I have been having brief episodes of vertigo since November. these occur for about 2-3 minutes where I have room spinning dizziness followed by ringing/ocean like roaring in my left ear only, which also lasts about 2 min. I have had about 10 episodes total, with 7 happening while I've been running. The others have been while I was standing or walking around. They don't happen with specific change of position. I don't feel sick during the episodes. I don't have any hearing loss either. I have also been having very short frequent headaches that happen all over my head, for only a few seconds at a time. I had an MRI in DEc. of my whole brain that was all clear, and also showed that there was no tumor in my inner ear.
Hi, Thank you for posting your query. Possible diagnosis in your case include vertiginous epilepsy. Headache can also be a manifestation of seizures.
Normal MRI of brain is a good news. Investigations that can help you in further diagnosis are PET-CT brain and EEG. Please get back if you require any additional information.
