I am a female, 17 years old, and over the last couple months things have been..weird for me. I have been having bad headaches, they are terrible. They literally feel like someones banging my head aganist a wall. Also when this headache is happening i get very dizzy and I don't walk straight I sometimes run into a wall. After the headache goes away, I hear this very loud ringing in my ears. Have you heared the mosquito ringtone? Well it's something like that. Even when I don't have this headache sometimes I still hear this annoying mosquito sound. Over the last couple weeks I have had this confusion, like I'll be walking somewhere with my family and I just stop walking and I think things like "Where am i?" "Who is this person talking to me?" and then after the confusion is gone I can remember what I was thinking and then a very loud mosquito sound comes. Right now I can hear the mosquito sound but it's very faint. I've also felt nausea sometimes but never vommited. I also have a bad memory now, I use to have a very very good memory. I have asked my grandparents to take me to the hospital, because I honestly don't feel good I don't even feel like getting out of bed in the morning for school and this is my favorite year because It's my senior year. But my grandparents think nothing is wrong with me and do not want to take me. This hasn't been happening for a little bit of time either, it's been happening for months, but it's getting worse. Does this sound serious to you? What do you think it is? Should I go to the doctors? I'm also tired all the time.

Wishuponthestar: The first thing I'd do is get yourself checked for Type 1 Diabetes. If that checks out o.k. then you need to go to a neurologist and get an EEG and MRI to make sure there's nothing going on in your brain, like seizures.
The mosquito noise in your ears is Tinnitus. Ringing in the ears. Are you listening to loud music on Ipods, MP3's, etc. You could be damaging your ear drums with those things.
And my last recommendation is to see an endocrinologist and get your hormones tested and have your thyroid tested as well. Hypothyroidism can make you tired.
I take it you live with your grandparents. If they won't listen to you, go to the school nurse and explain what is going on and see if she can help get through to them. It's NOT all in your head!!! You need to get checked out so you can get these issues under control before something serious happens.

The school nurse doesn't technically like me..I've read up alot about the brain and it seems like I have the symptoms of a brain tumor. Could it be that? I hope not ]:

Wishuponthestar: Don't think that it's a brain tumor. You need to get an MRI to get that diagnosed. Do you have a friend, a friend's mother, an aunt, a cousin or anyone close to you that you can confide in that can help you. If the nurse doesn't like you what about a guidance counselor at school? Get someone to listen to you, and get them to talk to your grandparents to let them know that you're not making this up. If they care about you then they will help you.
If they won't listen to you then find a clinic in your area that you can walk into that might have someone there to help you out.
Also, take a look at what you're eating. Are you eating stuff with alot of MSG in it? Are you a diet soda drinker? That stuff is poison. It's got aspartame in it and it messes with your neurotransmitters. Are you eating alot of red meat? It's full of hormones that could be messing with your hormones. You could be being affected by EMF's from cell phones, computers, TV, video games, and more. Do you think you could be bothered by the fluorescent lights in school? They're a known trigger to seizures.
Keep track of when these things are happening and see if they happen more right before, during and after your menstrual cycle. Look up Catamenial Epilepsy and look at the triggers. See if they fit what's going on with you.
Are you having a hard time sleeping? Are you under alot of stress? They can both contribute to the problems you're describing. I hope you find some help. Reach out to someone.
