Coping With Vertigo

My name is Jessica, I am 26 years old. This all started when i was 13, I started feeling a flutter in my heart, I had it checked out and was diagnosed with Mitrovaulve prolapse.

At the age of 21 I got very sick and I was put on the z pack. It was right after this that I started passing out, I spent months doing tests, studing for tests in the hospital. I was diagnosed with Syncope. At the age of 25 I started getting sick EVERY month I had a cough that wouldn’t go away and a post nasal drip. I was told i have a growth in my right lung and was checked for TB six times. I was told it was a growth and they wanted to do more tests but i didn’t have the money. I was then told I have a diavated septum and that is why I had so much trouble with a post nasal drip.

About 9 months ago I started waking up in the middle of the night with my heart racing and my whole body in a sweat. I had a chest MRI heart monitor,etc. I woke up one night with horrible chest pains that wouldn’t go away, My mother took me to the hospital and all they found was RBBB. They put me a on a beta blocker and left it at that. On June 28th of this year I went for a stress test, when I went to stand up the whole room felt like it was moving. I haven’t been able to drive or work since. I have been to the Cardiologist Ear specialist, family dr., Hershey Medical, nuerologist, etc and no one can figure it out. They did a test on my ear and found that it is damaged and last week I did a table test which i failed misserably. I can’t even stand up stright.

I have had 2 MRI’s, CAT scans, 2 visits to the hospital when no one else could figure it out, Chest x rays, blood tests, etc. My husband was layed off and we lost our insurance so I am fighting with my dr. about all these tests. He dosen’t know wha tis wrong , no one does, I am out of money and i am tired of the nausea and vertigo The physical therapist was doing eye exercises with me and told me I am the worst case she ever saw and told me it was pointless to come back.

My dr. could care less what is going on, how much money it costs, or what it means for my husband and I . Every time I go to see him I have to tell him my name and my symptoms as if we never met before. He even forgets which tests he already did. Two months ago I noticed a rash on my chest so I got tested for Lyme disease and that came back negative. I am tired of all this… everyone wants to send me to a different dr. Heart dr. to the nuerologist, nuerologist to Hershey, hershey to the hospital, hospital to the cardiologist then to the ear dr. etc. I JUST WANT ANSWERS!
