You may have fluid trapped in your inner ear. This happens quite often after a respiratory infection. When fluid is trapped in your inner ear it can cause dizziness and you can have diminished hearing. A pressure feeling would be caused by this fluid. I'm surprised that your doctor didn't look into this. You may need to be on antibiotics if the fluid has caused an infection.

Eurika. Dont take this the wrong way but I`m glad someone else is suffering the same symptoms that I have. I have been on medication for high blood pressure since I was around 40. I am now 71 years old. About 5 years ago I had a mini stroke. One legasy I was left with was tiredness in my legs which is worse in the winter.The other problems which are word for word the same as yours have developed over the last two to three years. The yawning and tiredness that can get that bad I have to sit down and close my eyes until it passes. I also have had all the blood tests for underactive thyroid etc. which came back as OK. After being taken to A&E by my wife who during one of my "turns" who thought I was having a ITA , an appointment was made for me to see the consultant I was under when I had the mini stroke. He suspected the cause was a thickening of a bone in my neck that now and again pressed on a gorroted artery restricting the flow of blood to my brain. I given a course of excersises by the hospital physiotherapist to make my neck less painfull. Made no difference to the amount of attacks. A year on, back to the doctors. Refered to a Neurolagist. Waiting time was so long we decided to pay. £300-00 for a twenty minute chat and some tests. One test was to stand facing the wall, feet together,eyes closed and arms stretched out in front of me.after a couple of seconds I fell backwards and he had to catch me. Sent me for a CT scan then another £100-00 for the neurolagist to tell me nothing was found other than what would be expected for my age. Throughout the last few years of explaining the symptoms to varios doctors etc: I have always had the feeling that they thought I was either making it up or I was a bloody nuisance. Best of luck. If you ever get it sorted please let me know.

hopefully it is a simple problem. I presume your doc checked your blood pressure? It could be from a problem there. It also could be from low blood sugar level or dehydration. Other causes may be sinusitis. All of these should be explored. I don't think it is a serious brain disorder, as you would have more serious symptoms by now. Good luck.

As long as you don't have small silver balls flying through the air when you see you should be ok (that is a berry annurism - spelled wrong I am sure). You would have got an emergency appointment if they think it is serious.

if the appointment is for a long time it usually means that its nothing sinister could be block sinus they can be very painful however go back to the doctors if the symptoms have not gone away and see if they can do anything else for you

Hopefully it is not a herniated blood vessel. Be sure to get an MRI.
