- Vestibular neuritis is a common cause of vertigo. It can be quite terrifying but usually gets better for almost everyone. Dr. Evans discusses this condition and the best ways to treat it.
It's been 2 years since my initial onset of vestibular neuritis. I am about 85% back to normal, but driving and flying still makes me nauseous. It's been the worst thing I've ever dealt with. A page of symptoms long that I couldn't explain. Best of luck in everyone's recovery!
Im just over two years..
Im about 80% trying to recover...
Lately tho its been as bad as when i first had it...it feels like vertigo is going to hit me suddenly but it doesnt eventuate, not sure y ..
My anxiety is through the roof which doesnt help at all..
Daily battle, some days are so good , feels like i dont have VN , tbh i think this is best ill get , hope im wrong.

Thank you so much for sorting through this condition. You're right. It's miserable.
I've been like this for about 9 years and its getting worse! The doctors havn't got a clue! I'm at my wits end.
i had a sinus infection and then this dizziness started.
I've been like this for a year!!
And the most common neurological cause of recurring vertigo is Vestibular Migraine. If you have had over 5 episodes of rotatory vertigo, along with some other diagnostic criteria, you MAY have vestibular migraine (which often presents without headache.) just FYI for anyone watching this video looking for all the possible answers.
thank you so much! I intuitively done everything rightand trained myself every day by taking a ride on my bike for 20-30 minutes long!
In my case a dormant herpes virus got latent active again, 4 weeks after I recovered from Omikron. It started with being sensible towards the wind when riding bike. Then I had two days long mild pain in my ears, left more present than right. On the third day I woke up with much dizzyness, went to work for a couple of hours and went back home since I could keep nothing inside me. I puked the first two days, and was strong enough to see a doctor on the 3rd day, but being out of bed was extremly exhausting and tirering. However my physician could not find anything but an increased blood pressure , and he saw no signs of an ear infection. I had an appointment with an ear specialist on day 5.
I still felt like drunk, was extremly tired, sweat a lot just by sitting in the waiting room. He also found no signs of an infection and tests excluded the possibility of stuck kernels in the vestibular organ. Day 9: Since I repeated that I feel like drunk and tired, I was brought to the neurological emergency room. I got some scans there: No stroke either. So they let me go home since they all were clueless.
Then I read what I could find on the Internet and found a couple of doctors who descibed exactely how I felt: An Herpes Infection of the vestibular nerve, also possible: a flashbak of the chicken pox, however, they would have noticed rashes in my ears if it were chickenpox.
So I drank every day 1,5 liter lemon balm tea since that works best against herpes, and 1,5 Liter St. Johns Wort tea, since thats a potent virus killer, too. I fasted for 12 days long since that mobilizes the immune system and took each day one pill of lysin amino-acid since viruses cannot reproduce anymore after taking lysin within their construction process, which reduces their number and buys time for the immunesystem . After 18 days I had the feeling I was fully awake and the dizzyness has gone
Hey Stephen
I have experience similar symptoms from HSV1 infection last month.
My vertigo symptoms are gone but i have crazy brain fog and memory issues.
Did you experience the same? I am glad you are feeling better and are out of this nightmare
@@susan7800 Yes! Brain fog was in the first two weeks that extrem that I felt being drunk. And eventhough my condition got better after two weeks, I still felt it 2 months long, also the memory loss - although THATS tough to determine since I am constantly affected by my ADHD and because Im constantly exposed to much stress at work and still get some flashbacks of the two burnouts I had (2006 and 2015). Memory loss is also a sign of being emotionally, mentally or physically exhausted and/or sleeploss, insomnia, having too much coffee and other stimulants. But I really think its safe to say that the symptoms vanished completely after 2 months and that symptom was related to vertigo. Just mentioning it, so you will also take your personal environtmental conditions into consideration.
However, since the new variants of Omikron PLUS the regular cold have been spreading much lately (Frankfurt/Germany), I noticed that my neurodermitis got worse, which means Im currently fighting some infections. All tests have been negative so far, but they are not really reliably detectors. I wake up every morning with itchy feet and hands, and I feel some snort from the sinuses running done my throat. So, I probably caught some cold recently, but the viruses I have been exposed to in the last 4 weeks have not really given me serious symptoms EXCEPT THAT I experience some flashbacks of the dizzyness again - maybe three times a day. Then I feel for a brief moment how the room is tilting top over .. that just lasts for a few seconds and then it gets instantly good again.
