15 years of medical gaslighting as well as being told that my brain is so powerful that when there is something that I do not want to do it will make me sick 🤮 only got "answers" within the last 6 months
Completely bedridden after vestibular neuritis and a pppd diagnosis. 6 weeks of working with a specialist pt and now I can fully take care of myself again, doing the groceries, cooking, cycling for an hour and walking for 45 minutes. Yesterday I had dinner with friends for 2 hours. Still very much experiencing the symptoms but taking it a week at a time and staying hopeful. Everybody: you got this. Start small and work from there. Believe in your recovery and believe in yourself. P.s I also meditate 2 times a day and follow dr. Yo’s somatic tracking affirmations during activity and do her breathing exercises 2 times a day.
Hi Dr. Yo! For the past 6 weeks I’ve experienced 24/7 rocking, swaying, lightheadedness, ‘woosh’ feeling when I turn my head, extreme nausea, visual disturbances and of course the immense anxiety and sense of doom that accompanies all of these sensations. Less than 2 weeks ago I began your free course. A bunch of videos, somatic tracking, and a little introspection later my symptoms are down at least 90%. Thank you so so much for all of your work and making it available.
Dealing with this for 2+ years now. Did all tests and nothing came out. Your video explains my symptoms so nicely. Now I am much better. I would say am at 50% now and its subsiding but the recovery is no linear. One thing that is working for me is not sitting and hoping that this will go away. I sort of do the normal things and try and make my self feel i am fine. I don’t push myself too much, cause the self needs some love and kindness also. Anxiety and health anxiety after my initial panic attacks around 5-6 years ago may have led to this. But the cause could be way earlier as panic attacks come for a reason which is usually accumulated stuff over the previous years. This channel has been the only one that has sort of understood and been able to explain my symptoms. Difficult to explain to other people as what they can’t see they can’t believe. And this vertigo thing is difficult for people to believe and difficult to explain.
I'm so thankful to have found you!! Going on 9 months with horrible symptoms, a zillion tests, thousands spent, and zero help. Thank you for all you are doing to help us all.
@@TheSteadyCoach I had tests and the doctor said this means VM. Total caloric response is 31 deg/s with a 3% asymmetry to the right ECOG was normal response bilaterally VEMP- normal response bilaterally Audiogram Hearing WNL, excellent WRS TYMPS/ARs Tymps wnl. Rotary Chair Summary report SHA: low gain for .08 and .16 Hz only, Velocity step test: low gain for post-rotary right and per-rotary left consistent with left peripheral vestibular pathology, VVOR: high gain consistent with migraine, UC: abnormal left SVV consistent with left utricular dysfunction .

Will therapy help or are medications the only way to fix this?
This is 100% accurate! I have been diagnosed with both MdDS and Vestibular Migraine (over 2 years ago but symptoms starts 7 years ago). None of the medications have worked for me and I have always known that I have needed to heal my anxiety, trauma, etc. (which is NOT EASY, especially when it is ongoing ie. Family). Your content has given me hope and is changing my life! Thank you for all you do and share.
Incredible. I'm so glad you've been able to listen to your intuition. I really think that many people know this deep inside, it's just that they're givensuch confusing and contradicting messages from physicians and loved ones. And yes- having people in your life who have been involved in trauma and stress is a huge challenge, but as I talk about in the videos- it doesn't have to be perfect to get better- reducing fear of symptoms and working through emotions by just a bit is a huge help.
My God.....your video is coming at the right timing. I cannot thank you enough. I am suffering from dizzy spells, swaying and balance issues. No tests can reveal anything. I am feeling frustrated and annoyed at this moment. Thank you millions. Will get enrolled in your free course. You are doing a great job. Lots of blessings from us sufferers. 🙏
I am crying. This is literally an answer to prayer. For the first time in several years I actually feel hopeful. You are describing exactly what my chiropractor (another answer to prayer) has been telling me. I plan to start your course immediately. Even just reading the comments on various videos on your channel give me hope. Thank you ❤
Yes! Take the course and consider joining the paid community as well if you have the financial resources. I found this video about seven months ago (as an answer to a prayer) and I am soooo much better already! This IS the way out!
I have been walking on a Trampoline for 2.5 yrs!! Had PT for 12 weeks , much bloodwork, brain scan, and not 1 Dr has Ever heard of PPPD !! I Have seen many of your videos... am going to work with you now !!!
Everyone I know tells me the symptoms are in my head. To ignore it, I have nothing because the doctors found nothing and I am having a horrible time not only with what I am dealing with but also loosing my job due to this and all kind of problems. I am glad I saw this video and gave me hope.
Thank you so much for this video. I have been diagnosed with suspected Meniere’s and VM as I’ve had two episodes of hearing loss in both ears with tinnitus, ear pressure and vertigo. However both times I recovered 100% of my hearing, tinnitus and pressure issues with steroids. BUT the dizziness would just not go away. Each day feels like I’m rocking on a boat and the doctors have no idea what to make of it when ears are in perfect condition. Got all sort of tests done and everything is absolutely normal. Now they aren’t even sure if I have Meniere’s or not. Your channel has given me hope that this can be treated. Have enrolled in your free course and will be checking out all the content on your channel 🙏
Currently going through the same diagnosis. On steroids to see if my hearing bounces back. I believe if your hearing is able to recover 100% after episodes, it is just vestibular migraine symptoms! Read other stories of people getting misdiagnosed with Meniere’s at first but their hearing would come back. Good luck and healing to you!
Knowledge is freedom. I found your channel after a research on the web because my 70 year old mother has been suffering from constant dizziness after a vestibular neuritis and even though we don't have a formal diagnosis for PPPD, I'm 100% sure that's what she has. I've done a lot of reading and this fits perfectly. Last year doctors made her an enormous amount of tests (neurological, visual and cardiological) so we are sure there is no other problem causing this. We live in Argentina and there are a few specialists in otoneurology here but they are not familiar with this diagnosis and method, so the only treatment is Vestibular rehabilitation therapy, but it has a ceiling. It's a HUGE relief having found your channel, because there is almost NOTHING in Spanish about this disabling condition. Today I showed her some of your videos and her mood and energy drastically changed. It's a small light for us and the people around us, who don't really understand completely what's happening. It's a very difficult thing to explain for those who don't live it constantly. Hope and awareness are the key to a recovery. I just signed her up for the free course, with a lot of illusion. We'll not give up and I'll never leave her alone on this journey. Thank you, doctor! I will update this comment with news while she is doing the course. 🤩🌟🙌💪 Thanks for the support and we are not alone!!!
Hello, I was thinking in going back to Argentina to be treated since I have spent thousand of dollars and saw all doctors possible with no solution for me. I thought I could be helped in a timely manner over there. I have been dealing with dizziness and loss of balance for 7 months now.
Omg I needed this so much. I was diagnosed with vestibular migraines. I also have extreme anxiety attacks that effect my heart rate and blood pressure constantly. I was thinking it was it was POTS but before I could be tested my doctor moved away and left me without medical care. I’m on waitlists but it’s going to be a long time. The only thing at the time that helped was Ativan. She had put me on 90 mg a month of Ativan for 3 years before she suddenly moved away. I had no idea how scary this medication is and the side effects of stopping taking it. I was recently forced to rapid taper into cold turkey instead of the recommended 5-10 percent taper. Now all of my symptoms I was experiencing have come back 10 fold. My dizziness and loss of balance and feeling like I’m falling is constant and it cues my anxiety attacks instantly. It’s a vicious cycle and I don’t know where to go for any help or validating advice until finding this now. I’m bursting into tears as we speak. This is such an absolute life saver of hope to be able to heal.
Hi Dr. Tonite; Just watched this video, and you made a 59 year old man cry in a good way. At the end of your video you said and I quote “ You can fully recover”. Thats the first time in a very long time that I’ve heard anyone say there is a possibility I may get through this nightmare. This video hit the nail on the head with my symptoms and my personality. I was driving today and experienced what felt like my eyes dancing in my head. Felt like my vision was blurring out like a wave. Time after time. Very not good. Haven’t had that for a long time. Got so bad that I had to let my wife drive. I am suffering from some cold symptoms that’s effecting my ears as well. Just wanted to let you know I will be signing up for your course. I hope I hope this helps me, my life depends on it. I want to thank you again for your videos. Your videos at the very least give us a bit of hope, when many of us had no hope. Dirt Farmer Marc
It breaks my heart, Marc, that I’m the first person to tell you this - because it’s TRUE. I know you’re probably already into the course but just so you know- there is an updated section (free) coming in January that I think will be really helpful to you. Stay tuned- I will announce it here and via my newsletter.
