Question: I saw my GP on Tuesday. I was diagnosed with labrynthitis and URI possibly sinusitis I am unsure which one. On Thursday I felt very well and was sure I was on the right track to recovery. However, I had a brief period Friday morning that was high stress and high activity. Friday afternoon I developed very bad vertigo type symptoms and became extremely fatigued. All I have really wanted to do is sleep the last two days. My vertigo symptoms has gotten slightly better. However they are still present. Most concerning is I have aches and pains in my arms left side is worse. It does not necessarily feel weak but it feels sore as if I reecently worked out. I also have this feeling on my right side but the left arm feels this way all the way through my hand. I do not think it has lost any dexterity. However, I have also had facial tingling for maybe three weeks now as my vertigo type symptoms slowly got worse. I have a history of hsv-1 outbreak along my trigeminal nerve. The tingling comes and goes and seems more prevalent with the vertigo symptoms. What is your opinion on the accuracy of the labrynthitis diagnosis? I am admittedly very scared as I have never felt like this before and there seem to be a many diagnoses that are far worse. The most concerning symptom is the tingling and fatigue. If you could explain this ot would be most appreciated.
thank you!

Thank you for your response. I may not have been clear in explaining, but I havent worked out nearly a week. However, my shoulders and arms feel very fatigued as if I had worked out. This fatigue is worse on the left side where my facial numbness is. Also, I am not currently having an hsv-1 outbreak. I simply have a history of these outbreaks and take valocycloviras a suppression therapy. I have not had an outbreak since july. Do you still believe all my symptoms are merely related to the URI and labrynthitis? Lastly, my tingling and mild numbness is intermittent and comes and goes. But as you said, originates from my sinuses where I feel heavy pressure.

Thank you again!
