Need someone to talk to.

Hi 

I am a usually fit and healthy 35 year old female. 

I had covid late March. I didn't suffer so bad. Just had the usual symptoms and dizzy spells. 

1 week after recocery, I suffered a headache, which after a few days of some nausea accompanied with ear pain disappeared. It later turned out I had tonsillitis. This cleared up with antibiotics. 

However, a week later on Sunday the headache returned. It wasn't excrutiating in any way, but I could feel a pain at the top of my head. I haven't had to take much pain relief for these headaches. This pain comes and goes. Accompanied with this is the feeling of imbalance and disorientation. My ears have ached at times. At times I just don't feel like myself.

I have been to the docs and they said it sounded like vertigo. My blood pressure has been high 150/86 and low is 132 etc. I have had tingling sensations in my head, arms and legs. Most have been on my right side but some on my left. 

My vision is fine and has been recently checked by opticians. My bloods are being checked too. 

I'm unsure and I'm just wondering if this sounds like something I should go back to the doctors for?  Or am I being anxious? 

I'm worried but I don't want to over worry as it is seeming to effect my blood pressure. 

Any talk will be helpful as I'm feeling pretty scared and lonely.

  • Hi. I have no particular insight here, but seeing the title of the thread, I had to respond. Generally, if you are concerned, it's a good idea to have your doctor check things out. That doesn't mean this is likely to be anything serious. It probably isn't. It's possible it could even be caused by your blood pressure? But you have nothing to lose by getting it checked out and it will probably give you some reassurance.

  • Thanks for replying. I'm feeling so scared and ill with worry. 

    Google definitely doesn't help. But, I've got 2 girls at home that I desperately love more than anything and want to know what's going on with me. 

    The *** sensations in both my legs and in one arm have come about since being at the doctors last week. Not even aware if blood pressure can do this? 

    The doctor seems to think I have vertigo and has told me to blow my ears. I've done this several times and it has worked in that I don't feel constantly funny now. 

    Just don't know what I can do so I can eliminate the possibility of a tumour in my brain or something. The only route seems an mri. I don't think they will consider doing this for me.
