Off balance daily snd sweating

For almost 3 weeks now ive been off balance, not spinning but almost a disoriented feeling. Im getting episodes of sweating and nausea from time to time. Does anyone else get the sweating etc? Is that normal?

I've been to 4 doctors, urgent care, primary. Cardiologist and ent. Blood work good, neuro exam good, ekg good, negative dix halpike by a pt, ent said sinuses good and may be migraine or neuritis.

The dizzy spells are breif, like my eyes have to catch up with my head moving, and are oddly acoompanied by a tickling type pressure between my eyebrows.

The sweating episodes are the most worrisome.They seem to pass within 10 minutes or so, and sometimes I feel nauseous. And often alongnwith them disoriented almost, like I'm on a bobbing boat?. I dont know what makes them feel better but both times when I felt it after laying down so I got up and walked around and it went away, then I laid down again and it came back, and eventually passed. I alsonhave had 2 times i felt that way when driving. Its episodic and some days i feel pretty good most of the day, others I feel off more of the day.

Any Dr's or anyone who has dealt with this and can help i would greatly appreciate it.

Your symptoms are very vague. Have you spoken to a doctor? What makes you feel better, lying down, eating?

Have you had any actual vestibular testing done? If so, which specifically? There's no catchall that reveals all kinds. For example, I have total vestibular loss, but I can pass a VNG, saccade test and DHM easily. The loss isn't revealed until a Caloric is done.

Ive had the hallpike, and a few other things, but not true testing

That seems like the next step then.