@@TheSteadyCoach Good morning Dr. Yonit; First of all I’m very sorry I miss spelled your name. I haven’t gotten into the course much so far, suffering from a bad cold right now. With a cold and this condition, you really don’t feel like doing anything. I will definitely stay tuned to your channel. This is some of the best news I’ve had in a long time. Thank you again. Dirt Farmer Marc 🇨🇦
Yes I’m definitely better now. I do my regiment of exercises every morning, and slowly but surely things are getting better. The biggest hurdle is believing that things can get better, and being patient with the progress. I actually road a motorcycle a couple of weeks back, that was something I never thought I would ever do again. Like Dr. Yo says, You can and will get better, but it can be a long recovery. Never giving up is my motivation.
I can't even explain how I'm feeling right now..... My sleep study appointment doc pointed this out related to my symptoms. I honestly thought I was the only one feeling like this, and have trouble describing it to anyone. I've had this for the last 8 years and just now hearing about this. It's EXACTLY what's been going on with me! Time to get to work, I hope it hasn't been to long to fix my circuit! Thank you so much for putting this where people can see it! I was/am literally at the end of my rope!
Oh my goodness THANK YOU! I've had cervogentic vertigo for 5 years that comes on with stress and anxiety which causes my muscles to spasm in my neck and head. It started after a traumatic home birth of my daughter. I just registered for your course. I'm in tears thankful for some answers and hope and that I can heal. Thank you. God Bless
Dear Dr Yonit, God sent you I swear, I’m so grateful, you’re an angel. I suffer from imbalance, sense of floating, and I can’t stand/sit still. The hardest thing for me is to NOT feel threat when I have to sit in a church or in every place where I shouldn’t move or go out. Every time I tried, it was a nightmare. It’s getting worse, no matter how brave I was to go into that “dangerous” situation. I wonder how I can escape from this, but I hope I’m going to find solution with you and God. Thanks again!❤
This video is a great synopsis of the how, why and what of chronic dizziness. I encourage anyone who sees this and hasn’t yet taken your free course to do so. It’s well done and well worth the time.
Thanks Dr. Yonit. I’ve watched you in the past and on 12/8/23 I had an appt with Dr. Kristin Steenerson at Stanford and she recommended you! You are a gift to our Unsteady Community. I actually have physical vestibular damage and I’m working with Dr. Steenerson in some other areas, but she pointed me to you for the “fight or flight” component of my constellation of diagnoses. Thank you!
@@TheSteadyCoach I feel very fortunate for sure. It will be a long road to recovery and involve meds, long trips out of town to a Stanford vestibular therapist - but mostly the WILL to persevere, which is my weak link. Three years on this rocking boat already and I’ve kind of given up.
yes, "cant focus your vision, like your vision is bouncing around", thats the closest accurate description of my major post-covid long symptoms. i feel like im very subtly but consistently being jostled as if im on an amusement park ride with the shaking and clink-clinking of the car as it roughly travels along the cog system. or like im in a car riding on a rocky dirt road and my vision is shaky, also sometimes my eyes will just un-focus a second after i try to focus on a point, they'll kinda blur out as if my eyes r tired. some days i almost feel snow-blind, yet i can see, yet something seems off or static-y. it feels visual but also feels a bit equalibrium/inner-ear related all at once. ❤thanks for all the great info, i'll have to keep in the loop with your channel. very interesting !
You are so welcome, Annie! The visual stuff is wacky but pretty universal for people with dizziness. From my experience, post covid symptoms are the same thing (as long as medical issues have been ruled out).
This happened to me Nov 20th and Nov 29th. I went to the e.r. Nov 20th I passed out at my desk. My dad picked me up and took me to the e r. 2nd time via EMS. Thought I was falling through my bed. Had a break down. Was terrified and call 911. The " behavior health " center has me on Lexapro. Im 43 and its my first health problem. I had ct scans and xrays and eveeything and they told me im just dealing with anxiety. My biggest problem since November of 2023 has been the dizzy vertigo feelings. In the beginning i had to lay down alot. Thankfully my job is on my side. This video has taught me alot. I dobt think the Lexapro is doing anything. I've been on it 5 weeks. Part of my stress us im gaving a house built. Perhaps thats part of my anxiety. Im not sure. I am always dizzy. The first attack my feet were definitely like jello.
THIS HONESTLY IS ONE OF THE GREAT VIDEOS THAT I HAVE COME ACROSS EXPLAINING THE ACTUAL REASONS OF CHRONIC DIZZINESS IN A MOST SIMPLE AND UNDERSTANDABLE WAYS TO A PERSON LIKE ME. THIS WAS SO SO HELPFUL FOR SURE I WILL SIGN UP TO YOUR SOURSE AS I AM DISPERATELY TRYING TO OVERCOME THIS UNPLEASANT FEELING
Amazing.I had OCD for years then took an ssri which greatly relieved it then 20 years later had an inner ear ( neuritis) trauma and my ocd symptoms came back.
You sent me here from another video because I didn't understand, and this made it very clear...thank you for that. I think I had it stuck in my head that this was going to be an easy fix, plus I am still in disbelief that this is happening and has changed my life so much. I have a knee replacement coming up too, so it's been a lot. Going now to your other videos! 🏃♂
I’m so glad this one cleared it up, Christina! There is nothing worse than being told what you’re going through is not real- but it’s also just as bad to be told it’s an irreversible problem. I don’t think either of those are true.
@@TheSteadyCoach I went to my first Vestibular PT session and omg. The therapist explained the same thing you did, I am SO glad I found you first which enabled me to have a grasp on all of this. Had I not I don't know that I would have been so receptive, simply because I wouldn't have understood. She asked me so many questions etc, the first time anyone listened to me! One session and I am telling you, there's like a 60% improvement. I even went to the grocery store today for the first time in months. Now I see why you have all these amazing comments in your videos!!!
I have lots of earwax and dermatitis but my ear doctor doesn't seem to be able to do much about the dizziness I have been feeling for at least a year. I am in therapy for anxiety and my dizziness symptoms have made me feel so unsure and scared of the outside world that I started feeling agoraphobic!! Ugh. It sucks. Hope I'll feel better. This is such a good an encouraging channel!!!!
You're totally in the right place, Martina. I have seen people develop agoraphobia from this and then get back to life once they understood what was going on. It won't take place overnight but you can do this!!
I have chronic dizziness along with unsteadiness along with jaw pain I have seen many Dr's ENT, Neurologist had MRI's CT scans VNG test, blood work etc that all come back negative. The first ENT Dr said that I had TMJ, so I went to a so called TMJ Dental Specialist who made me a splint to wear, but $4,000.00 later he told me that this might not get rid of my dizziness of which it hasn't and I still even have the jaw pain along with dizziness and headaches. I've read many articles that TMJ can cause these things but now I'm confused and don't know were to go maybe I have both TMJ and PPPD. At least watching your channel gives me some hope.
I am so sorry you went through all of this, John. You may find this video interesting. Why you have PAIN & PRESSURE with your chronic dizziness & how to get rid of it th-cam.com/video/1jYe4wWZGXw/w-d-xo.html
Thank you for another great video. I hope you know how much this means to us who don't have access to help in our countries. In my country, Serbia I didn't find anybody who knows about this mind-body approach, but I'm gonna try to work on my emotions with therapist because I definitely have things that I cannot solve myself no matter how much knowledge I have.
Thank you!!!! That is my mission and it means so much to me to know that people EVERYWHERE have access to free and low cost ways of healing. I think the therapist will be able to help you get to the bottom of what's really bothering you. I'm so glad to hear you're doing to try that.
