I have vertigo too, for many years now, attacks come on and off. I used to have sinusitis too, which probably triggered it. I've read a lot about causes and what triggers these attacks. For me, it was stress, black coffee, lack of adequate drinking water, too much time working in front of a computer. I'd like to share about what is helping me deal with my vertigo attacks: exercises that help, like lying on a bed, and turning your head to the left while your eyes look to the right and vice versa. Avoid getting up suddenly from the bed, after you wake up. Also, make sure you sleep with your head elevated with pillows, but never on a flat bed or surface. Drinking Ginger tea, having Apple cider vinegar with honey in warm water 3 times a week, taking warm showers, avoid having too much coffee, make sure you have the correct posture while sitting before a computer, stay hydrated, have your eyes checked if you have vision problems, and best of all, take time out to relax, go on long walks, bask in warm sunshine, listen to music, indulge in your favorite hobby, stay positive at all times...Unless it's really required, visit your doctor for medication or treatment. Hope these tips help someone atleast 😊 🙏, I understand the fear and anxiety that most people may have when these attacks occur. Stay blessed. Love from India 🇮🇳
I have vertigo, had two major ones. One that lasted all day long. Closing my eyes was the worse for me. I pray all of us who suffer from this gets relief.
@@lorrainegreen3320 pls try doing the epiley maneuver couple of times and you will find instant relief. Also increase your vitamin D3 intake with magnesium, zinc 15 mg and B1. You will certainly find a big change in how you feel
I started dealing with vertigo about 1.5 years ago. Once I had an attack that was so bad I thought I was having a stroke and got taken to hospital in an ambulance. When I got back, I was sleeping on an incline to avoid it, and developed terrible TMJ symptoms and tinnitus. It turned out I had BPPV in both ears. But did I???? I was still feeling very “floaty” for a couple months after having the Epley maneuver clear up one side and the Foster method clear the other side…. Then I saw a chiropractor. Years of poor posture (forward head posture, to be specific) and a neck injury I never got fixed caused a herniated disk in my neck, along with associated bone spurs. Every since I’ve been working with a chiropractor regularly, my symptoms have GREATLY IMPROVED. I genuinely hope this helps someone who is a frequent sufferer of vertigo. Don’t count out a cervical spine issue for chronic vertigo. Sending empathy and hugs to everyone suffering from this frightening condition!!!!
Hi, I hope you're well, interesting reading your experience ad mine is very similar,stroke like symptoms &7 days hospitalised/ MRI scans / CTshowed nothing,3 months later I'm still the same ,can't walk correctly, lost my speech for a month or so,diagnosed BPPV ,I'm not convinced that is correct, how are you now and any advice is really appreciated thanks x
Hi do you see the chiropractor to help with posture? I am an admin so sit at a desk. Recently been told I had Bbvp not sure how it came on. 3week doing the manoeuvre and still very dizzy. I’m praying God removes it however, would you suggest seeing a chiropractor to help with posture to prevent vertigo?
I have had Vertigo for ten years or so. I was beat up and had bleeding on the brain. I am forever deaf in my left ear. But, I'm alive, I try to look at the good!!
I had my first vertigo attack at 15. I’ll be 18 in January. I’ve had attacks frequently since I first got diagnosed with bpv. It’s horrible and I’m thankful for this video that explains it all so well, my doctors never explained like this. Nothing really helps me when I get my attacks, not even the head movements my physical therapist prescribed me. I’ve been healthy all my life and it saddens me that I’m sicker and kind of weaker compared to my peers. Often stress triggers my attacks, but sometimes they can literally come out of the blue, sitting in my bed BAM, eating at a restaurant BAM, doing absolutely nothing BAM, and the attacks last very long, at least a few hours or days. I really don’t hope bpv follows me through my whole life..
