What Causes Loss Of Vision, Dizziness, Lack Of Coordination And Migraines?

Hi,

I'm a 16 year old male born and living in Egypt.
I've been having symptoms for over a year now and no doctor here seem to know what I have.

My symptoms are:
Vision loss in both eyes for 5 secs or so (happens upon standing up only) - Dizziness and loss of coordination (during the vision loss) - Migraines (it happens every now and then, I get pain in my eyes when looking left or right) - Joint pain (wrists and knees) - Hearing problems (sometimes I hear my own heart beat after exercise, not sure if this is normal) - Numbing ( My leg gets numb a lot).

The tests I did are:
Blood tests: CBC, Blood sugar level, ESR
Head CT scan, EEG
ECG, Echo, And I got my Blood Pressure measured while sitting down, standing up and while getting up.
All the tests were normal.

One of the doctors I went to said it could be Idiopathic Intracranial Hypertension and that the only test for it is a Lumbar Puncture. I just wanted to ask doctors here if the doctors I went to missed any test.
All answers for my case are very appreciated!

Thanks in advance,
Mohamed Shahawy