Great video I've been dealing with continuous balance/unsteadiness for 8 months now and its horrible had most tests done MRI, CT scan bloods etc everything came back as normal waiting to see an ENT doctor and if thats normal it must be this. The longer it goes on would that indicate its harder to recover from? Cant imagine a life with this condition indefinitely its truly depressing 😕
My dizziness started on the motorway, very scary. It came out of nowhere. 4 months later I still can't drive. Even when I try I have to pull in and stop. Gets worse at higher speeds but also when stopped at a red light! Bizarre!!
What a great video! Thanks for sharing your knowledge. I'm currently in the middle of getting back to normal life and your materials are really inspiring
Finding this video today, I truly believe god sent this to me. I have been dealing with this for about 9 months and have been the most depressed I’ve ever been in my entire life. I’ve been to doctor after doctor and one ENT who sent me for a hearing test (which I passed) and an MRI which was normal and still she said she “believes” I have Ménière’s Disease and sent me on my merry way. It broke me into a million pieces thinking I have this disease without any hard evidence and not even the same symptoms. I will be obsessively following your channel from now on. Thank you. You’ve given me hope for the first time since hearing this. Thank you so much 😭🥹
This is great! I wish I'd had this the first time I experienced these symptoms 13 years ago. The only thing I would quibble with is the idea that psychological or psychosomatic symptoms are not "real". Everything you perceive is equally real, whether it comes from external or internal processes. I understand that people feel that if their problems are described as psychological that it is invalidating, but I think we should emphasize that symptoms with their origins in the brain are not actually lesser and are in fact just as real as anything else (which you have said, I just feel like demonizing the word "psychological" doesn't really help).
Totally agree with you, definitely a bit of a dilemma regarding using the word psychological, but I do know that I am apt to alienate people when describing it that way. I think we as a society need to have a total paradigm shift about how we dichotomize psychological vs physical ailments. In the meantime, I'm trying to meet people where they're at.
Im so glad that i found this channel. After getting covid vaccine and getting COvid a few days after, i started having diziness from feburary 1st i was put on betahistine, motion sickness pills, duloxetine to see if it was psychological. Ive had MRI, blood tests and seen an ENT and done an eye test. The GPs keep telling me everything is normal and that nothing can be done. Its been 10+ months and im so miserable and so scared that this could be MS
You're in the right place, Maryam. I know it's terrifying because the symptoms can be so debilitating and intense, but if you've had the medical tests clear you, you're dealing with neural circuit dizziness.
@@TheSteadyCoach thank you so much for your fast response, i guess recently ive had some hope knowing im not alone, even tho not having a diagnosis is horrible. Neural circut diziness is it consistant? Because i have the diziness 24 hours a day since it started in the 11 months, it has not stopped a second to give me a break. And is it possible to recover from it or do i have to live with it ? Xxx
@@maryammohammadpour2073 Hello Maryam, I feel the same. I first got vertigo when I tested positive for Covid. It’s been 11 months now and I still have persistent dizziness and all the other symptoms mentioned in this video. All of my tests are clear and I am going to vestibular therapy which is helpful but it doesn’t eliminate dizziness. Here and there I get really bad vertigo attacks and all the same symptoms gets worse. I hope you get well soon.
Very informative video. I have been to many doctors and no one has explained it so clearly. I have been feeling like this for 11 months now and I will do anything to get better. Do you any patients who get brain zaps? I black out for a second which is so scary.
Thank u so much for ur video. Imhad a concussion 4 yearsa ago, its my 3rd setback: nausea, dizziness, visual issues, little imbalance... its 5 weeks since the setback and i am sfill struggling out of it. I waana full year perfectly fine , playing soccer, feeling great. Suddenly colzpsed back to it. Dont know where to turn anymore
Please consider taking the course!!! We have had several people come through the membership community and heal from post concussion syndrome. The course is free. thesteadycoach.com/free-course
@@TheSteadyCoach uau. Really?! Im gonna look into that! Thank you soooooo much! In portugal i cant get anyone to address this. Neurologists are all brainwashed!
Dr.Yo, One more great video from you, very well explained. I understood that, there are two possibilities for recovery, turn down the danger mode (or) stop brain making incorrect predictions of danger. I would like to know if there's a way to address the root cause, that is, stop brain making wrong predictions of danger with the sensory inputs (or) tell the brain that these are wrong predictions and not real danger.
Hi Senthil, a lot of it is emotional expression and awareness. For many people, it's relatively simple to do on your own by learning to be aware of and accepting of your emotions in the moment, and reminding yourself you're safe and allowed to feel emotions. There is an update to the course coming in January that expands on this. If there is trauma, it needs to be re-worked so the memories of it are not sending the brain into fear mode as much and that as is best done with a therapist.
For me my dizziness is worse indoors especially dimly lit. I feel it more when I'm still if I'm walking outside I feel almost 'normal'. But at night when I'm in bed i feel like my bed is moving or my legs are sinking into it. All of this happened since I had a huge panic attack that brought on vertigo that lasted a few minutes but ever since then I've been like this. I actually had the same problem in 2015 for months in the end it went on its own but now it feel like it's affecting me worse since my home life has changed drastically.
I have the same exact sensations and same exact experiences that lead to how I feel. But there has been plenty of improvement, so there is hope. I love this channel. It has given me a lot of peace. Thank you so much Dr Yonit! I will be taking your course for sure.
everything you are saying makes so much sense but I cant get it out of my head that it is my neck or spine causing these symptoms and I would need neck surgery because that is what my PCP told me in the being of this. Then she told me my anxiety was making the symptoms worse and no doctor would treat me until I go my anxiety under control so she put me on an anxiety medication which made me so sick. But my ent and neurologist said it's coming from my ear and balance center. But in the back of my head I believe its my neck. This video has all my symptoms which over the last year and a half have subsided because I am going for PT. Hopefully they eventually go away.
I have chronic pain and I am trying to training my body again and mind. I am struggling with the vision nysama also and pppd as things are moving around me all the time and with increasing activity I get neck /shoulder stiffness and I hear the heart pounding in my right ear and I can’t get rid of the tintuis and eyes getting blurry even though my vision is perfect. Appreciate any advice that would help me. I listen to piano music most of the time to manage keep anxiety down. Thank you for the information and I ll listen to all your videos and look forward to hearing from you. Mirvat
You'd benefit from my course!! I know you said you have physical injuries but the course helps people who have them as well. It is FREE. thesteadycoach.com/free-course
It is so hard to get out of danger mode. I almost fainted at the store a week ago and my symptoms have skyrocketed since then. I tried going to the store two more times since then and as soon as I walk in, I start to feel faint. I KNOW this is a bad circuit, but I don’t know how to be strong enough to get out of it.
Going through this while pregnant. However i experience mild disorientation prior to being pregnant ( BUT i was breastfeeding and losing weight so hormonal and nutritional issues) My first big dizzy spell was sept. Then i seemed to not notice it come December. Then January hits and it progressively getting worse. I'm 23 weeks pregnant and just diagnosed with unilateral vest of my left ear. I'm about to quit my job because i can't do anything going on 1.5 weeks straight.
Can neck problems cause 24/7 swaying sensations, I've been like this for 6 months now? I've done many tests, and in my MRI, it came out that I have cervical kyphosis
Thank you for this! So helpful. I have visual motion sensitivity and have been diagnosed with PPPD. I’m light and noise sensitivity as well. Have you seen your program help people like that?
can you describe dizziness symptoms as dizziness can mean many things? It can be light-headedness, vertigo like the space around you is spinning, a feeling of ungroundedness or a feeling of walking on unsteady ground or like walking ono a boat or moving train or plane.
It can be all of those things as well as swaying, bobbing, rocking, trouble with looking at patterns, feeling like your eyes can’t focus, heaviness, walking on a trampoline, pressure…. And more. There’s a comprehensive list in the free course thesteadycoach.com/free-course
@thesteadycoach I had tests and the doctor said this means VM. Total caloric response is 31 deg/s with a 3% asymmetry to the right ECOG was normal response bilaterally VEMP- normal response bilaterally Audiogram Hearing WNL, excellent WRS TYMPS/ARs Tymps wnl. Rotary Chair Summary report SHA: low gain for .08 and .16 Hz only, Velocity step test: low gain for post-rotary right and per-rotary left consistent with left peripheral vestibular pathology, VVOR: high gain consistent with migraine, UC: abnormal left SVV consistent with left utricular dysfunction . Unilateral centrifugation SVV Center: Average is abnormal to LEFT; SVV Left: Average is abnormal to LEFT; SVV Right: wnl. . Does all this mean my brain isn’t predicting correct ? Will therapy help or are medications the only way to fix this?
