Yesterday I went to the ER on the recommendation of two doctors who thought several symptoms I’ve been experiencing for two weeks may have been brought on by a possible stroke or something just as scary.

A CT Angiogram and MRI were done and both came out clear. The only findings on the MRI was a reversal in the C4 vertebrae and a cyst in the right maxillary sinus. 

For two weeks I’ve been having neck pain, dizziness, tender spots on my scalp, pain at the base of my neck and constant tinnitus and dizziness. The ER doctor thinks I may have Ménière’s disease, because he can’t figure out why I’m having symptoms. It all started when there was a weird rush that went through the right side of my head and a bit later a mild headache started, then the rest of the symptoms followed. The head rush didn’t cause any stroke symptoms, just a weird feeling over my head.

I’m anxious that the radiologist missed something in both of the tests and even if he didn’t, I feel like I’m left with the possibility that this occurred due to some type of migraine, a simple partial seizure or occipital neuralgia or something is really wrong with my neck.
