After testing in July I was told that I had a unilateral, right-sided vestibular weakness that was responsible for feelings of being pulled to the right and imbalance I had been having since February after I had both a viral illness and an abscesses wisdom tooth. When I seem to have symptoms, I also feel a sensation of pressure confined to the roof of my mouth.

I’m trying to see if others with a similar condition have experienced that specific symptom? The ENT and my regular Dr seemed to not really think it was related, but it seems too closely tied to when I feel off balance not to be and gets worse when I do the vestibular exercises. I’ve been told I could have a headache, but this is really just pressure confined to the roof of my mouth. It got considerably worse when I had a dental treatment, so I’m uncertain if it’s solely a dental problem or linked to the vestibular deficit.

I also experience pressure in the roof of my mouth but my allergy doctor says it is due to my sinus & allergy problems. No treatment has helped so far.

I also felt that. But it was for another reason. I'm trying to cure a malocclusion. My lower jaw goes deep inside, which is why the front teeth do not converge.

Hi there. I experience roof of mouth pressure too and have been to an ENT and dentist. No treatment so far has helped. It also affects my breathing as when my palate feels really heavy I feel unable to take a deep breath.

How are you doing now? Have you found any relief? Mine has been going for years now. It drives me crazy. 

with kindness,

El Bee 🦋

Apologies for the late response. I understand that this thread is from three years ago, but I wanted to chime in and offer some insight. If you're still experiencing those symptoms, it might be a good idea to consult a medical professional who specializes in both dental and vestibular issues. They could provide a more accurate assessment and help determine if there's a connection between the pressure in your mouth and your vestibular weakness.

Hello, I just came across this thread, and I would like to share with you how my nightmare with the roof of the mouth pressure has started.
This is how it developed through the years:

April 2017: Floating-boat, back instability & back-nose/upper-back-teeth pressure:

One day I was sitting with my boss on the computer, suddenly felt my head got warm and I'm about to faint, took a long breath, left the job and went to hospital, blood pressure measured, at first was high then went to normal, I went back home.

After that day, I started feeling massive pressure behind my nose, and on the upper back teeth. This pressure was linked to a floating-boat feeling that happens when I move my legs or arms (first time I noticed this, was while washing my hand.... with the hand movement, I felt like the muscles of my back where moving up & down, making my whole body feels like on a boat. I made a blood work, everything seemed to be fine. Doctor said it must be sinisitus lol... So ignored the symptoms for now.

-------------------------

November 2017: Hand movements getting weird, slight eye-blurriness

While working on the computer, (btw, I'm a software dev), I noticed my hand movements to grab the mouse are becoming weird, slowish, deviating a bit ... is it maybe the back-instability effect that made me inconsciously adapt my hand movements to that stability? Maybe yes... maybe no. At the same time, while sitting, I feel like I'm more deviated to the left... like I'm falling to the left.

Went to ophtalmologist (I have -6 on both eyes), to get new glasses: Noticed that, especially for white text on dark backround .. feels a bit blurry, I needed to manually adjust the glasses to get it clearer.. they changed the way the glasses are made but that didn't quite solve the problem. Again, ignored it.

-------------------------

December 2017: Earthquake feeling on some random steps

Happened to me 6 or 7 times ... I'm standing, I make a step (towards or behind), I feel like the ground had an earthquake single hit.

-------------------------

January 2018: Head MRI

Went to ENT because of the nose pressure, he sent me to make an MRI to make sure the brain is intact. And it was, indeed (at least when seen by him and by the doctor who works in the MRI center). The only thing was a little chronic sinus infection behind the nose. He suggested a surgery to remove it. went to 2 other ENTs, they said no it's too early and not worth it. So didn't do it.

-------------------------

February 2018: Normal doctor sends me to neurologue

My doctor had by then done the normal tests he could (blood, heart) .. he said the symptoms are unclassic, go to neurologist.

-------------------------

August 2018: Left leg

Started noticing that I'm using more the right leg. In gym, when running a lot, i start kinda carrying the left leg, becomes less smooth ... and the shin would start being painful

-------------------------

October 2018: Parkinson test, little visual vibration

I finally went to the neurologue, the classical tests and measures were fine, she sent me to make a dopamine-related MRI, the result was that any dopamin-related neuerodegenerative desease is by 98 % excluded... oh and btw the terror I had of having Parkinson started a new chapter of this story: Psychological issues: I started having depersonalisation and derealisation... 2019 was allocated for this: psychology, and I dropped the original issue.

I also started noticing little visual vibrations when looking at contrasted things (like tiles for example)...

In 2020 I had also an MS test, which turned out to be negative.

After that I gave up.

The quality of my life is getting shittier everyday, I cannot concentrate at work anymore, I cannot enjoy life anymore.

Now my problem is that I need a diagnosis, I need to know to which doctor should I go.

Regards