Can PPPD make items that aren't moving look like they are? It's mostly if I look at patterns or busy environments, it looks like things are moving and almost swirling or rippling when I know that they are not.
I am a British mind/body therapist living in France with a diagnosis of pppd myself. I offer on line support and free resources in French to people living with neural circuit dizziness. I would love to chat if you ever have time. Thanks for all you do. 🙏
I’ve had for 3 years each day a lot of dizziness, unsteadiness, my main problems are that I don’t feel real (depersonalised) my ears are a huge problem always feel like one of full all the time then it will shift to the left side but also in my sinuses like a line pain from nose/sinus to ear it feels inflamed or like a bubble in my head it’s very un nerving living with this each day and it changes each day to a new ‘version’ of it, I find it hard to accept it while it’s different each day and where I have the fullness feel that side it’s on my eye has dizziness in it - had medical clearance, mri, ent clearance I just can’t live this way and have 3 young children, feels like it’s never going to get better or ever go away in my head
Hi Charissa, I'm so sorry you're going through this. You are not alone in this and recovery truly is possible. When people tell me their symptoms change every day, that's a home run for neural circuit dizziness- it HAS to be coming from a brain error if it's not medically explained.
@@TheSteadyCoach thanks for responding. I was diagnosed after feeling like I was going crazy and couldn’t leave my bedroom for a year with pppd and Mal debarquarment but had someone else tell me no I don’t have MDS I have vestibular migraines, I’m so confused lost and very scared for myself my life my future as I feel like I’m losing hope and don’t know what to do who to see what will work what doesn’t as I’ve tried heaps of things to get well again - any tips?
Less likely to result in loss of balance- but it can. This is why it’s super important to have structural and medical issues ruled out. If you’re having true balance issues, please see a vestibular PT!
Can we consider unilateral vestibular hypofunction in this criteria because i feel unsteady , imbalanced disoriented 24/7 since months. Its the most disturbing thing i am dealing since a year. As i get up from my bed I can't even do simple basic tasks which i would do easily , i feel these symptoms continuously when my head is in air. As my head is supported by pillow or when i am driving i feel completely fine. I can't even sit straight without head support i really fell so heavy in head , disoriented , swaying
Hi Dr yo. Thanks for your helpful videos. I live in a third country and the doctors don’t have that much information.I’m really worried. Nobody knows my answer. I want to ask , is it normal with pppd to feel like the ground has a magnet that dragging me down? Like I’m heavier and feel the gravitational pulling more ? Or this is just for mdds? Your help would be really appreciated. Thanks
Hello Ma'am.. I have been experiencing 24x7 dizziness since two years.. Its not spinning but swaying (On a boat feeling). All the blood test, CT scan and Vestibular test came normal.. My vestibular doctor says is 'PPPD with some features of Vestibular Migraine' (I have GAD too).. I spend most of the time scrolling my phone.. scrolling phone triggering my dizziness? Any help will be appreciated..
Have just found this channel and I have Peripheral vestibular dysfunction and an MRI found a vascular loop in my right ear and small vessel ishemic. I have experienced vile debilitating attacks for over 7 years and am currently on week 6 of my current attack, full ears , dizziness and heavy drifting eyes which is the worst part, I have found cinnarizine to be helpful , will taking this course address these physical ailments? and is it relevant for someone with physical vascular loops or Meiners disease?
This might be helpful. th-cam.com/video/20eS_sXTXBA/w-d-xo.html Regarding vascular loops, my suggestion is to ask your doctor point blank if that is responsible for all the symptoms. If it isn't, there is often a nervous system issue going on here too.
@@TheSteadyCoach Thank you so much, I am just going to the link, I will see the GP next week and will ask outright, though I don't think they will have a clue.
Ive been feeling off since 8th October. Felt like I was habing a panic attack one night out of the blue and have felt light headed, dizzy and just a weird feeling in my head ever since. Chest xray come back normal and I have a full blood test and ecg on friday. I can't function like this much longer
I just watched Daniel Lyman vidéo. Unfortunately It did not Help at all. Maybe I’m not in the right disease. I don’t have headache or eye problem. But as soon as I get up in the morning until I go to bed at night, my body turns, rocks, never stops, I walk like in a boat like in marshmallows. I had these sensations since 4 Years. And now it’s becoming worse. I could Fall. I’ m 74. Dizziness, lightheaddness, balance problem. I’thinking about going to the emergency… my ORL exam is good and my MRI also. What do you think? Thank you.
Hi Sylvie, it is really important to make sure there's nothing wrong medically that explains this. Worsening symptoms doesn't mean there's something physically wrong, but it is a good idea to be sure.
As long as there is no medical reason why you have symptoms. "Central" just means in the brain. Sometimes there's a physical problem in the brain and that is not a neural circuit issue. Sometimes there's no irreversible physical problem and it's a processing issue- that's a neural circuit issue.
Hello, thank you for the information, you could have not explained it any better. I have TBI, closed head injury .Causing head, Nuro problems, neck, throcic legimante injuries and lordis / ckydoris spine. I did RFA and I continue to have pppd and migraine headaches along with other symptoms. I want to ask you about hearing a pulse or as I hear my heart is pumping , my eyes keep pounding and going left and right as I am asleep or awake; which it gets stronger as I am still in bed barely waking up. I have to get up to slow it down. Would you say this is related to pppd or is it coming from the neck vegus nerves or other nerves near the neck. My right side neck muscles is larger now as well and I had an infection near it. Please help me
Hi Maryam, this can definitely have a medical cause, but physical anxiety can cause it too! It's hard to say which it is since you do have a history of nerve injuries.
Having a tough day so I’m re-watching some of your videos! I’ve been dizzy for 3 months now (MdDS) and my holistic doctor thinks all my dizziness is due to major inflammation. Could this be true or not so much?
"Inflammation" is such a general term - it's just a description of a state (that can be normal, by the way- we all have inflammation after we eat, for example). I get really suspicious when inflammation is blamed because we are not answering the question of WHY someone has inflammation (if that person indeed has chronic inflammation). I am biased because I help people through a psyschosocial lens, but we need to answer that question, and the answer is never purely biological.
I wonder if the inflammatory part is due to a hyper vigilant nervous system and being in fight flight a lot. I’ve read that that state does cause the body to release stress hormones like cortisol which, in my understanding, increases inflammation for a purpose. But if we are always on alert, we have it all the time? I wonder if that’s why I have to take so much anti inflammatory stuff or I get so much pain. Gotta heal the soul I guess

What Sevn said! I see no reason to avoid alcohol completely. I tell people not to overdo it, because you want to avoid feeling sick or hungover, but an occasional glass of wine is fine!
Did anybody else start crying when she said “your symptoms are real”? Omg that validation after so much medical gaslighting 😢
❤❤❤
I did... And I feel so grateful I've found this channel. Thanks thanks so much Dr. Yonit!! ❤️❤️
Yes for real 😢I even was asked if I was sure I wasn’t on drugs or anything
15 years of medical gaslighting as well as being told that my brain is so powerful that when there is something that I do not want to do it will make me sick 🤮 only got "answers" within the last 6 months
yes 😢
Completely bedridden after vestibular neuritis and a pppd diagnosis. 6 weeks of working with a specialist pt and now I can fully take care of myself again, doing the groceries, cooking, cycling for an hour and walking for 45 minutes. Yesterday I had dinner with friends for 2 hours. Still very much experiencing the symptoms but taking it a week at a time and staying hopeful. Everybody: you got this. Start small and work from there. Believe in your recovery and believe in yourself.
P.s I also meditate 2 times a day and follow dr. Yo’s somatic tracking affirmations during activity and do her breathing exercises 2 times a day.
I hope so
God bless your empathetic heart! Appreciate your good info! I am ready to take your couse. FROM chronic pain to Vestibualar migraine w/ 3PPD.
