Then from there he would get referred to a series of specialists. Those included, audiologists, ENT's, Neurologist, Cardiologist, vestibular therapists, chiropractors, etc. All coming to the conclusion that something was for sure certainly off, but was hard to find a test to show it. The symptoms made life miserable; and still do to this day. Constantly dizzy, feeling faint, nauseous and feeling like he was going to pass out. These symptoms have made his life impossible to live normally. It was hard to go to work it was hard to exercise, it was hard to do yard work or house work or spend time playing with his kids or being with his wife. It was completely changed his life for the worse in so many ways. Also, with everything going on he had developed severe anxiety and panic attacks because well. The feeling of wanting to throw up/fall over/ or pass out on a daily basis changes mind he would assume. He just want his life back and to feel normal again. He can not financially continue this. He had spent so much money trying to resolve all of this. It was not fair. To him or his family. Family that he missing out on precious time and moments with.