Im not sure if my brain is playing me tricks since I have a history of neurological issues. Never underestimate the Pavlow Effect. But their is a possibility that every new infection triggers the herpes in addition. Keep in mind that you will barely get totally rid of dormant infections. There are some theories of how to manage that, but thats an other story
If you want to be sure its an active Herpes, consider getting tested the next time you feel having it. When herpes gets active again, there is a second type of antibody which can be detected then.
I hope you've recovered and are doing fine now 🤗 Warm greetings from Frankfurt!
PS : Lemonbalm and St. Johns Wort are potent Virus killers . While lemonbalm is quite tasty, St. Johns Wort is more like honey sweetened hay ... not bad, but kind of weird taste. You will get used to it. Uhm ... its also a potent anti-depressant drug. Regardless if you have depressions or not, it will brighten your mood. That might confuse your people around you when you start to giggle about most things 😅
Very helpful. Thank you.
Hey, thanks for this Video! It was very informatic :) Im searching for the Link in the Infobox with the exercises? Neither found them on the Website. Can u put the link in pls ? :) Thank you
Thank you so much
Thank you
I know Weedborn has the best CBD products ever.
Can you have it in both ears at the same time? I got comfy earbuds, and started wearing them all the time, even slept in them (they cancel noise very well!). I’m on day 11, and Epley, the barrel roll, and somersault maneuvers did nothing to help. Didn’t even bring on any “dizzy” episodes. I’m not spinning, it’s more like walking on a boat that’s on the ocean. My earbud case looks very dirty. I didn’t notice before. And my ears kinda hurt deep inside like I’ve stuffed earplugs deep into them. I’ve dropped my earbuds, just blew on them, and put them back. Yikes!
I’m feeling a little better now after some Motrin, ear ache drops, and no -drowsy Claritin. 🙏🏻
Such an amazing video and helped me greatly I want to thank you.. so I was rushed to ER I had COVID and day after I tested negative everything started spinning I was told by an ENT specialist I have Viral Labyrinthitis
Vestibular neuronitis so scary .. I am wondering how long this lasts as I live alone and terrified thank you doctor 😊
Did you have (tinnitus) ringing in the ears?
1 or 2 days lol.. its about 4 weeks now. It was honestly almost gone during the third week but the past 2 nights it seemd to come back a bit.
Hi how u doing now I got thes in October it was just dizziness cuz medicine I took and on November I was so bad and till now things get better but I'm still dizzy from mu right side please let me know if there's a hope
@@hindasad8745 So I got these symptoms back in january and now its december. my dizziness is not bad and it isnt constant anymore. Its more like if I move different directions fast, I notice it. But its not constant or a huge problem anymore. I still get random head pressure and burning pain in my forehead that goes down to my arms and previously to my legs but 90% in my forehead. I usually also get a bit light headed/dizziness when it happens but not constant. Got my neck mri results today finally and they found nothing, so that was good to know that I dont have sclerosis or anything forming. I did head mris earlier in the year and they found nothing as well. Overall im just tryin to live my life normally lately but still dont feel like working. What kind of testing have you had done and what did doctors say?. Id get all your vitamins and minerals tested and heavy metals with extensive blood testing. Also make sure youre not getting carbon monoxide poisoning in your house. Keep a detector. Hope you are well sir
I was misdiagnosed 3 times at the ER before going to my ENT who
instantly recognized my problem as Vestibular Neuritis. It came out of
nowhere. I have it now going on 30 days. I was put on Prednisone for
about 3 weeks. The spinning is almost gone. My biggest concern is I had a
total shoulder replacement 12 weeks ago and was trying not to fall over
on it.
It's now going on 3 months, and it's about 90% gone. No problems driving, even took out my Harley, yeah that was interesting. When I get off the bike I look like I've had too much to drink. I feel the vertigo mostly when I'm walking. Feels like I'm walking on a water bed. Good thing I'm 70, I'd hate to have to live like this.
May I ask what you’ve been doing to make it go away?
@@angiexo5850 Sorry I just saw this question. In one month I will have had this condition for 2 years. It doesn't effect me when I'm sitting down or even driving my P/U. Just while I'm walking do I feel foggy headed. On a side note my short term memory is gone.