Hi Dr. Yo! For the past 6 weeks I’ve experienced 24/7 rocking, swaying, lightheadedness, ‘woosh’ feeling when I turn my head, extreme nausea, visual disturbances and of course the immense anxiety and sense of doom that accompanies all of these sensations. Less than 2 weeks ago I began your free course. A bunch of videos, somatic tracking, and a little introspection later my symptoms are down at least 90%. Thank you so so much for all of your work and making it available.
How are you doing now!
Dealing with this for 2+ years now. Did all tests and nothing came out. Your video explains my symptoms so nicely. Now I am much better. I would say am at 50% now and its subsiding but the recovery is no linear. One thing that is working for me is not sitting and hoping that this will go away. I sort of do the normal things and try and make my self feel i am fine. I don’t push myself too much, cause the self needs some love and kindness also. Anxiety and health anxiety after my initial panic attacks around 5-6 years ago may have led to this. But the cause could be way earlier as panic attacks come for a reason which is usually accumulated stuff over the previous years. This channel has been the only one that has sort of understood and been able to explain my symptoms. Difficult to explain to other people as what they can’t see they can’t believe. And this vertigo thing is difficult for people to believe and difficult to explain.
I am glad to hear of your progress, Kaustav! Thank you for trusting me in your healing journey!
Hey bro I am dealing with it what are your visual symptoms 😢
You are right - so difficult to explain…
Have you Mede full recovery yet
I'm so thankful to have found you!! Going on 9 months with horrible symptoms, a zillion tests, thousands spent, and zero help. Thank you for all you are doing to help us all.

@@marlac.876 off meds and dizzy
This is 100% accurate! I have been diagnosed with both MdDS and Vestibular Migraine (over 2 years ago but symptoms starts 7 years ago). None of the medications have worked for me and I have always known that I have needed to heal my anxiety, trauma, etc. (which is NOT EASY, especially when it is ongoing ie. Family).
Your content has given me hope and is changing my life! Thank you for all you do and share.
Incredible. I'm so glad you've been able to listen to your intuition. I really think that many people know this deep inside, it's just that they're givensuch confusing and contradicting messages from physicians and loved ones. And yes- having people in your life who have been involved in trauma and stress is a huge challenge, but as I talk about in the videos- it doesn't have to be perfect to get better- reducing fear of symptoms and working through emotions by just a bit is a huge help.
I too have had MDDS for 20+ years

My God.....your video is coming at the right timing. I cannot thank you enough. I am suffering from dizzy spells, swaying and balance issues. No tests can reveal anything. I am feeling frustrated and annoyed at this moment.
Thank you millions. Will get enrolled in your free course. You are doing a great job. Lots of blessings from us sufferers. 🙏
You're so very welcome. Thrilled you found my work at this point in your journey. I can't wait to hear about your progress.
I am crying. This is literally an answer to prayer. For the first time in several years I actually feel hopeful. You are describing exactly what my chiropractor (another answer to prayer) has been telling me. I plan to start your course immediately. Even just reading the comments on various videos on your channel give me hope. Thank you ❤
Keep going, Nancy! There is so much hope!
Yes! Take the course and consider joining the paid community as well if you have the financial resources. I found this video about seven months ago (as an answer to a prayer) and I am soooo much better already! This IS the way out!
I have been walking on a Trampoline for 2.5 yrs!! Had PT for 12 weeks , much bloodwork, brain scan, and not 1 Dr has Ever heard of PPPD !! I Have seen many of your videos... am going to work with you now !!!
Everyone I know tells me the symptoms are in my head. To ignore it, I have nothing because the doctors found nothing and I am having a horrible time not only with what I am dealing with but also loosing my job due to this and all kind of problems.
I am glad I saw this video and gave me hope.
You are not alone in this, Maria ❤
Thank you so much for this video. I have been diagnosed with suspected Meniere’s and VM as I’ve had two episodes of hearing loss in both ears with tinnitus, ear pressure and vertigo. However both times I recovered 100% of my hearing, tinnitus and pressure issues with steroids. BUT the dizziness would just not go away. Each day feels like I’m rocking on a boat and the doctors have no idea what to make of it when ears are in perfect condition. Got all sort of tests done and everything is absolutely normal. Now they aren’t even sure if I have Meniere’s or not.
Your channel has given me hope that this can be treated. Have enrolled in your free course and will be checking out all the content on your channel 🙏
Currently going through the same diagnosis. On steroids to see if my hearing bounces back. I believe if your hearing is able to recover 100% after episodes, it is just vestibular migraine symptoms! Read other stories of people getting misdiagnosed with Meniere’s at first but their hearing would come back.
Good luck and healing to you!
Knowledge is freedom. I found your channel after a research on the web because my 70 year old mother has been suffering from constant dizziness after a vestibular neuritis and even though we don't have a formal diagnosis for PPPD, I'm 100% sure that's what she has. I've done a lot of reading and this fits perfectly. Last year doctors made her an enormous amount of tests (neurological, visual and cardiological) so we are sure there is no other problem causing this. We live in Argentina and there are a few specialists in otoneurology here but they are not familiar with this diagnosis and method, so the only treatment is Vestibular rehabilitation therapy, but it has a ceiling. It's a HUGE relief having found your channel, because there is almost NOTHING in Spanish about this disabling condition. Today I showed her some of your videos and her mood and energy drastically changed. It's a small light for us and the people around us, who don't really understand completely what's happening. It's a very difficult thing to explain for those who don't live it constantly.
Hope and awareness are the key to a recovery. I just signed her up for the free course, with a lot of illusion. We'll not give up and I'll never leave her alone on this journey. Thank you, doctor! I will update this comment with news while she is doing the course. 🤩🌟🙌💪 Thanks for the support and we are not alone!!!
Hello, I was thinking in going back to Argentina to be treated since I have spent thousand of dollars and saw all doctors possible with no solution for me.
I thought I could be helped in a timely manner over there. I have been dealing with dizziness and loss of balance for 7 months now.
Omg I needed this so much. I was diagnosed with vestibular migraines. I also have extreme anxiety attacks that effect my heart rate and blood pressure constantly. I was thinking it was it was POTS but before I could be tested my doctor moved away and left me without medical care. I’m on waitlists but it’s going to be a long time. The only thing at the time that helped was Ativan. She had put me on 90 mg a month of Ativan for 3 years before she suddenly moved away. I had no idea how scary this medication is and the side effects of stopping taking it. I was recently forced to rapid taper into cold turkey instead of the recommended 5-10 percent taper. Now all of my symptoms I was experiencing have come back 10 fold. My dizziness and loss of balance and feeling like I’m falling is constant and it cues my anxiety attacks instantly. It’s a vicious cycle and I don’t know where to go for any help or validating advice until finding this now. I’m bursting into tears as we speak. This is such an absolute life saver of hope to be able to heal.
Hi Dr. Tonite;
Just watched this video, and you made a 59 year old man cry in a good way. At the end of your video you said and I quote “ You can fully recover”. Thats the first time in a very long time that I’ve heard anyone say there is a possibility I may get through this nightmare.
This video hit the nail on the head with my symptoms and my personality. I was driving today and experienced what felt like my eyes dancing in my head. Felt like my vision was blurring out like a wave. Time after time.
Very not good. Haven’t had that for a long time. Got so bad that I had to let my wife drive. I am suffering from some cold symptoms that’s effecting my ears as well. Just wanted to let you know I will be signing up for your course. I hope I hope this helps me, my life depends on it.
I want to thank you again for your videos. Your videos at the very least give us a bit of hope, when many of us had no hope.
Dirt Farmer Marc
It breaks my heart, Marc, that I’m the first person to tell you this - because it’s TRUE. I know you’re probably already into the course but just so you know- there is an updated section (free) coming in January that I think will be really helpful to you. Stay tuned- I will announce it here and via my newsletter.
@@TheSteadyCoach Good morning Dr. Yonit;
First of all I’m very sorry I miss spelled your name. I haven’t gotten into the course much so far, suffering from a bad cold right now. With a cold and this condition, you really don’t feel like doing anything. I will definitely stay tuned to your channel. This is some of the best news I’ve had in a long time.
Thank you again.

