and learnt the hard way. I battled with terrible black outs and vertigo for 2 years after my op I had when I was 18. thankfully it sorted itself out. deborah aitken wrote: > > > Im only at week 5 post surgery and the dizzines is getting better but > evry now and then I forget to take it slow and bam it hits ...can be > very scary at times , hoping it improves with the exercises given to > me by my surgeon. > > > cholesteatoma > > From: mela.crane@... > > Date: Mon, 20 Jul 2009 16:47:45 +0200 > > Subject: Re: dizziness > > > > I had my last surgery a really major one about 13 years ago and to this > > day I cant take things like disco light or flashing lights they make me > > so dizzy i feel like i am going to blackout.

Guest guest Posted December 8, 2009 Report Share Posted December 8, 2009 I would very very strongly advise you to see another ENT Doctor - ideally a neurologist or otolaryngologist for a second opinion. People always say ring ahead and see how many surgeries the doctor has done on cholesteatomas Good luck, sorry I cannot help further.
