Have had

I have had suffered from vertigo.

I have been suffering from vertigo.

I have had been suffering from vertigo.


Which one of the above is correct if I want to describe something that happened in the recent past and is still happening and will likely to happen in the near future? I suspect the third and the last one is completely ungrammatical. Please comment! Thanks!
