Hi all,

First time posting anything like this but I am beyond worried. Last december I went to the doctors because I was feeling constantly dizzy and sick. I was put on 7 or 8 different lots of medication over the months from Vertigo tablets to Anxiety tablets. Nothing was helping me but nothing was getting worse. The dizziness has stopped me doing my daily activities as I just want to go to sleep all of the time, because when im sleeping I dont feel anything.

I keep going back to the doctors and here is what they have done so far, tested for Diabetes and a thyroid problem. Both results came back clear. I have had a full eye test not only for vision but for general eye health as well and the only thing was the veins at the back of my eyeball were more curvy than normal but that could just be my eye. They werent worried about it. I have had a hearing test followed by a visit to the ears, nose and throat department at the hospital and everything there was fine. I've had my ears microsuctioned to clear them of wax and so far that's everything. 

I have expressed my worry to the ENT specialist who offered to refer me for an MRI as a family member passed away from a brain tumor last year. I am really worried my time is almost up, I have two young children and another due any day now and the thought of not being there for them is the worst feeling ever. Every doctor I have seen so far, and there has been quite a few of them, has treated the situation as if I am being stupid and there is no way I could have a brain tumor which sort of fills me with hope but on the same hand the only symptom my family member had was dizziness and he died within 4 months of being diagnosed.

It's been 1 month since I was told I would be referred for an MRI and I am still waiting for that letter despite ringing every man and his dog countless times to try and move things along. My question is, am I being paranoid? or is my worry justified given that my symptoms havent changed in almost a year?

Thanks for reading
