Do symptoms such as dizziness, headache, a feeling of electric pulsations, and confusion indicate a brain condition?

Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

I understand your concern.

I have carefully considered your question and would like to explain that your symptoms could be related to seizures or a panic disorder, or it can be an inner ear disorder.

I want to exclude cardiac issues, intracranial hypertension or hypotension, any brain tumor, aneurysm or infection, or neurodegenerative disorder, as all your tests turned out to be normal.

I would recommend performing an EEG (electroencephalogram) to investigate seizures, consulting with an ENT (ear-nose-throat) specialist, and perform labyrinthine tests to examine for an inner ear disorder.

If these tests result normal, you should consider anxiety as the main cause of your complaints.

Hope you will find this answer helpful!

Reach out to me in case further clarifications are required.

Hi,

Welcome back to icliniq.com.

I understand your concern.

The duration of such episodes is not typical of seizures because seizures last for some minutes. The loss of vision could be related to low blood flow to the brain. But, the brain MRI is normal, and no evidence of brain ischemia is revealed.

The fact is that these symptoms occur each time you drive and could be related to a psychological problem. So, it seems that anxiety plays an essential role in this condition.

Before coming to this conclusion, I recommend performing an EEG (electroencephalogram) for seizures, a doppler ultrasound of the carotid arteries to exclude possible narrowing, and a head-up tilt test for orthostatic hypotension. Orthostatic hypotension is a medical condition caused by a drop in blood pressure values and, thus, the blood supply to the brain during sitting or standing up differs compared to lying down.

I hope you will find this information helpful.

I would be glad to review all your tests for another medical opinion.
