What Causes Chronic Dizziness, Pressure In Head And Intermittent Chest Tightness?
Dr. Rynne, I wondered if you could help me with the following issue. I have suffered from dizzyness for years. Not vertigo, just a sensation of pressure in my head, associated wtih a sensation of not quite being coordinated and not htinking clearly. I don t feel like I will fall, just that I am unstable. SOme times there is some chest tinghtness like I am panicking, and sometiems I get shakey. It comes and goes.. sometimes bad enough for me to need to lie down. I have found eliminating some foods seemed to help at least temporarily (milk and then egg). More recently I found taking an antiparasite (over the counter) seemed to eliminate the sensation dramatically for about 1 week. Later it returned following a very acidic salad (drenched in lemon juice). I wondered if it could be a reaction to reflux or something else? Thanks in advance. Chris
HI I really appreciate your concern, with the some associated and unknown factor such food may cause the acid reflux disease and infection, anxiety, depression, these need to be ruled out, and reflux symptoms need to be treated with PPI hope this is helps, take care and have a nice day.