@@marclarochelle6590 did you get better
Yes I’m definitely better now. I do my regiment of exercises every morning, and slowly but surely things are getting better. The biggest hurdle is believing that things can get better, and being patient with the progress. I actually road a motorcycle a couple of weeks back, that was something I never thought I would ever do again. Like Dr. Yo says, You can and will get better, but it can be a long recovery. Never giving up is my motivation.
@@marclarochelle6590what exercises are you doing?
I can't even explain how I'm feeling right now..... My sleep study appointment doc pointed this out related to my symptoms. I honestly thought I was the only one feeling like this, and have trouble describing it to anyone. I've had this for the last 8 years and just now hearing about this. It's EXACTLY what's been going on with me! Time to get to work, I hope it hasn't been to long to fix my circuit! Thank you so much for putting this where people can see it! I was/am literally at the end of my rope!
Wow, this makes so much sense. My chronic dizzyness and vertigo began 2 months after my partner committed suicide. Thank you for your work.
Thank you for explaining dizzying episode's I have for years. I found it the most frightening time of my life
I wish I knew about you before now
I'm so glad this explanation helped. Understanding is a huge step.
Oh my goodness THANK YOU! I've had cervogentic vertigo for 5 years that comes on with stress and anxiety which causes my muscles to spasm in my neck and head. It started after a traumatic home birth of my daughter. I just registered for your course. I'm in tears thankful for some answers and hope and that I can heal. Thank you. God Bless
Dear Dr Yonit, God sent you I swear, I’m so grateful, you’re an angel.
I suffer from imbalance, sense of floating, and I can’t stand/sit still.
The hardest thing for me is to NOT feel threat when I have to sit in a church or in every place where I shouldn’t move or go out. Every time I tried, it was a nightmare. It’s getting worse, no matter how brave I was to go into that “dangerous” situation.
I wonder how I can escape from this, but I hope I’m going to find solution with you and God.
Thanks again!❤
❤️❤️❤️ stay tuned, we just had a mentor panel on God and the role of spirituality in healing. Coming soon.
You are very good at what you do and your videos have become a big part of my work to understand and live alongside my symptoms. Thank you.
Peter! This is so unexpected and generous. Thank you SO much for the support. It is entirely my privilege to help.
Thank you for saying our symptoms are real it really made me feel that you understand 😢
They ARE real!
This video is a great synopsis of the how, why and what of chronic dizziness. I encourage anyone who sees this and hasn’t yet taken your free course to do so. It’s well done and well worth the time.
I realized I didn't have a "basics" video yet and it was needed!
Brilliant thank you I suffer so bad.. Now getting double vision it really sucks this anxiety panick etc
This is the most helpful and real information out there on this.
Thanks Dr. Yonit. I’ve watched you in the past and on 12/8/23 I had an appt with Dr. Kristin Steenerson at Stanford and she recommended you! You are a gift to our Unsteady Community.
I actually have physical vestibular damage and I’m working with Dr. Steenerson in some other areas, but she pointed me to you for the “fight or flight” component of my constellation of diagnoses.
Thank you!
Oh how fabulous. Dr. Steenerson is an incredible doctor and person. I am so happy you are in her care.
@@TheSteadyCoach I feel very fortunate for sure. It will be a long road to recovery and involve meds, long trips out of town to a Stanford vestibular therapist - but mostly the WILL to persevere, which is my weak link. Three years on this rocking boat already and I’ve kind of given up.
yes, "cant focus your vision, like your vision is bouncing around", thats the closest accurate description of my major post-covid long symptoms. i feel like im very subtly but consistently being jostled as if im on an amusement park ride with the shaking and clink-clinking of the car as it roughly travels along the cog system. or like im in a car riding on a rocky dirt road and my vision is shaky, also sometimes my eyes will just un-focus a second after i try to focus on a point, they'll kinda blur out as if my eyes r tired. some days i almost feel snow-blind, yet i can see, yet something seems off or static-y. it feels visual but also feels a bit equalibrium/inner-ear related all at once.
❤thanks for all the great info, i'll have to keep in the loop with your channel. very interesting !
You are so welcome, Annie! The visual stuff is wacky but pretty universal for people with dizziness. From my experience, post covid symptoms are the same thing (as long as medical issues have been ruled out).
Thank you so much. Been dealing with this for over a year, and this is a real breakthrough for me.
I am so glad you found this video, Noelle ❤
This happened to me Nov 20th and Nov 29th. I went to the e.r. Nov 20th I passed out at my desk. My dad picked me up and took me to the e r. 2nd time via EMS. Thought I was falling through my bed. Had a break down. Was terrified and call 911. The " behavior health " center has me on Lexapro. Im 43 and its my first health problem. I had ct scans and xrays and eveeything and they told me im just dealing with anxiety. My biggest problem since November of 2023 has been the dizzy vertigo feelings. In the beginning i had to lay down alot. Thankfully my job is on my side. This video has taught me alot. I dobt think the Lexapro is doing anything. I've been on it 5 weeks. Part of my stress us im gaving a house built. Perhaps thats part of my anxiety. Im not sure. I am always dizzy. The first attack my feet were definitely like jello.

I have a knee replacement coming up too, so it's been a lot. Going now to your other videos! 🏃♂
I’m so glad this one cleared it up, Christina! There is nothing worse than being told what you’re going through is not real- but it’s also just as bad to be told it’s an irreversible problem. I don’t think either of those are true.
@@TheSteadyCoach I went to my first Vestibular PT session and omg. The therapist explained the same thing you did, I am SO glad I found you first which enabled me to have a grasp on all of this. Had I not I don't know that I would have been so receptive, simply because I wouldn't have understood. She asked me so many questions etc, the first time anyone listened to me! One session and I am telling you, there's like a 60% improvement. I even went to the grocery store today for the first time in months. Now I see why you have all these amazing comments in your videos!!!
I have lots of earwax and dermatitis but my ear doctor doesn't seem to be able to do much about the dizziness I have been feeling for at least a year. I am in therapy for anxiety and my dizziness symptoms have made me feel so unsure and scared of the outside world that I started feeling agoraphobic!! Ugh. It sucks. Hope I'll feel better. This is such a good an encouraging channel!!!!
You're totally in the right place, Martina. I have seen people develop agoraphobia from this and then get back to life once they understood what was going on. It won't take place overnight but you can do this!!
I have chronic dizziness along with unsteadiness along with jaw pain I have seen many Dr's ENT, Neurologist had MRI's CT scans VNG test, blood work etc that all come back negative. The first ENT Dr said that I had TMJ, so I went to a so called TMJ Dental Specialist who made me a splint to wear, but $4,000.00 later he told me that this might not get rid of my dizziness of which it hasn't and I still even have the jaw pain along with dizziness and headaches. I've read many articles that TMJ can cause these things but now I'm confused and don't know were to go maybe I have both TMJ and PPPD. At least watching your channel gives me some hope.

Finding this video today, I truly believe god sent this to me. I have been dealing with this for about 9 months and have been the most depressed I’ve ever been in my entire life. I’ve been to doctor after doctor and one ENT who sent me for a hearing test (which I passed) and an MRI which was normal and still she said she “believes” I have Ménière’s Disease and sent me on my merry way.

Aww, Susan, thank you so much! Thank you for trusting me ❤
This is great! I wish I'd had this the first time I experienced these symptoms 13 years ago. The only thing I would quibble with is the idea that psychological or psychosomatic symptoms are not "real". Everything you perceive is equally real, whether it comes from external or internal processes. I understand that people feel that if their problems are described as psychological that it is invalidating, but I think we should emphasize that symptoms with their origins in the brain are not actually lesser and are in fact just as real as anything else (which you have said, I just feel like demonizing the word "psychological" doesn't really help).
Totally agree with you, definitely a bit of a dilemma regarding using the word psychological, but I do know that I am apt to alienate people when describing it that way. I think we as a society need to have a total paradigm shift about how we dichotomize psychological vs physical ailments. In the meantime, I'm trying to meet people where they're at.
@@TheSteadyCoach Makes sense. Your videos are great!
Did you recover from this ?
Thank you for all your videos and great information. Do you have a video on vestibular paroxysmia?