Going through this now and I'm miserable. I do not see the notes or exercises listed.
We have lots more of these if you have time to view them, we understand you are a busy practitioner. th-cam.com/video/qpHq0rsjx3c/w-d-xo.html
I have been in this many years BPP I used betaserc . Dr I want to ask I hate medicine because I used it for many years do you think when I stop it and start doing exercise I will not used it again ? Plz answer my question thank you doc
Today marks 6 months since My Vertigo suddenly began 30 days after having a total left shoulder replacement and sleeping in a Lazy-boy since I couldn't lay on my side in bed.
My ENT diagnosed this a Vestibular Neuritis. My Physical Therapist said I had a crystal in my ear. When I do the Epley Maneuver my right eye spins for about 6 sec. I have now done the Epley over 100 times. Nothing. I'd be willing to pay anyone for the right answer. That would beat living the rest of my life like this. I walk about 5 miles a day trying to shake this. When I decided to graduate to riding a bicycle my head started to spin and I slid across a sidewalk and face first into a rock wall. Yeah that didn't work.
Has realizado ejercicios vestibulares? Quizás si tengas neuritis pero las maniobras de epley no te ayudsarán ya que una cosa son los cristales y lo otro es una inflamación del nervio
Ed Rhoads do you have sinus infecyion inner ear verity dizzy
I've got nystagmus and very heavy eye flutters on both eyes, usually upper and lower eyelids. I have also been diagnosed with POTS Syndrome/general 'dysautonomia' aka autonomic dysfunction that nobody knows what to do about. Can autonomic issues or POTS result from a balance disorder? My VNG was quite abnormal and also revealed Hippus. The faster the movements, the more deviation I had. I was diagnosed by a functional neurologist who my MD docs don't believe, but he has so far given me more info about my body malfunctions than they have and they seem jealous. I litearlly can't work because I'm so lightheaded. Blood rushes to my feet/legs from the POTS. The eye fluttering 24/7 and the lightheadedness and 'tight' feeling on each side of my head near the temples, side of the head and also down the neck on both sides is very irritating daily. My whole body does weird/jumpy stuff and the functional neurologist felt that my frontal lobe is overwhelmed with unfiltered information and that the middle brain is malfunctioning causing the nystagmus. They try to retrain the brain to not malfunction, essentially..which the MD docs don't agree with. They'd rather give me meds that don't work for the rest of my life. I also get nauseous/lightheaded/dizzy, feel like I'm not walking straight and near-syncope when standing.
I've also been diagnosed with autonomic dysfunction(dysautonomia),and also had a VNG which was positive for vestibular dysfunction,testing also done by my neurologist. I've had all of the symptoms since childhood in which i've had had all the childhoogdillnesses like the chicken pox,mumps,measles in which these,and different "viruses" have been shown to cause vestibular dysfuntion. I really don't know the answer to what came first espescially when both disorders can cause many of the same symptoms,but for me specifically i'm thinking that the viruses that caused my childhood illnesses set off the vestibular disorder in which caused "Mine",and mine alone,becuase there are other things that i'm sure that can cause this disorder
I am also having this problem. But I want to mention that I am having breathing issues as well. It’s so scary. When I had this for the first time I went immediately to the ER but there everything was normal.
Why does that happen ?
I met 2 neurologists and they both said everything is ok.
I had it too. It's the anxiety thY causing it. Expect to get heart palpitations.
That might be anxiety
I only have some minor dizziness and balance issues I don't really have vertigo I drink a lot and I've noticed that every time I drink it tends to make it worse is this possible? It's like it won't heal if I don't take a long period without it
I starting having vertigo when I used earplugs long-term to sleep at night.
Did you get better?
@@vee9133
Yes, I am better! I don't need to use earplugs very often anymore.
Can extreme sensitivity to motion be a symptom or aftermath of vestibular neuritis? After a few weeks of intense dizziness and vertigo that has now subsided, I now cannot move the slightest bit without feeling motion sick. Even just moving my eyes around and simple tasks make me feel nauseas.
