Yeah, I thought that could be a factor, and maybe the new job too depending on what it entails.

The OP doesn't need a specialist to eliminate the possibility of dehydration or electrolyte imbalance. If it's not that, then schedule an appointment.

See a Dr.



My mom had mild symptoms like you describe. Ignored it for a year until one day she just started falling over as cancer ate her brain. If she had seen a Dr even 6 months prior she would have survived its suspected.


go see a Dr.

Thanks for the replies. @greywar, I don't have money for a Dr or insurance, but will look at prices for a brain scan .

Thinking of it now, I did start drinking alot more caffeine when I started . The first week I was pretty tired in the 1st shift schedule. I'll grab a Gatorade or similar and see what happens.

I can see that as an after effect. I've never been tested , but never had any actual symptoms ever since it started in March.

Remember the old saying "When you hear hoofbeats think horses, not zebras."

A local health services clinic could examine your ears for a possible infection OP. A short course of antibiotics would be a reasonable first step. No brain scan necessary.

A brain scan is not just a brain scan, you have to pay for the doctor to read that scan. If you have no insurance and no money, that would be a problem. Parnassia has a better choice for the money that you do have.

If you are diagnosed with a mild vertigo, then that Dr. Joe video I posted should help you like it did me.

"Vertigo?"

"Felt head pressure?"

Hmmmm, this doesn't sound good...

Could be blood pressure, heart related too, (especially with the dizziness).
