I don't know what is going on with me. I have been dizzy for pretty much the past two weeks or so. One day I was just driving along with my girls, going to meet my sis and her kids to go sledding. And then, BAM! I was hit with a wave of dizziness so bad that I thought I was going to pass out. I didn't, and was able to pull my car over to the side of the road. But it scared the shi$ out of me just the same.
My heart was pounding and racing, my hands shaking like crazy.
I went to the doctor about two days after that. He took blood and ordered some other tests. That was two weeks ago and I haven't heard anything. Annoying. I know that no news is probably good news. I would be okay with believing that, if I weren't still dizzy and now starting to have a little nausea on top of it.
I don't know if I am just really stressed out and not fully aware of that fact, or if there really is something going on. My symptoms are not severe, but they are just enough to let me know that they are there. Enough to annoy me and make me crabby with the girls. Which I hate.
I have no energy to do anything. I'm nervous every time I drive. I'm crabby(er than usual).
Maybe it is possible that staying at home really is slowly killing me!

It sounds like your doctor sucks. I hate it when they don't get back to me. Have you considered an inner ear infection? They can be completely painless, but make you dizzy as hell. A google search on it should turn up lots of info. In the meantime, be careful driving!
My first thought was the same as newduck's, but my second thought involved peeing on a stick.

Yeah, I thought about that too. But, I'm not pregnant. The bloodwork showed that, I guess. I went back today and he ordered up some test that measures adrenal function and also an MRI. But, being the freak I am, I said I wasn't sure I wanted an MRI. Then he referred me to a neurologist. So I called them and they can't get me in until the end of March. Not really helpful right now! So I guess I'll call the doctor back and take him up on his MRI offer.
Wow--I was going to go with the pee on a stick theory. Guess I'm a little late. Do you consume a lot (any) artificial sweeteners like aspartame (phenylalanine) or nutrasweet? Gum, soda, sugar-free anything? They've been known to cause symptoms like you describe. Maybe the MRI would give you peace of mind until the cause can be figured out.
