So the last 3 weeks my cyst has been acting up. It's been causing very uncomfortable and annoying back pain, abdominal pain(sometimes extrememly painful). I feel full even when I'm hungry, bloated and puffy lower stomach, feeling gassy but not and constantly nouseous. I have a 12 cm cyst on my right ovary which hasnt really been causing me too much grief til recently. It was found on Ultrasound 2 1/2 months ago(non-cancerous). Doctor just wanted to keep an eye on it, but I didn't have insurance at the time so couldnt afford 350 bucks a pop. Finally got insurance, but Im afraid to go back to my docs because the insurance company might consider it "pre-existing" which means no coverage.


On top of what has been going on all of a sudden everyday since monday I've been having terrible vertigo. It happens everytime I wake up and lasts for about 20 mins. Tuesday had a one out of the blue that lasted 30 mins. Today is terrible. Ive had it all day since I woke up this morning. Can't tell you how many times I almost fell over. Nothing in my routine has changed. Have not been drinking and not taking any pills/drugs of any kind.


I was wondering if anyone thought these issues might correlate to one another.


I have lots of other female issues, but may not be relevant so kept it short.  


Thanks in advance. :)

Hi there,

It could very well be that the cyst is the cause of all these symptoms you are having. It could be getting worse, or it could have a small leak.

If going to the doctor is out, you might want to click on the medication link in my signature and see if there are any low-cost or free doctors in your area that you could go to instead.