Im also 18, when u mentioned that line saying how it saddens u to see that we are weaker and going through this than our peers and that noone can actually understand what this is. I cry so much sometimes. Reading this made me realise im not alone, ur comment is 8 months old now, i hope ur all well and doing better and i hope things get better and healthier for u، im often positive now, ive learned to manage my panic attacks and just hangin in there. Ive been going through this since 16. On and off vertigo and imbalance
I had vertigo on and off for a few weeks until it finally went away. All I could do was lay in bed. It’s the worst, I hope everyone who suffers from it finds relief :(
My Vertigo was off and on now and again but 6 year's ago it became 24/7 whenever I'm standing and walking. It's preventing me from doing most anything without pre-planning my every step. I can drive without any problems, the vertigo begins when my back isn't supported
i have had two attacks of vertigo in my life and they were both caused by extreme stress...it is cool to see how responsive our body is to what we feed it (literally and energetically), love this video, super helpful
I recommend a special tape for vertigo. It treats the body because it is an organic vitamin and has a special energy in it. I saw this with my own eyes in my friend. You see the effect quickly. But the treatment process takes between 3 and 6 months depending on the body.

I was just diagnosed with BPPV. I start Epley Maneuvers next week. Dizziness is such a life robbing experience. The feeling of having no control is the worst!
I had extreme vertigo (20ish years ago) and was told by a doctor nothing you can do for it......here is some anti nausea medication. For me personally I worked out what was causing & bringing multiple episodes on a weekly basis. Not to get my ears wet, so no swimming with head under water, in the shower I have to be careful, no motorbike helmets and no head phones or ear muffs, I was living in a very humored climate at the time as well. When I stopped all these my vertigo is soooooo much better probably 95% better......I hope this helps someone :)
@@qwertycvbnm793 yeah thank you, it cleared up after about a week. Was horrible and had to cancel my holiday but I rescheduled it and am now away with my girlfriend and am not falling over:)
Got vertogo two years ago followed by severe anxiety. Saw an ENT who basically did nothing but check my ears. Watched a video on the Carol Foster MD maneuver....so much better than employ maneuver and it worked. Then a friend told me to go get physical therapy where they teach you to do exercises. Worked wonders. Now two years later after a dental appt where my head was too low for an hour, it’s back but I will do what I’ve learned.
Sorry I hope you feel better, I know it’s not easy living with the vertigo and it is very awful feelings. I started to have vertigo in 2005 of April three trips to ER and each time they couldn’t find the roots caused so they sent me home with Meclizines to take. It comes and goes and the duration was like couple hour each vertigo attacked. Up till 2014 another trip to ER again and this time more violence with symptoms of heart raises, sweating, tingling in my left arm and fingers also vomiting. And doctor at ER did X-ray and can’t find anything wrong. At this time the vertigo reoccurring more and more like once a month and at times twice a month. I hated it’s just disrupting from work, driving etc. Late 2014, I found myself stared in the mirror and I noticed that my left eye is bulge out, uneven so, I scheduled to see eye doctor and doctor said this; there’s something wrong with eye; it looks like mass tissue growths behind your eyeball. He sent me to do MRI, three days later he wants to see me. He told me that I had a tumor behind my left eye this might caused the vertigo. In March 2015, I had surgery to re moves tumor and I’m being watch care to study this tumor and found out it was benign; I said thank you Jesus.🙏❤️ I have not vertigo for one full year after my surgery. Then in 2016 I started to have vertigo again, my family and eye doctors sent me to specialist many and many more MRI, TC and Pet scans and continues with Meclizines and see ENT. MRI/TC/Pet scans the brain looks great. Neurologist found out and diagnosed me with crystals inner ears~ BPPV was sent home and instructions of head exercises and continues with Meclizines. I followed his instructions and head exercises and it helps some but vertigo reoccurring but not as much. I wished it goes away forever.😮💨Not easy living with vertigo😓
@@SophiaCVeng oh that was so sad to hear that, I think so I have vertigo because yesterday I went to an optical clinic. They said I have astigmatism but when I already had an eyeglass. I'm still feel dizzy and it's even more dizzy when I wear my eyeglass. And also my ear aching. So I think I have vertigo because I always feel that my surroundings turn around.
