Dealing with unknown illness for years

I have been dealing with some symptoms for about 3 years that have never been diagnosed. On a daily basis I have these "attacks" of pressure in the back of my head and/or behind my eye and nausea.  I will take a couple zofran to get through the day and that usually works.  Sometimes the pressure is a full on headache and sometimes not.  I am also extremely fatigued and weak, and I feel slowed down mentally.  I have a dull pain in my mid back about near the edge of my ribcage near my vertebrae. These symptoms will go in cycles from severe and daily for months and then less frequent and less intense for months but they never go away and I am having no luck with doctors. It is really impacting my ability to get through the day. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I would suggest seeing a neurologist, if you haven't yet. It sounds more neurological than anything else. If you put the symptoms together the only thing that doesn't necessarily fit is the pain in your back, which could just be an underlying symptoms from your body's reaction to your other complaints. Or I would go see an ophthalmologist not an optometrist.....you could have an eye disorder. And if the zofran isn't working for the nausea I'd ask for phengren. It's also a nausea medication. I'm on both, when you take a medicine daily you build a tolerance. So if one doesn't work for me, I switch.
