By far one of the most renowned doctors on the planet fully understanding this condition and the varied debilitating symptoms. I'm blessed to be under his care from May of 2020 to the present. My condition was severe and at a point of hopelessness prior to seeing him. Today it is nothing short of a miracle how much my condition has improved since treating with him. I'm not there yet, but on a positive path where the light at the end of the tunnel is closer every day.
That is the same year mine started 2020 and has become stronger each year. I have been told there is no treatment as it is damage to the brain, specifically the cerebellum.

I have symptoms all day, every day. Alot of vestibular migraine patients have constant symptoms. It csn lasts for years at a time. I wish so called experts would acknowledge this instead of thinking of migraine as episodic. I'm very grateful my neurologist recognised vm and diagnosed me.
Same here. Symptoms every day for the past 8mo (started after a mountain bike accident), my diagnosis by exclusion was Vestibular Migraine. Vestibular Rehabilitation is too intense for me - feel debilitated for a few days afterwards… - so I’m doing my own rehabilitation - walk/run/swim/bike, increasing duration/intensity every week, making sure I “recover” (back to baseline) after a few minutes/hours post exercise (started with 1min, now I’m able to run for >1h).
I totally agree, I very had some symptoms for 20 years, in varying degrees. I've never felt completely free from symptoms. It started after I had children. I thought I was just tired and spaced out. Then I was aneamic due to heavy periods, so drs always found another reason to explain away my strange symptoms. Basically they didn't know. I have finally seen a Dr, who has referred me for tests. I wish I had found these channels years ago. Sending out love to all sufferers. Xx
This is me! It started when I was 10. I have had every test imaginable. I have aura dizzy vertigo etc. triggered by food sodium alcohol and weather. I wish I could see this doctor in person.
Thank God for Dr Teixido! I'm so happy to have found him after 6 yrs and 10 different Dr's here in South Florida. I went back to my hometown in Wilmington, DE and was treated by him. He is the only Dr who understands this disorder and gave me hope. Thank you Dr T for all the material and resources you have shared. Prayers answered.
This was the best discussion I have heard on VM and treatment. Frustrated is an understatement. I've had to do so much research n then have to convince the provider what treatment works for me. Thank you for being so clear here.
Thank you soooo much for your pursuit to illuminate this misunderstood condition.i am diagnosed with VM, as you said no migraine nor headache for the last 50yrs( I was given small dose of Valium 50 yrs ago for new job stress related which stopped in a month,no head ache since then).My VM attack to me is disabling,stays in bed almost like a mummy,no head movement nor bed jarring for 1-2 days.Hugs my toilet bowl for violent vomitting and sometimes comes with urge to do #2 .Cold clammy all over my body.Gravol helps.Tried Cerc pill,made my vertigo worse(spinning not only vertically ,but horizontally).I feel that the Epley maneuver dont help.This vertigo started 40 yrs ago and happens at least 2x in a year.I still havent recognise my triggers.Just grateful that all attacks happened at home.I will watch my hydration and some food triggers. I will follow up your podcasts.More power to you.
By far the best information I have found about Vestibular Migraine. I stopped seeing my doctor at Hopkins two years ago because, apart from finally having a diagnosis, I felt there really wasn’t a lot a doctor could do for me. Physical therapy helped me get back behind the wheel after not being able to drive for several months. Even so, I still have days when I’m too impaired to drive.
Please try migraine preventative medicine. Try for a few months bc it works for dizzy patients. You could be having a silent migraine - no pain but u have symptoms 50% of migraines (pain and no pain) have dizziness/vertigo Please try a migraine med that works for you even if u no have the pain migraine
Thank you so much Dr. Texido.. God Bless you from a Vestibular Migraine sufferer. I was lucky to have an ENT and family doctor who diagnosed me when a fancy neurologist on MIchigan avenue almost caused me to be suicidal with his dismissal of my issues... You are very clear and succinct..
I am seeing my third neurologist. It’s sad the time, money and suffering that I have been through trying to get help. Almost three years of constant pain and suffering with symptoms that have not been able to be resolved as of yet. Excellent lecture.
