Unexplained chronic dizziness, loss of vision, migrane, vertigo
I'm a 21 year old female, and I've been a migrane sufferer since childhood. In my early teens I developed dizzy spells where my vision would be disturbed by a wave of what looks like the static on a TV set only sparkley, I would get horribly dizzy, and start to tip over if I wasn't holding on to something. Ive had several tests run for blood pressue (the one where they take your pressure sitting standing and lying down.) and I had a spell right there in the office, and my blood pressure didn't seem to be effected by it, but the doctor did observe that during the visual disturbance my eyes would become dialated. I've also had so many blood tests it's not funny, and the only thing they came up with was a MINOR iron deficiancy that has since then been resolved. (daily suppliments) and I've also had an MRI, which told us nothing.
My doctor at the time pretty much told me it was all in my head and infered that I was seeking attention. I saw that doctor for quite some time, until I realized I didn't have to go to a doctor that was giving (in my personal opinion) sub-par care. (any doctor that fails to list two seperate allergies in a patient's file, TWICE, is giving sub-par care.)
What advice would you give a patient who has all of these symptoms, but all of the tests come back within the normal parameters?
(sorry for such a long post, by the way.)
