slurred speach and dizziness

[eightball652]

i have recently had bouts of slurred speach accompanied with some dizziness. my mri, ekg, eeg and all blood tests were negative. the doc told me to go home and maybe it would go away on its own. i am 29 years old and it has been two weeks and it hasnt gone away. please help

today i woke up feeling fine. after about an hour i started feeling exhausted and my speach was very slurred. i went  back to bed at 8:30(something i never do). i slept till 1:30 in the afternoon. i woke up and have felt fine since. this has scared my family to death. what could it have been? i am basically a very healthy person. i don't take any medication for anything. i had gastric bypass surgery 3 years ago but have done fine with it. i did have some sugar this morning now that i think about it, i usually don't.i am 60 years old.
thank you,
georgi

I can relate.  I am having the same issues.  I am going to see my reg. doc this Tuesday and I am sure that she will get to the bottom of it.  I've had some test done at the ER, I went there really scared, but, I still need a MRI, they mentioned something about MS, early signs.  I will let u know.  You can email me at ***@**** and I will be more then happy to fill you in.  I am young too - well 35.  I have had slurred speach on several occassions and for over the past week I have been getting really bad dizzy spells; well, they are just really frequent!   Take care and good luck to you!

Hello.

This could be related to a reduced blood supply to an inner ear organ called labyrinth (the organ for balance), which can give rise to such symptoms. You may have to consult an ENT surgeon for these symptoms.
