    My son has been having spells most of his life and doctors cant solve it. He will get unprovoked and sudden extreme dizziness, sensitively to light, loss of body strength, and will get pale and warm sweaty skin. After this he will fall asleep to only wake up to throw up and then will go back to sleep. This lasts about 10-14 hours. We have neurology tests and ENT and they cant seem to solve it.

    great video. what are the causes for the 2nd point sensation? I have been feeling dizzy, imbalance recently, and I have no idea why? last night I went to play soccer hoping to get better, but I couldn't keep my balance, had pain and pressure on top and front of my head, my feet were tight, always afraid that I might miss my next step, I still have no idea why? is it because of my neck? my vision? my inner ear? just where to start? :(
