Prolonged dizziness, poss. ear or thyroid, not really WLS related.

OK, about three months ago I started noticing I was becoming a little disoriented when I was driving. It was irritating and I ignored it for a week or so. However it got worse so I felt it warrented a trip to the doc. I've seen the doctor 4 times since and am on my 4th round of antibiotics. I had a pretty bad sinus infection and it appears I have some fluid in my ears, according to the doc. Both docs in the office feel that I have a problem with my thyroid, but the TCH and the T3 came back normal. (Will be testing again along with T4 on Monday) They feel this way because my neck is larger than normal and I was having difficulty regulating my breathing and having panic attacks. (I was unaware these were all related) Now, here is my problem....it is next to impossible to drive. I can function around the house, but the moment I get in the car, the movement messes me up pretty bad. This is THE single most irritating thing I have ever encountered in my life and I want it gone. I know this isn't really WLS related but there are a large amount of people available here for some brain picking. Has anyone here had issues with extended dizziness like this, or maybe thyroid issues that have caused these syptoms? If so, I'd really love some insight. Thanks-Rebecca