I do not specifically, but I suspect that many cases of vestibular paroxysmia are neural circuit conditions.
@@TheSteadyCoach interesting thank you. I was told that it's damage to the vestibular nerve.
Im so glad that i found this channel. After getting covid vaccine and getting COvid a few days after, i started having diziness from feburary 1st i was put on betahistine, motion sickness pills, duloxetine to see if it was psychological. Ive had MRI, blood tests and seen an ENT and done an eye test. The GPs keep telling me everything is normal and that nothing can be done. Its been 10+ months and im so miserable and so scared that this could be MS
You're in the right place, Maryam. I know it's terrifying because the symptoms can be so debilitating and intense, but if you've had the medical tests clear you, you're dealing with neural circuit dizziness.
@@TheSteadyCoach thank you so much for your fast response, i guess recently ive had some hope knowing im not alone, even tho not having a diagnosis is horrible. Neural circut diziness is it consistant? Because i have the diziness 24 hours a day since it started in the 11 months, it has not stopped a second to give me a break. And is it possible to recover from it or do i have to live with it ? Xxx

It’s been 11 months now and I still have persistent dizziness and all the other symptoms mentioned in this video. All of my tests are clear and I am going to vestibular therapy which is helpful but it doesn’t eliminate dizziness. Here and there I get really bad vertigo attacks and all the same symptoms gets worse. I hope you get well soon.
@kanwalbibi9180 I got the covid vaccines also and they made me super nonstop dizzy. Has your dizziness gotten better? If so, what did you do.
Yup so many of us got this from the vaccine / covid - 3 years here
Thank you so much. Sending you so much lvoe from Ireland
You're very welcome, cG! ❤
Very informative video. I have been to many doctors and no one has explained it so clearly. I have been feeling like this for 11 months now and I will do anything to get better. Do you any patients who get brain zaps? I black out for a second which is so scary.
Yes! Brain zaps are common with neural circuit dizziness. So glad you found this explanation helpful.
@@TheSteadyCoach thank you 🙏
Why are my symptoms so bad at night, adrenal rushes, heat rushes, dizziness, heart palpitations are super bad . DrYo pls help

Please consider taking the course!!! We have had several people come through the membership community and heal from post concussion syndrome. The course is free. thesteadycoach.com/free-course
@@TheSteadyCoach uau. Really?! Im gonna look into that! Thank you soooooo much! In portugal i cant get anyone to address this. Neurologists are all brainwashed!
Dr.Yo, One more great video from you, very well explained. I understood that, there are two possibilities for recovery, turn down the danger mode (or) stop brain making incorrect predictions of danger. I would like to know if there's a way to address the root cause, that is, stop brain making wrong predictions of danger with the sensory inputs (or) tell the brain that these are wrong predictions and not real danger.
Hi Senthil, a lot of it is emotional expression and awareness. For many people, it's relatively simple to do on your own by learning to be aware of and accepting of your emotions in the moment, and reminding yourself you're safe and allowed to feel emotions. There is an update to the course coming in January that expands on this. If there is trauma, it needs to be re-worked so the memories of it are not sending the brain into fear mode as much and that as is best done with a therapist.
For me my dizziness is worse indoors especially dimly lit. I feel it more when I'm still if I'm walking outside I feel almost 'normal'. But at night when I'm in bed i feel like my bed is moving or my legs are sinking into it. All of this happened since I had a huge panic attack that brought on vertigo that lasted a few minutes but ever since then I've been like this.
I actually had the same problem in 2015 for months in the end it went on its own but now it feel like it's affecting me worse since my home life has changed drastically.
I am sorry you are going through this. You are not alone! There is hope!
I have the exact same feelings
I have the same exact sensations and same exact experiences that lead to how I feel. But there has been plenty of improvement, so there is hope. I love this channel. It has given me a lot of peace. Thank you so much Dr Yonit! I will be taking your course for sure.
What are your thoughts if you also have a pots diagnosis but most of the vertigo swaying whooshing happens supine?
everything you are saying makes so much sense but I cant get it out of my head that it is my neck or spine causing these symptoms and I would need neck surgery because that is what my PCP told me in the being of this. Then she told me my anxiety was making the symptoms worse and no doctor would treat me until I go my anxiety under control so she put me on an anxiety medication which made me so sick. But my ent and neurologist said it's coming from my ear and balance center. But in the back of my head I believe its my neck. This video has all my symptoms which over the last year and a half have subsided because I am going for PT. Hopefully they eventually go away.
Thank you so much… actually. Grateful 🎉
You're very welcome, Vaneeta! Thank you for trusting me! ❤
I have chronic pain and I am trying to training my body again and mind. I am struggling with the vision nysama also and pppd as things are moving around me all the time and with increasing activity I get neck /shoulder stiffness and I hear the heart pounding in my right ear and I can’t get rid of the tintuis and eyes getting blurry even though my vision is perfect. Appreciate any advice that would help me. I listen to piano music most of the time to manage keep anxiety down. Thank you for the information and I ll listen to all your videos and look forward to hearing from you. Mirvat

Hello, does Infra-Low Frequency Neurofeedback (ILF NF) work?
These are me 100%. So much stress.
It is so hard to get out of danger mode. I almost fainted at the store a week ago and my symptoms have skyrocketed since then. I tried going to the store two more times since then and as soon as I walk in, I start to feel faint. I KNOW this is a bad circuit, but I don’t know how to be strong enough to get out of it.
Dr. Yo. Would Meniere's Disease also be considered "medically unexplained" dizziness along with VM, maldebarqument, VN etc?
Ask Dr. Yo: is Meniere's Disease neural circuit dizziness? What's the difference between them?

@@TheSteadyCoach Wow. That video is so informative. Thank you!
Going through this while pregnant. However i experience mild disorientation prior to being pregnant ( BUT i was breastfeeding and losing weight so hormonal and nutritional issues) My first big dizzy spell was sept. Then i seemed to not notice it come December. Then January hits and it progressively getting worse. I'm 23 weeks pregnant and just diagnosed with unilateral vest of my left ear. I'm about to quit my job because i can't do anything going on 1.5 weeks straight.
I'm sorry you're going through this.
Can neck problems cause 24/7 swaying sensations, I've been like this for 6 months now? I've done many tests, and in my MRI, it came out that I have cervical kyphosis
Same! Did you ever get answers?
Thank you for this! So helpful. I have visual motion sensitivity and have been diagnosed with PPPD. I’m light and noise sensitivity as well. Have you seen your program help people like that?
Yes
God bless you🙏
can you describe dizziness symptoms as dizziness can mean many things? It can be light-headedness, vertigo like the space around you is spinning, a feeling of ungroundedness or a feeling of walking on unsteady ground or like walking ono a boat or moving train or plane.
It can be all of those things as well as swaying, bobbing, rocking, trouble with looking at patterns, feeling like your eyes can’t focus, heaviness, walking on a trampoline, pressure…. And more. There’s a comprehensive list in the free course thesteadycoach.com/free-course
Yes!!! I feel like walking on a boat!
Wondering if Severe Motion sickness and strain tracking objects in motion is a symptom that would fall under this?
Yes! Assuming there is no medical or physical cause for the symptoms.
Hi Dr yonit I also have tinnitus with my dizziness. Can this be cured? X
Great informative video!
Thank you!
@thesteadycoach I had tests and the doctor said this means VM. Total caloric response is 31 deg/s with a 3% asymmetry to the right ECOG was normal response bilaterally VEMP- normal response bilaterally Audiogram Hearing WNL, excellent WRS TYMPS/ARs Tymps wnl. Rotary Chair Summary report SHA: low gain for .08 and .16 Hz only, Velocity step test: low gain for post-rotary right and per-rotary left consistent with left peripheral vestibular pathology, VVOR: high gain consistent with migraine, UC: abnormal left SVV consistent with left utricular dysfunction . Unilateral centrifugation SVV Center: Average is abnormal to LEFT; SVV Left: Average is abnormal to LEFT; SVV Right: wnl. .
Does all this mean my brain isn’t predicting correct ? Will therapy help or are medications the only way to fix this?
Thank you ❤❤❤🎉🎉🎉

Can PPPD make items that aren't moving look like they are? It's mostly if I look at patterns or busy environments, it looks like things are moving and almost swirling or rippling when I know that they are not.
