I haven't. Who can check that? Do I need a specialist, or can I mention it to any of my doctors?

Some ear Doctors do VNG's, I was lucky enough to have one near me that did, but he suggested sending me to have more advanced testing done. But if your ear is bothering you, I would see an ear doctor or ENT just to make sure all is good there. A VNG tests my neurologist has given me with my migraines and my concussion to see if maybe the problem was coming from my ears or eyes and not my brain. You can google it there are videos that show what they do.

Yes, definitely get your ears/eyes checked.

After my concussion I was told there was something wrong with my right eye...can't remember medical term...I went to OT which helped, and also vestibular therapy, had severe head pressure and pain, was explained to me that everything is connected.

I'd talk to your Dr about seeing maybe an OT or ENT for testing? It was an OT who found my problem.

I also had severe head pressure, mostly on the top of my head, it felt like my brain was swelling.

Don't know if you'll need a referral from your Dr to see a specialist but with my insurance I have to.

Feel better...