Hi Dr. Texeido, I want to thank you from the button of my heart how much I appreciate your very invaluable support and information you have posted . God blesses you for helping all of us with Vestbular Migraine. I do have one top question and hoping you get a chance to response back . If not I completely understand. I have VM everyday that come with dizziness/vision vibration, it is worsen after I eat a meal. So far no doctor knows why, I am hoping you might have heard from other patients before and know why. Thank you so much for your time. Respectfully yours, Mayline
Hi I also have VM and improved greatly after VM physio ..I now continue physio by running 3 times weekly I still had a degree of dizziness although improved so much so I did an elimination diet and found my dizziness was due to food sensitivities. I now attend a GP who tested my food allergies and commenced me on EPD Injections which reduces my sensitivity to foods. It's Enzyme Potentiated Desensitisation. Check it out and see if this may apply to you. Every good wish to you in your symptoms relief Ann 🙂
Hi Dr. Teixido , I want to thank you for your hard work and the invaluable information you have shared with VM patients. The word alone can't describe enough of how much I appreciate all that you do . I used to have 30 migraine days for many years with vertigo and tinnitus. I am now got less amount of migraine attacks per day. I took your information to share with my doctors. That has help tremendously. God blesses you and your loved ones with good health . Thank you from the button of my heart for your compassion in helping all of us 🙏 ❤️
I wish you were close to me here in Washington State. It’s taken so much time just figuring out this exists, and that this is highly possible to be what I’ve been dealing with since 2007. Haven’t had any diagnosis yet, but I’m fairly certain at this point.
This is SO helpful! Your descriptions are so clear and understandable. I’ve been diagnosed with VM by an ENT. I’ve had Mineare’s Disease dx for 60 yrs and was told recently that VM rules out the Mineare’s. I’m glad to hear your explanation and interaction of the two!

Hi sorry for the late response .. I'm on Nortriptyline 10 mg One pill at night..it's been a very good medication..I don't take any meds during the day.. lately the change of weather has been challenging but not as bad ..as it was in the beginning of this whole ordeal..hope your doing well.. prayers 🙏
Thank god I found this video. I finally understand what is going on with me. I have vestibular migraine and with Alice in wonderland syndrom. I have been to sooooo many specialists in Peru and no one has been able to diagnose me since my migraines have such strange symptoms and no headache. Dr do you do online sessions? I would love to speak to you and book a consultation 🙏🏻
Would i be able to get an appointment with you remotely please? You are the only person I have any faith in and my hope is fading fast.. I live in the UK. thank you for all of your good work
Do we need to take the medications for life long? Previously, I was on meds for 8 months then doing well without meds for 8-9 months. Then my symptoms came back and I am on meds again.
Can vestibular migraine, aura migraine and motion sickness be triggered by impaired function of blood vessels in the cerebellum? I have all these three, and I have an srterial abnormality in my cerebellum (persistent trigeminal artery).
thank you Dr. Teixido. So informative. I'm wondering if anyone says they feel very sleepy during a vestibular migraine attack ? and my VM attacks last a few hours is that a symptom ?
I had 2 vestibular therapist say I had the worst bppv they ever seen. Roughly 1 1/2 years of therapy. My regular dr today said I have migraines. If you know of anyone worthy to see in NW FL please tell me
I can't run now, can't do many exercises and many movements. Due to anxiety my weight getting up. I can't do fasting also. Joints always have pain. What exercises will help me. Plz suggest me. Last hope. I am 36. Will it be continued whole life
I’ve been feeling dizzy every single day for the past 8mo, at the beginning I couldn’t even walk around the block without feeling really nauseous… I started to walk, faster, and for longer durations, each day. I also started to ride a stationary bicycle (slow speed, low intensity). After a few weeks, walking didn’t make me dizzy anymore, so I started to run and swim. At the beginning, 3min was enough to make me really nauseous, but now I’m able to run for 1h, and swim for 30min… I made sure the symptoms got back to baseline after a few minutes/hours after the exercises… - if a couple hours afterwards you’re still feeling worse than when you started, you probably went above your limit (so you should reduce duration/intensity). Good luck!
Hello sir. Plz guide. I am vestibular migraine patient. Gained weight due to rest more. And less activity. Now I want to reduce . For that I need change my diet also. I am vegetarian. May I increase my protein intake. Wil high protein affect or trigger vertigo
Me: VM diagnosis. Recurrent bppv Tinnitus intermittent One ocular migraine ever Congestion Ear pain / full/pressure intermittent PPPV One childhood nausea while reading in a car Sensitive to rides at park Family has migraines but non seem to have dizziness like me
Can you talk about other things besides meds? I realize the American medical system loves to treat symptoms and not the root cause. I’ve had excellent results from the Gonstead method of chiropractic care and it has worked wonders. Why doctors don’t even consider things other than meds is ridiculous!!!!!!
Dr Teixido gave me life back in 2019. He saved me from my 24/7 vestibular migraine. Thank you sir