Yes, definitely
I am a British mind/body therapist living in France with a diagnosis of pppd myself. I offer on line support and free resources in French to people living with neural circuit dizziness.
I would love to chat if you ever have time.
Thanks for all you do. 🙏
I would love to talk to you! Info@thesteadycoach.com
I you had like this for years? But you have learn it now is it possible to heal so many years of trouble?
Yes, I have had clients that have recovered and had been suffering for decades. It is possible!
Do you see patients in personal?
I’ve had for 3 years each day a lot of dizziness, unsteadiness, my main problems are that I don’t feel real (depersonalised) my ears are a huge problem always feel like one of full all the time then it will shift to the left side but also in my sinuses like a line pain from nose/sinus to ear it feels inflamed or like a bubble in my head it’s very un nerving living with this each day and it changes each day to a new ‘version’ of it, I find it hard to accept it while it’s different each day and where I have the fullness feel that side it’s on my eye has dizziness in it - had medical clearance, mri, ent clearance I just can’t live this way and have 3 young children, feels like it’s never going to get better or ever go away in my head
Hi Charissa, I'm so sorry you're going through this. You are not alone in this and recovery truly is possible. When people tell me their symptoms change every day, that's a home run for neural circuit dizziness- it HAS to be coming from a brain error if it's not medically explained.
@@TheSteadyCoach thanks for responding. I was diagnosed after feeling like I was going crazy and couldn’t leave my bedroom for a year with pppd and Mal debarquarment but had someone else tell me no I don’t have MDS I have vestibular migraines, I’m so confused lost and very scared for myself my life my future as I feel like I’m losing hope and don’t know what to do who to see what will work what doesn’t as I’ve tried heaps of things to get well again - any tips?
Y do I feel so much fear , I don’t go no where
Thank you so much for these video because there are days where I feel defeated.
I have a question, would loss of balance be included?
Less likely to result in loss of balance- but it can. This is why it’s super important to have structural and medical issues ruled out. If you’re having true balance issues, please see a vestibular PT!
Where do I find the free link
thesteadycoach.com/free-course can't wait to hear about your progress!
Can we consider unilateral vestibular hypofunction in this criteria because i feel unsteady , imbalanced disoriented 24/7 since months. Its the most disturbing thing i am dealing since a year. As i get up from my bed I can't even do simple basic tasks which i would do easily , i feel these symptoms continuously when my head is in air. As my head is supported by pillow or when i am driving i feel completely fine. I can't even sit straight without head support i really fell so heavy in head , disoriented , swaying
Hi Dr yo. Thanks for your helpful videos.
I live in a third country and the doctors don’t have that much information.I’m really worried. Nobody knows my answer.
I want to ask , is it normal with pppd to feel like the ground has a magnet that dragging me down? Like I’m heavier and feel the gravitational pulling more ? Or this is just for mdds?
Your help would be really appreciated. Thanks
Yes- this is absolutely a symptom of PPPD.
I have these symptoms too...very strange
Is it too late to get the workbook? I keep signing up for it but it never arrives?
Hello Ma'am.. I have been experiencing 24x7 dizziness since two years.. Its not spinning but swaying (On a boat feeling). All the blood test, CT scan and Vestibular test came normal.. My vestibular doctor says is 'PPPD with some features of Vestibular Migraine' (I have GAD too).. I spend most of the time scrolling my phone.. scrolling phone triggering my dizziness? Any help will be appreciated..
Have just found this channel and I have Peripheral vestibular dysfunction and an MRI found a vascular loop in my right ear and small vessel ishemic. I have experienced vile debilitating attacks for over 7 years and am currently on week 6 of my current attack, full ears , dizziness and heavy drifting eyes which is the worst part, I have found cinnarizine to be helpful , will taking this course address these physical ailments? and is it relevant for someone with physical vascular loops or Meiners disease?
This might be helpful. th-cam.com/video/20eS_sXTXBA/w-d-xo.html
Regarding vascular loops, my suggestion is to ask your doctor point blank if that is responsible for all the symptoms. If it isn't, there is often a nervous system issue going on here too.
@@TheSteadyCoach Thank you so much, I am just going to the link, I will see the GP next week and will ask outright, though I don't think they will have a clue.
Ive been feeling off since 8th October. Felt like I was habing a panic attack one night out of the blue and have felt light headed, dizzy and just a weird feeling in my head ever since. Chest xray come back normal and I have a full blood test and ecg on friday. I can't function like this much longer
I hope you get some answers soon, Josh. Make sure there is nothing medical going on that explains it.
Is it possible to regain the loss of sense of balance and heal from disequilibrium and mdds type symptoms after 5.5 years? Thank you
Yes! I will be interviewing someone on my channel who recovered from this after 21 years.
@@TheSteadyCoach looking forward to it.. I never want to think about my balance again just have it again etc
I just watched Daniel Lyman vidéo. Unfortunately It did not Help at all. Maybe I’m not in the right disease. I don’t have headache or eye problem. But as soon as I get up in the morning until I go to bed at night, my body turns, rocks, never stops, I walk like in a boat like in marshmallows. I had these sensations since 4 Years. And now it’s becoming worse. I could Fall. I’ m 74. Dizziness, lightheaddness, balance problem. I’thinking about going to the emergency… my ORL exam is good and my MRI also. What do you think? Thank you.
Hi Sylvie, it is really important to make sure there's nothing wrong medically that explains this. Worsening symptoms doesn't mean there's something physically wrong, but it is a good idea to be sure.
Is the course useful for those with vestibular migraines?
💯 yes
Does this apply for someone whose VNG test has come back w positive findings for central vertigo? But mri came up clean
As long as there is no medical reason why you have symptoms. "Central" just means in the brain. Sometimes there's a physical problem in the brain and that is not a neural circuit issue. Sometimes there's no irreversible physical problem and it's a processing issue- that's a neural circuit issue.
@@TheSteadyCoachmy symptoms began with a bad reaction to ssri medication
Do you have any insight on this? I really truly appreciate your reply
Hello, thank you for the information, you could have not explained it any better. I have TBI, closed head injury .Causing head, Nuro problems, neck, throcic legimante injuries and lordis / ckydoris spine. I did RFA and I continue to have pppd and migraine headaches along with other symptoms. I want to ask you about hearing a pulse or as I hear my heart is pumping , my eyes keep pounding and going left and right as I am asleep or awake; which it gets stronger as I am still in bed barely waking up. I have to get up to slow it down. Would you say this is related to pppd or is it coming from the neck vegus nerves or other nerves near the neck. My right side neck muscles is larger now as well and I had an infection near it. Please help me
Hi Maryam, this can definitely have a medical cause, but physical anxiety can cause it too! It's hard to say which it is since you do have a history of nerve injuries.
Having a tough day so I’m re-watching some of your videos! I’ve been dizzy for 3 months now (MdDS) and my holistic doctor thinks all my dizziness is due to major inflammation. Could this be true or not so much?
"Inflammation" is such a general term - it's just a description of a state (that can be normal, by the way- we all have inflammation after we eat, for example). I get really suspicious when inflammation is blamed because we are not answering the question of WHY someone has inflammation (if that person indeed has chronic inflammation). I am biased because I help people through a psyschosocial lens, but we need to answer that question, and the answer is never purely biological.
I wonder if the inflammatory part is due to a hyper vigilant nervous system and being in fight flight a lot. I’ve read that that state does cause the body to release stress hormones like cortisol which, in my understanding, increases inflammation for a purpose. But if we are always on alert, we have it all the time? I wonder if that’s why I have to take so much anti inflammatory stuff or I get so much pain. Gotta heal the soul I guess
Just a question please . Can the menopause bring on MDDS?? I also have central Sensitivity and CFS.

Thank you for another beautiful video! I have PPPD, do you think I can have an occasional glass of wine? What about coffee? Thanks
I drink a lot of coffee, doesn't seem to contribute to my problems any different from when I completely avoided it actually things have gotten a lot better
What Sevn said! I see no reason to avoid alcohol completely. I tell people not to overdo it, because you want to avoid feeling sick or hungover, but an occasional glass of wine is fine!
