take her to a dr that specializes in the ear... like an ear nose and throat doctor \nvertigo is usually results from a problem in the inner ear

That's not a normal thing, you shouldn't be getting dizzy like that!  I highly doubt it is cancer, it's more likely blood pressure related, has the doctor checked that out?  Also ear problems are big problems in making people dizzy, fluid in the middle or inner ear, Menierres not sure how to spell that, can make you have dizzy attacks as well.  Do you have sinus problems or allergies?  do you swim much?  You need to go back to the doctor or find another one that will listen to you, and check things out but you'd have much more symptoms than dizzyness from cancer.  I have a friend who's hubby has lung and brain cancer.  He has times when he can move because his head hurts so bad, blurred vision, nausea, light hurts his eyes, and so on.

Take her for a full health checkup.\nI am sure the doctor will let you know of the ways you can treat her.\nIts better to ask a doctor than to ask people here

It sounds that she might have persecutory delusions, or paranoia. Which is usually a sign of serious mental illness. You need to take her to a Psychiatrist.

You need to find a very good neurologist who understands children. She probably will need medication to avoid seizures.  I suspect the doctor will tell you that she stands a good chance to lead a good normal life if she is treated correctly. Good luck.

Dear Crystal***\n\nI have very low blood pressure, anaemia  and before anyone says eat this and eat that, I have always had low blood pressure, anaemia and constantly (seasonal), have sinus attacks.. So much so I had to have x2 operations to clear the right and the left sinus passages.  etc, etc.\n\nI have always had to take iron tablets, which combat the dizzy and tired feelings.  The minute I do not take the tablets, and monthly vitamin B injections, I start the dizzy / tired feelings again.  \n\nBy the way, are you a small lady.  I am 41kg and 5ft3".  Small lady's are most likely to suffer from low blood pressure.  You must also take an extremely good vitamin tablet and caltrate plus for your bones etc.  DAILY.\n\nand,  having sinusitus (chronic) leaves you feeling "drunk", lightheaded, because of all the congestion.  Big worry is when your nose (the gooeeeeeyyyy stuff inside) cannot be "blown" out.\nYou need to get homeopathic drops to be taken daily, called Sambuccus Comp. Drops "Weleda".  I don"t know if you can get this where you are.  I use it daily.   It definately relieves your sinus, and relieves the dizzy, vertigo feeling.  If it does not you must be referred to an ear, nose and throat specialist by your doctor.\nlove peppa-anne\n**p.s.  do try vit. B and iron tab's.

that is one thing you cannot do,i know i had it bad,to the point a doctor told me i had a brain tumor.when what i thought was causing the problem,was the problem.i had dizziness so bad i would vomit like crazy.anyway go see a ear,nose&throat doctor.let him/her check your ears out.if you have a hole in your ear drum,with fluid back behind it, that will cause it ,a big cause of dizzeness,vertigo is something is wrong with the inner ear.the inner ear has small tubes in them that contains fluid in them,we are born with it.thats where we get our balance from.when something bothers it,like infection,it causes vertigo.

yes, my daughter has suffered with this since she was 6, for 7 years medication controlled the seizures, and for the last 3, for no apparent reason, the medication has lost much of it's effectiveness, even though she has been on several. she has had 3 mri's, a pet scan, and ct's, which all show nothing abnormal. however, the eeg, and video eeg all show a right side focus, but cannot pinpoint where or why it happens. it could be something organic in her brain to begin with, or possibly hereditary, as my niece has also had seizures. it can be very frustrating when there is no apparent reason for the seizures, be it something organic or an injury. i'm sure by now you have seen a neurologist, and if it is an ongoing thing, i would discuss medication with him, and the medication is effective in 98% of people with epilepsy. good luck, the best thing is to be there for her, and help her through this.

wow, dizziness or vertigo can have many causes from inner ear problems to sinus problems to nerve or brain abnormalities not to mention heart related causes...i think it is imperative you see a doc.....

It sounds like it may be migraine associated dizziness. It is not uncommon for people who have migraines to experience dizziness along with them.

It sounds like you need to get her to a doctor, if she isn't already seeing one.  If she won't listen to you, get the help of an older relative that she trusts.

Actually, an ear, nose & throat (ENT) specialist, preferably an otologist or neurotologist (not to be confused with a neurologist), is the best physician to see for this problem.  Otologists and neurotologists are ENT physicians that specialize in ear problems.  Vestibular neuronitis typically starts abruptly with symptoms of true vertigo, which means that you feel as if either you or the room is spinning around.  But, after these initial symptoms improve, you can still feel "off" for a while, but usually the residual symptoms improve over 4-6 weeks or so.  There are lots of different inner ear problems, and unfortunately, patients are often misdiagnosed.  This causes problems because inner ear problems are treated very differently depending on the cause.  If you truly had vestibular neuronitis, a Vestibular Rehabilitation Therapy (VRT) program can help reduce or eliminate those annoying residual symptoms.  The problem is, VRT therapists are sometimes hard to find.  If you live in a big city, or near a big university, you should be able to find an otologist or neurotologist who can properly diagnose you and refer you for treatment.  Of note, if your symptoms increase when you lay down and roll over, or when you look up or bend over, you may have BPPV, which is usually very easy to treat.  BPPV is a type of inner ear problem. Your ENT specialist can test for this too.  Hope this helps.  Beware, if your doctor prescribed you an anti-dizziness medication like Antivert (Meclizine is the generic) or Valium, and you're still taking the meds, you may be prolonging your body's natural recovery process.  These types of medication should really only be used when you're having those big spinning spells.  They don't fix anything - they just mask the symptoms.  Just a thought.  Good luck.......Sarah

She might just be half asleep.  People ask for weird things when they're not awake.  Or maybe a neighbor is playing loud music that she can hear and just assumed it was you?  I've done things like that to my parents before (asked them to turn down the TV and it turned out there were just people talking loudly in the yard of the house next door).\n\nIf there's really no music, and she's fully awake, then it might still be nothing, but it could also be a symptom of a physiological or neurological problem.  Is it a normal time for her to sleep? (I don't know what time zone you're in).  Has she been acting odd lately?  Sleeping more or less than normal, talking to herself, anything like that?  If so, she should probably see a doctor.  But if there's nothing else going on, and it's just this one time thing, it's probably no big deal.

love her for who she is and just ignore the glitches. she's been through alot and she needs your love and support. she might, at times, need time to be alone, and at other times need to talk your ears off. just be there for her.

I am truly sorry to hear this but even more sorry that there is NO cure for it. I have had extreme vertigo for over 5 years. And like you the meds. don't work and the Dr cant fix it. So i know what you feel like as i have to deal with it ever day of my life. My dizziness gets so bad that i cant even sit up i have to lay down and it will last for about 45 min. Then i am sick for about 3 hours after its over. For people like me and you we just have to deal with it the best way we can. What i do to deal with it is really weird but it helps me a lot. If you would send me an e-mail or PM me i will tell you about the mental problems it has caused me

Perhaps you have an inner ear infection which can cause dizziness and if you don't get it checked may cause you to not be able to stand at all. It is a relatively common thing and is cured with antibiotics but I would let your physician check you out.