My vertigo is killing me, had an episode yesterday and ended up in the hospital, now I'm told to have my ear check...I can't wait for this to go away forever....I pray everyone suffering from this gets the help they need
Had every test you can imagine MRI CT normal x-ray ultrasound clean nothing. Had a VNG could see anything, been going on for four years. All the ENTs are telling me it's stress and anxiety.
Seek out an upper cervical chiropractor (don't worry they are very gentle) and see if the bone in your neck that connects your head to your neck the atlas is out of position and impacting the brain stem it really helped me.
Many haven't talked about sleeplessness, which I experienced as one of the main reasons. Yesterday and once before also, I had this bloody attack which gave me a bitter experience. (now, I am 74 male and a loner) I couldn't sleep for whole of two consecutive days and nights during both the occasions and followed by this severe simptoms of vertigo - meaning, suddenly I couldn't get up from the chair wherein I was comfortably sitting and the world was reeling before me, accute headache, severe vomiting sensation, trembling, severe perspiration and fell down on the floor indoors. Somehow, timely I rose up to enter the restroom to vomit out. After a while I took a warm water shower and started recovering slowly after three more vomits. By then it was 09-30 pm and without eating or drinking anything, I started sleeping. Believe me, I slept for 9 full hours uninterrupted and felt _almost_ alright. 8 hours after I woke up in the morning, I became 100% normal and now I am waiting for my friend to pick me up, to go and see a doctor before evening this day.
Fascinating! I had an experience of sudden onset, intermittent but frequent vertigo lasting over a week. Went to GP after falling: my sense of “vertical” was about 40^ off. GP put me through several tests for positional vertigo, asked lots of questions, and concluded after checking my meds that I was deficient in potassium due to a particular BP med I’d been taking for a couple of years. Changed meds and that fixed it. Thank you NHS!
WOW, That's amazing and very interesting. I have Hugh Blood Pressure as well, I agree there may be a connection. After your DR changed your BP meds did it go away forever ????? I wonder what would happen if I just stopped taking my BP meds. I'm really tempted because I had always had Low BP ten approximately 10 or 12 year's ago I had a horrific chest pain, I was alone and when it wouldn't stop after about 15mins I feared I was going to pass out alone so the first time in my life I called an Ambulance, when they checked my BP It was off the charts, they immediately gave meba mouth full of Aspirin and hand full of Nitro and several injections of Morphine. Nothing was helping, we got to the ER and they worked on me all day trying to get my BP down and stop the pain, I got Morphine every 30 mins but it was no help, finally the nurse whispered she was giving me a pain med that was 10 times stronger than Morphine, whatever it was was working and little by little my BP was coming down, they never gave me the reason forbwhat caused the whole thing but I was put on BP meds and it was only a year or two when the Vertigo started, at first i was intermittent and only 4 or 5 times a year then one day 7 year's ago that attack never went away. Thanks so much for sharing, I'm going to think seriously on this
I got vertigo about eight years ago. It occurred after I contracted swine flu. It happened on Christmas Day while I was driving. Luckily, I was able to safely pull over and call for help. It lasted through New Years and slowly dissipated.
Had vertigo for the first time last week. Thought i was having a stroke and went to ER. Started feeling better a few days later. that shit aint no joke
I have vertigo 3 weeks and still recovering i hope will go back to normal its so hard when i feel like my brain will react and include my stomach first like i feel i fall 1 sec even awake or lying down when i do certain head movement.i pray to all of us suffering with vertigo will all heal and will never suffer.
@@aaribhasan im getting better stay hydrated everyday warm water only to avoid anxiety on stomach when vertigo attack, i do half somersault maneuver by dr. Carol this works for me rather than the epley maneuver. I hope you get better too.
I’ve had bpv for 20 years. Yes they’ve done the epely and log rolls so many times. Doc finally said “you’re 1 in 10,000 who can’t be fixed.” For those of you suffering…I feel for you. I know it’s frustrating when people don’t understand what it feels like. Long term, it paralyzes much of your life. Driving…heights…movement…heck, changing lightbulbs!

