In an effort to try and figure out why I am having so much vertigo like symptoms a family member has suggested that I may be having migraines.

Just a little backround info. About 2 months ago I started getting physically sick while driving and having intermitant decrease of vision. Any hills, turns or sun would make me vomit, what a fun ride. I do get a burning, tingling sensation in my ears and head before and occasionally when I get dizzy. I saw the family doctor who gave me Scopolamine patches and a referral to the ENT and eye doctor. The ENT doctor examined me and had a hearing test done which showed asymetric hearing loss. They sent me for an MRI to rule out an acoustic neuroma. This was all fine. The eye examine was fine, no cause for my occasionally blurry vision. I am waiting for an appointment for a balance exam from the ENT.

I do wear a duragesic patch for chronic back pain, but symptoms have not changed since this was started. I have had my sugar, blood pressure checked many different times and all is well too.

My mother said she has a friend that has migraines without the distinct head pain, anyone else have something like this? I would love to get to the bottom of this. My kids dont understand why sometimes we need to change plans at the last minute because this can come on so fast. When we do go out I am always worried it will hit at any momment, keeping the car freezing helps a bit, but not always.

Any suggestions or experiences would be appreciated. I would love to be able to ask the doctor about other reasons for feeling like this.

Thank you,
Michelle
