I saw my primary care doctor yesterday. The ultrasounds of my kidneys and bladder along with the tilt table test came back normal. She did order different blood test to check, for several things including the amount of the migraine medication I'm on because it's not helping. If the right amount of this medication in my blood, she said we just need to give it some more time.If the isn't the right amount we may have to try a different medication. At least keep me on it until I am able to see the neurologist she is referring me to for the migraines and for the nervous system issues that we know I have.
She believes that the vertigo is being caused by the fluid in my ears, she put me a nasal inhaler to hopefully clear them out. If after another month or two if we haven't any progress she is going to put me on steroids for it. She said she wouldn't be surprised if we get that fluid out, the nausea I have to deal with on a daily basis could decrease some but we will wait and see.
My primary care doctor has some ideas for a couple tests and medications that might be helpful.Since I seem to be getting worse instead of better she is thinking probably the best thing for me would be to go to the Mayo Clinic or Cleveland Clinic.
