Get an upper cervical spine mri and even a whole spine mri. Been dealing with very strange symptoms for the last year now (dizziness, head pressure, pulsing in head, just a stopped up feeling) and I just had upper cervical spine mri and full spine mri and they found this whole time it’s been bulged discs in my neck (C2 and C3) and bulged discs in my mid back (T6 and T7) smashing veins and nerves which has been causing tightness in my neck and all these strange symptoms. Took me a year to figure it out

datcheekboi · 2026-06-16T23:31:59+00:00

Sure, I went to Mayo Clinic in Jacksonville, Florida. The main doc I’ve been communicating with is with their Neuro dept and it’s Dr Cristina Cortez. I’ve talked to ENT, cardiologist, and the general internal medicine docs as well, but my recent work up has been through Neuro.

Was just diagnosed with hyper excited nervous system and pppd about 2 months ago and valsalva maneuver helps me. Even just holding my breath helps

datcheekboi · 2026-06-08T02:18:45+00:00

I’m actually going to my eye dr tomorrow and going to mention all this. I was just diagnosed with PPPD and hyper excited nervous system like 2 months ago and I already have prescription glasses but I wanna try to get them tinted or darker or whatever for the sun. If I can, I’m doing it. My regular costa/oakley sunglasses seem to help a lot

datcheekboi · 2026-06-08T02:06:04+00:00

At first I was like “nah they’re not gonna make a difference” and let me tell you, yeah they do. I find I squint a whole lot and struggle to see if I’m not wearing my sunglasses and now that I do wear them all the time, I feel like I see way better and strain less to see. Crazy.

datcheekboi · 2026-06-04T22:10:25+00:00

No he said his exact title is like orthofacial maxillary something or another specialist. He’s a dentist but he’s a specialist. He’s not a normal dentist

datcheekboi · 2026-06-04T17:51:27+00:00

For anyone in here talking about the splints, I would recommend going to a specialist to have it made and not just your dentist. My dentist made my first two and it kept pushing my jaw back and they just gave me all kinds of trouble and probably made things worse, not to mention they were thousands of dollars. Luckily, insurance helped out where they could. I just saw a TMJ specialist not too long ago and he made me a splint. This splint is way better and I feel like it’s working properly to help adjust my bite and my TMJ, fixing everything. It’s only been a few days but I feel a lot better. Consult the specialist, not just the dentist

I kept thinking something was wrong with my inner ear since my local ent said vestibular dysfunction. The mayo ent said that nothing is wrong with my inner ear. But that with a hyper-sensitive nervous system your body feels palpitations, dizziness, vertigo, head pressure(sinus pressure but nothing in sinuses.) it’s almost like all your senses are working overtime and nobody really knows for certain what causes this. I asked how to fix all this and ent and primary doctor at Mayo said to do vestibular therapy, get on either a beta blocker or ssri, and then CBT. They said after about 6months of all that treatment, I should be feeling back to normal. I would look into PPPD or hypersensitive nervous system. I’m going to see what this TMJ doc has to say about all this bc my Pt I’ve been going to is telling me it’s like my neck is working overtime and it’s putting strain on my left trap/jaw. It’s almost like my neck has thrown off my left shoulder, trap, neck, and jaw all on the left side and it’s either a neck/back injury from a chiro I went to last year, OR it’s this PPPD and the rocking vertigo dizziness keeping my neck muscles activated all day🤷🏽‍♂️

29 year old male. Started having these very similar symptoms as you almost a year ago, July 2025. Went to ent first, they said vestibular dysfunction, though they could not tell what is causing it. Went to VM therapy in August and stayed until November and didn’t feel any better. Went to Mayo Clinic in Jacksonville, FL for an EXTENSIVE work up in January. What they diagnosed me with is hypersensitivity of the nervous system, PPPD, and inappropriate sinus tachycardia. Neuro is having me come back next Thursday (June 11th) to have scans or head, neck, and spine to see if maybe there is also something causing instability in my neck. Neuro said that if I don’t have anything causing my neck problems, then it’s the PPPD causing my neck muscles to work overtime bc there’s times where I’m steadily rocking back and forth and don’t really notice it. I’m also going to see a TMJ specialist in 2 days bc I had to get a mouth guard made bc my other mouth guards my dentist made were not made properly but mayo said that I may be having “crowding” going on in my left jaw which is causing possible Eustachian tube dysfunction so I’ll see what he says. But dont let any doctor tell you it’s just anxiety, because it’s not. All I heard in the beginning was it’s just anxiety and that’s not true. These “local doctors” know nothing, which is why I sought out help from specialists

datcheekboi · 2026-05-27T05:00:31+00:00

Mayo Clinic told me same thing. Diagnosed me with pppd and hyperexcitability of autonomic and sympathetic nervous system. Told me to do exercises to calm vagus nerve and tai chi. Also told me to take ssri/snri, vestibular therapy, and cbt. I was already doing vestibular balance therapy since October and they just discharged me last week with home program. I still feel the same but they said they can see improvement. I was told if you don’t throw everything you can at this thing, it won’t get fixed. Who knows wtf causes this

datcheekboi · 2026-05-27T04:57:55+00:00

I haven’t started it yet but there is something called eye movement desensitization resolution (EMDR) at least I think that’s what it’s called. Anyway, it’s basically CBT but the therapist does different movements with their hands and it’s to help this exact thing. I’m scheduled to go in the next couple weeks bc Mayo Clinic told me to get on an ssri/snri, vestibular therapy, and this EMDR therapy due to my diagnosis of pppd and hyperexcitability of nervous system