That is normal. You have the be active so your brain can reboot. Sounds crazy but you need to trigger the dizziness to get better
I think this is what’s happened after I got the vaccines :( for days I’ve been dizzy :(
I got my first dose and I’m not getting the second one because of this
I got this after my 2nd Pfizer shot, still feeling the effects to this day. Fk this shit
I started a month after my second vaccine. I blame it on that
@@johngallegos2662 same happened to me it eventually went away. I got my second vaccine and booster since with no side effects at all.
This all happened in 2020..
even though it's back again I don't think it's vaccine related for me anymore and maybe ear inflammation
“I’ll put the link to the exercise”
*doesn’t put the link anywhere
I have had issued with dizziness for 7 years ever since having this. It doesn't always get better and some people never regain their normalcy.
I hope your wrong. My ENT Physician said this VN is the like the measles virus, You get it once then it goes away. He put me on Prednisone and after 3 weeks the spinning is almost gone.
This june will be 2 years iv had this condition..
I'm about 80 % good now, but my nerve system has chronic damage in my right inner ear and most likely never get better..
I'm at worse when I close my eyes and tilt my head side to side...
It's sooo bad..
When my eyes are looking what I'm doing, I'm ok, if not that's when I feel off balance.. .
No random vertigo since but feels like it wants to come on...
I can't see me improving. I think I have this rest of my life 😠😠
Im nervous and sad about it. Never have I been sick until now.
@@bradglawson4395 you're not alone brad. me too.
@@bradglawson4395how long did it take vertigo to go away
Does vestibular neuritis cause heavy head?
I have had a lot of spinning and lightheadedness in the past weeks which I can deal with but on two occasions I had episodes of lack of coordination, like a disconnect between brain and body. The second time it came on suddenly as I was out walking and I had to grip a hedge to stop from falling and almost crawl home. These episodes are terrifying. I had covid a month ago and suspect a link. I'm doing exercises recommended by Chinese doctors and hope they help. Has anyone else had a similar experience?
Yes me Janet! :( I was waking outside two weeks ago, and my head started spinning out of nowhere... I needed to stop walking. I still feel like I am moving around and I feel very dizzy and tired. I went to the doctor, she said it sounds like vestibular neuritis. Yesterday I tried to go to my work but I feel like I pushed myself to much and I feel extra dizzy and sick today. Ugh! It's really hard. I also had a covid infection previous. How are you doing nowadays?
Can someone please give me hope and tell me you can recover from this. I have had VN for 7 months now been doing VRT ever since and i seized from sleeping on my bad ear ,i try to be as physically active as possible , the brain fog is so debilitating and i noticed i have instability when i am on my period ,it has been so hard for me and i keep on Wondering will this be the rest of my life ,there has been improvement but i am still struggling
Exactly like me . When the vertigo attacked me for the first time, it was severe, but it began to improve over time. But I still suffer from it until now. I always feel like my head is swaying and I cannot stand properly. Sometimes the feeling is strong and I cannot even turn my head because of dizziness.
I don't really know what the solution is, and I started asking how I was going to live like this
Hey I’m 22 and been like this for 5 days I’m on prednisone will this go away I seen stories that it last years
How are you now? Did you go to a dr?
You should go see an ENT
I’m going on four month where can I get your.tabular neuritis exercises. Thank you Dr
Try Austin Goh, he is a martial arts expert and he gives excellent advice. You'll find it under vestibular disorder. At the same time my Chinese doctor who practices acupuncture advised me to massage firmly during two minutes the indentations close to the ears on the back of the head. I've just started doing both so can't say how well they work. Good luck.
@@janetblanc7658 Any update? My wife was diagnosed with vestibular neuritis and looking at different options for recovery.
@@kojak130able John, your wife could try Austin Goh's recommendation on Utube called 'stop vestibular disorder'. It took me about two weeks but it has completely cleard up. What a relief. Good luck 👍
R u any better now
@@kojak130ableme too, I’ve had vertigo over 3 months what is she doing now
It's 7 months for me. This is frustrating
A year for me and counting. I got vestibular neuritis after having Covid in November 2020
@@rickeysantos Sorry to hear. Hope you recover soon.
@@rickeysantos i got it from covid too i am about 3 weeks in with the vestibular issues and not much of an improvement
Is it normal to feel faint when you have vestibular neuritis?
Yes it’s happen to me after 5 months when I have dizziness attack I feel like I gone faint😢
