I think I get vertigo but my doctor looks at me like I'm a hypochondriac?!

Is vertigo something not respected really in the medical world?

I thought vertigo was something of an inner ear infection. I've always had problems with dizziness...either I get dizzy easily, especially in cars, swings, planes sometimes, boats.
If I'm in water that has a fairly big depth, I typically with vomit later...the pressure of being even just a certain depth will make me very sick, as well as high winds. My ears seem to be partially the catalyst. M aybe it's a two part dizziness. But any iinfo on it would be great.

Or I had one period for two weeks that every time I moved it felt like the world was spinning faster. I almost fell over, got so dizzy I was sick.

I'm never sick, wouldn't classify myself as a hypochondriac...I'm just wondering why my doctor didn't really look into it? I'm an adult, and still get carsick unless I drive. My solution is that I have to drive all of the time, unless I'm just ready to pass out, sleeping helps but I have to really be exhausted for that.

I'm tired of that feeling. But is it a myth? Am I just an easily dizzied person?


I hadn't been to my doctor for about five years prior, again I never get sick. But this dizziness isn't getting better with age, but worse.