Fantastic video! I have recently been diagnosed with ALS, and have been having migraines for approximately 50 years, since childhood. Prior to my ALS diagnosis, for feelings of fullness in my right ear, I had many hearing tests and two brain scans. As a result of my latest MRI prior to diagnosis with ALS, it was found that many of the nerves on the right side of my neck, probably going up into my brain stem have made both my arms so weak that my right arm has become nearly useless and I can no longer even lift a cup of coffee with my right arm. I used to be a classical pianist, and around the time that I began having problems with my ear, I began struggling to play scales and cords or anything complicated with my right hand, so I have now sold my grand piano and stopped playing atogether. I have wonderful doctors and support from the ALS Association, and I’ve been handling things well, and this video is so validating and explains so easily things that seem to be happening inside my head. Vertigo has become a problem for me for the last three years, and this is a wonderful video to help me understand.
I've had it when I was younger a few times, then started thinking about the spinning motion as a roller coaster ride , now when I get it , it's a thrill ride into how far I can push myself before it wears off.
I really appreciate everyone sharing their experiences I’ve recently over the past 5 days just found out I have vertigo. I’m 21 years old and it was very nerve wrecking especially since no one around me has experienced anything like it. Reading all of these comments knowing that I am not the only one makes me feel better and makes me feel as if I am in a community💛, so far Valium, Meclizine, warm showers/bath and sleeping/bed rest has helped. I’m still very new to all of it so it is a lot to take in but I’m happy to take some of y’all tips and these videos and applying it💆🏾♀️.
Same. I am just 18 and I was so scared cus I was facing this from a few days. Got to know my sinusitis is triggering it and also bec I'm having a lot of coffee lately. Glad to see I'm not the only one.
I can't wait for this to go away have had it for a week now and it makes me feel not to be normal and it's terrible and if you explain to someone who has never experienced it's really bad.😏
Day 7 for me. Scary stuff. Sat up suddenly from sleep to a spinning room and eyes darting all around. Luckily its getting better. Sleeping elevated helps. I think mine is bppv. I have done maneuvers at home to help it. I'm drinking extra water too.
reading this comment and the ones under it helped me alot. i am also 21 but i have been dealing with vertigo for almost two years but it's scary everytime i get it. i suffer from migraines and get sinus infection often which i am now learning causes vertigo too. I wasn't aware of the stress being one of them.
Just replying because of your age. Read my comment above. I'm MUCH older, therefore brain tissue not as fresh, computer-generated games weren't around when i was a kid. neither were computers. But that's how i discovered Vertigo. it's Hell. I wouldn't continue valium for long. Get off the computer. Go to an ashram for a few months if you can.
What an excellent video, thank you! I’ve had vertigo for 32 years and am so worn out and discouraged. No help from doctors - Epley used to help a bit but only at the beginning of a flare up. I also have tinnitus in the same ear. Tomorrow I am trying a CBDG blend tincture routine. I will report back.
Thank you for this informative video. I was diagnosed with Ménière’s disease in my early forties. Attacks were daily and unpredictable. They would last for hours sometimes. Everything the specialist prescribed did not offer relief. I finally had an endo lymphatic shunt performed in a university hospital in Philadelphia It lessened the duration of the vertigo attacks. They finally stopped in my late 60’s. I’m now deaf in the right ear but thankfully no more vertigo
My mom had Menieres also…at least that’s what they thought she had. She would have sudden spells where she would have to last down quickly wherever she was for about 10-15 minutes. I remember once she was in a mall store where she had one of her spells so my sisters and I all layer down with her as she was embarrassed. One day in 1980 my stepdad thought she was having an episode and kept saying Pat, come on wake up…….but it wasn’t one of her attacks….he turned her over and saw blue lips….she had had a heart attack and went in a coma for 32 days before she passed away. I hope and pray that in your case that people won’t assume it’s an attack from menieres…it could be a different attack…..a heart attack! Good luck.,
This explanation is so much appreciated ,especially in my case .Iam a person that has suffered from cronic positional vertigo .At this moment ,iam quite fine thank god .But this brief description of my syptoms have given me great relief.
