Vestibular migraine?: The vestibule is the inner ear, which contains the balance system. In vestibular migraine patients will have episodes of vertigo with or without headache. The symptoms are similar to labyrinthitis or vestibular neuritis which are caused usually by viral infections. But with vestibular migraine there is no infection.**Recommend Neurology consultation To read about labyrinthitis: bit.ly/1E1jGEp

Lightheadedness/dizziness: Fortunately, MRI removes many pathological diseases such as tumor or stroke. Your symptoms could be from multiple causes. One area is ear and/or sinuses. If you are having an acute sinusitis, MRI is too sensitive to diagnose. A Ct Scan could show Sinusitis. You could have Meniere's or viral infection of the middle ear. Can also have muscle tension or stress causing problems. If no better,see Dr.
