Im 34 yo, i have been on dialysis for about 6 years now ! its been ok u know as good as it gets, i had a dizzy spell at a shopping centre i couldnt find my feet , i managed to walk out thought i needed fresh air.

that night went home to do dialysis .i put myself on the machine and about half hour into it ,the room was feeling like it was sucking me in .so i quickly took myself off . next day i called the nephrology unit and told them what episode i had they told me to go in hospital, so i ended up in hospital the next day again same thing over spinning and so on but im not getting nuasea which is good . so the Doc. checks me out scans the works and everything is clear . sent me home the same day .

i cant go into shopping centres maybe its the movement i dont know , i cant even get around the block when i have this episode , some days im better i take my dog to the park for hours and i dont even get dizzy. its been going on for about 9 months now im desprite for help i have a neurologist booked it on jan ,and a balance test also its taking me this long because i have been too 3 specialist for this , two of them are saying ur ears are clear , one saying we should put tubes(grometts) in my ear , But my ears are draining i have no fluid or puss. im numb on the back of my left ear im guessing its nerve damage.the last week i have been pretty bad dizzy most the day and tightness on neck , has anyone else had the same symptoms ????