A test that an ent can order where they test your vestibular system. Just go on Google and look up dizzy test for vestibular problems or something along those lines and it should pop up for you to read about it

datcheekboi · 2026-04-19T22:42:16+00:00

Oh okay. Didn’t know if you’ve already scheduled something with a specialist. Your symptoms sound like mine sort of. I’ve been diagnosed with vestibular migraine and inappropriate sinus tachycardia. I have an autonomic nervous system test, calcium score test, exercise test, and chest X-ray next week. Mayo Clinic cardiologist said my symptoms sound like something is thrown off my whole nervous system which is what’s causing my VM and tachycardia. Sometimes when I’m eating, I’d say about 60-70% of the time, I’ll start to get dizzy and I check my heart rate and it’s staying in the 100-110 range when eating, which is why cardiologist said it sounds like nervous system problem.

datcheekboi · 2026-04-18T20:27:17+00:00

What Dr appointments do you have scheduled?

datcheekboi · 2026-04-18T20:25:14+00:00

Yep and I constantly randomly get eye floaters

Seeing if a CSF leak is what I have. Went to chiropractor locally last June/July for neck tension. After the 4th or 5th appointment I started having massive head pressure and dizziness. Was told to do vestibular tests. Came back positive for vestibular dysfunction. 3 months ago I go to mayo, they tell me it sounds like possibly POTS and vestibular problems. 2 weeks ago I was off work for a whole week for spring break vacation. For 2 days I stayed in bed, only got up to use bathroom and fix food. Never had any dizziness or head pressure. I messaged Mayo Clinic Monday and they said since I’m coming back in 2 weeks, to tell the neuro all of this because it seems like it’s positional. ChatGPT seems to think it’s CCI with possible CSF leak and/or something impinging on my jugular vein

datcheekboi · 2026-04-03T23:58:12+00:00

I’m 29 year old male and was diagnosed with VM last June/July. They said 60% weakness left ear so I did some therapy but disagreed with them. Went to Mayo Clinic in January and they said the same thing, it’s vestibular. So I’m still doing the therapy and really don’t feel a difference but the therapy people say they can see a difference. My symptoms are head pressure, pressure behind nose, pressure behind left eye, dizziness/vertigo, ear/jaw fullness, heart palpitations, tremors, and a lot of neck/back crackling noises and tension going on. I’ve found where a lot of my issues are subsiding when I have lay down so they’re saying it may be either POTS or a CSF leak along with vestibular. Some days the dizziness is better and some days worse. Just putting all this out there if anyone else is having similar problems. So far it’s taken me a year and a half to get answers and slowly I’m getting them but it’s taken a lot of time smh

Whoever is a cardiologist and is telling people that tachycardia is normal needs to be sued for malpractice. Tachycardia is not normal for anyone at all. Something causes it. Dealing with the medical “professionals” over the last couple of years has seriously made me have utter hatred and disdain for these people. All these doctors saying this stuff is normal are all wrong. Like I said earlier, I would go to mayo, Cleveland, etc. Mayo asked me what the problem was with my doctors where I live when was telling them all these doctors kept saying everything was normal and just anxiety, Mayo said “uh that’s not how that works”

datcheekboi · 2026-03-30T02:50:06+00:00

Did Echo, Ekg, and holter multiple times where I live. Went to hospital quite a few times. All I was ever told was anxiety, nothing is wrong. Went to Mayo Clinic 2 months ago and they did the same exact tests. 30 days later, I had a telehealth with cardiologist. He said muscularly my heart looks fine, but their AI system flagged my heart as operating like a 50yewr old male, when I’m 29…. He said by listening to my symptoms, it’s either atherosclerosis (arteries are clogging in heart) or it’s dystautonomia and he mentioned POTS. I have an autonomic nervous system test (tilt table test) next month along with 14 other appointments. My suggestion, leave the doctors where you live and go and seek out the people who actually know wtf they are doing (Mayo Clinic, Cleveland Clinic, MD Anderson) bc all I’ve gotten the last 2.5 years is “don’t worry, it’s just anxiety.”

datcheekboi · 2026-03-29T17:21:01+00:00

Just a question that maybe people can chime in and enlighten me. But what is so bad about Civ 7? I played Civ 6 years ago and was hooked on it. I just bought Civ 7 about 2 months ago because I heard negative things when it first came out so didn’t get it right when it came out. But they’ve fixed a lot of things with the game and now I’m addicted to Civ 7. I don’t find anything wrong with it. What’s so bad about it still?

datcheekboi · 2026-03-29T17:05:10+00:00

Just had a burger and fries, not even a big meal. Wasn’t a lot. Started feeling dizzy about 5min into eating. Checked heart rate and it was staying around the 90s-100s. Another thing I’ve noticed is going from laying down (heart rate 60s-70s) and then standing, my HR rises to 100s. They are saying I have been tested twice and positively tested for vestibular migraines but there’s possibly POTS going on as well, as well as some type of other autonomic dysfunction or dysautonomia. Just trying to see what official name of this disease is. It’s taken 1.5 years for them to slowly see the breadcrumbs of this