I just had vertigo today at 4am. While laying down. Standing walking is fine but once I put my head back, there you go. I saw a young doctor but couldn't trust her judgment. I am planning to do medical check up tomorrow. Last year it happened, much milder, but short. I noticed then that I accidentally went total vegan for 6 weeks. So I ate bone broth and lamb soup and immediately I was fine. This time is different. It's persistent. It's been such a day.... Thank you for all of you here who are sharing your experience. It's early for me, but I trust my body intelligence to tell me what's going on.... Hopefully I find the way to self healing and once more, learn about my body and myself.... 🦋 An update: it lasted for a day. My sister, who is an energy healer, advised me to practice deep, belly breathing. I did it until I fell asleep (that night, I sat sleeping, with my back leaning on a pile of 5 pillows). I probably woke up every now and then, but I noticed in between, that even though my head was tilted low, the vertigo didn't return). I woke up almost feeling my usual self, but decided to go to an ENT appointment in a big, international hospital. I was the first patient in queue, but the doctor couldn't come. I was asked to sign up to another ENT later, at first I agreed. But as I sat there, waiting, feeling my usual self, I took it as a sign from the Universe to cancel it. It's been almost a week, and it hasn't come back. Nevertheless I decided to take a rather thorough long overdue medical check up tomorrow. Just to get a big picture of my overall health. The data is important, but how I am going to read it, is even more paramount. And I know, there's no way I will blindly rely on the allopathy medicine system of reading. Their logic of "one pill for every Ill". I want to take control of my health by knowing my body/self intimately. Mind body soul/spirit. Learning about yourself is so rewarding! Hope this sharing helps others in need.
@@marklopez5659 I would think so. But it's self-diagnosed. I don't run any tests to prove it. It lasted only for a day and night, lucky me. But it was alarming cos it never happened to me before. The room moved rather extreme.

@llulaby in retrospect, I'd say, stress. Then, I remember, I was struggling to come to terms with a big decision I made few months earlier, that was still very much impacting my days. So besides eating sleeping well, I tried my best to reach the inner peace within. One of them through meditation practice. It took me sometimes. But for almost year now, I don't have any symptoms anymore. Hope you will find your own key to healing. Find the roots. Every body is different and unique.
My vertigo is associated with sinusitis. Often in rainy season or in winter I have the problem of water accumulation in my forehead. When I suffer from colds, I do not get a runny nose but can feel the heaviness in the head that shifts according to the position of my head and sometimes ears get blocked. I also sometimes have that vertigo problem that was very severe some years back but now just warns me with some spinning of the head when I suddenly change position. I take regularly one tablet a day of Lemolate that relieves me of this problem.
I have had vertigo for 5+ years. Saw 4 ENT Specialists, PT for vertigo, Steroid injections into ear drum. Nothing worked permanently. Then I had chest pains rushed to hospital with 2 blocked coronary arteries. 2 stents later and 3 years later with no episodes. Docs seem to think blood supply to head could of been the cause. Just my story, but happy it's over none the less. Hope this helps someone.
When I was first diagnosed with vertigo I didn’t know what was going on ever since I had my avm (Brain haemorrhage) it’s been not just on off but a sense of hearing loss but with all my prayers and those those that are worse than myself all in healing with all God’s love.
I've been suffering from vertigo sporadically for a couple years now. I'll be seeing my doctor soon for it since the last episode was so bad that I had to crawl to get to the bathroom and felt extremely nauseated. It was horrible! I tried some exercises from TH-cam this morning and hoping they will help since I had some mild symptoms today. Thank you for this info.
Vertigo sufferers, please see a physical therapist who is trained to perform the Epley Maneuver. It takes only 10-15 minutes to get rid of the vertigo. If you have ever had vertigo, find the physical therapist ASAP so you are prepared for getting this treated immediately next time it happens. The Epley Maneuver treats benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (BPPV), which this podcaster mentions.
