Well, the results of my ambulatory EEG came back normal, and the doctor suggested that the cause of my dizzy spells may be mental illness. $1400 down the drain on yet another unpleasant, uncomfortable test only for it to turn out that I'm probably just crazy. I'm just fucking dandy.

I brought that up, but he said that even so, if there had been any unusual brain activity the EEG would've picked it up regardless. The thing is, though I had been expecting normal results from this test, it kind of threw me for a loop when he said there wasn't a whole lot more that could be done in the way of neurological testing and that now I should probably take this to my psychiatrist (since the cardiologist ruled out heart-related causes before sending me to neurology). At this point, I'm honestly not sure what to think or feel about the whole situation.

Your doctor is a quack.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vestibular_disorder#Causes

They've ruled out syncope, yes, but have you had your bloodwork checked for deficiencies? Sometimes it's just as simple as not enough B12. (not in my case b/c mine is caused by the physical bones themselves being ... non-standard)

See if you can get a referral to an ENT/otolaryngologist. Especially for Meniere's, b/c that can get nasty.

Your doctor is a quack.

Well, I am in Florida, so that can generally be assumed of almost any doctor around here.

Anyway, my most recent labs came back normal (I have to have bloodwork done every few months because of the arthritis meds I'm on), but tomorrow I'll definitely talk to my primary care doc about the possibility of seeing an ENT specialist. I could probably do with a visit to one anyway considering how often I get head-colds and ear infections, so...yeah. Thanks for the advice!