I've had vertigo for 10 years intermittently. I think a combination of poor posture, panic disorder, holding my breath when tense, and jaw clenching have been the contributing factors. Just the other day I was looking down at my phone when all of a sudden my head felt like it was getting whipped around violently. It was so bad that I saw double. Vertigo is probably the worst thing that's happened and keeps happening to me. My episodes usually last for about 5 to 10 seconds but the longest one was 1 min. Relaxation techniques like breathing exercises, meditation, warm bath, stress relief tea, valerian root, walking, and spending time in nature have helped me. I hope this helps those of you suffering from vertigo.
Hi, is it working? Because I have the same problem 😔 Sometimes I clench my jaw and/or hold my breath without realizing it. Followed by the spinning, moving, off balance situations. Sometimes it's very frustrating, and sometimes very scary/dangerous (when I'm driving or riding my motorcycle) I feel like the road was moving in all different directions and hard to keep control. 😔🤷♀️
I recommend a special tape for vertigo. It treats the body because it is an organic vitamin and has a special energy in it. I saw this with my own eyes in my friend. You see the effect quickly. But the treatment process takes between 3 and 6 months depending on the body.
If you are still suffering, I am positive that I can help if you give me an opportunity to earn your trust. Feel free to reach out if you have any questions or would like proper guidance. I have over 3 decades of experience.
Thank you very much for creating this informative and useful video on vertigo. It is so terrible if you suffer this condition. Hopefully this causes awareness on how to prevent and treat this sickness.
Dude I used to always tell my family that I would feel like the world around me was spinning and that it felt like I was being forced up out my body, but no one believed me as a kid. I used to get it all the time when I was younger and I absolutely hated it. There would be so many times where I felt like I was about to faint, but I always just told everyone I was lightheaded since no one believed me. I remember in elementary school this feeling would just randomly go crazy in class and I guarantee if i didn’t will myself to stay awake I would’ve passed out. This feeling recently got triggered when I went on a Ferris wheel and I thought I’d do some research on it, turns out it was all vertigo/dizziness. Sucks though because I wish I knew this when I was younger, but hey atleast I know I’m not crazy.
A physiotherapist with vestibular training can also be seen. Some of the peripheral causes of vertigo can be treated at an outpatient visit. If there is suspicion for central causes a visit to the ER would be recommended. I evaluate and treat vertigo regularly in my hospital. Not every PT will have advanced training though.
Seeing everyone talking about it give me some sense of comfort. I had an awful attack today, and I felt as if I was about to die. I have some meds, not sure it it helps, but I got out the house and finished my day still feeling woozy.
Thanks for this information, I wake up with headaches, when I go out I feel like I'm going to fall, I didn't real know what was going, it's been going on for a while now, I will be talking to my doctor soon.
@@zeldahooks3255 wow I’m so sorry to hear that :( couples of years ago I got some inner ear infection and made me feel vertigo and kinda blurred my hearing for a couples of days, but it got solved by itself after that. Yesterday my left ear kinda itch (and I got like this beeping noise going for like 3seconds) so I used the cotton swab to clean. And today woke up with bad vertigo 😣

I have Positional Vertigo and it comes and goes. I’m miserable when it acts up though. So dizzy and it gets worse if I close my eyes. I have exercises to do when it comes up and they usually helps
I had episodes off and on of vertigo for about 20 years. It would be most noticeable lying down and turning my head to the left, or standing and tipping my head back. At times the vertigo was very strong, room spinning. Went to a chiropractor who worked on my neck. Immediate relief. Since then I go back every three months to keep my neck flexible. I have a tendency to tense up the left side of my neck. I watched this to see if neck tension would be mentioned in this video. It wasn't. I am free from vertigo....and migraine headaches cleared up as well. All apparently tension related.
I fully agree with that! I have been seeing a Chiropractor for 40 years, and to be honest, it is my Chiropractor that keeps me mobile and relatively pain free. And yes, Chiropractic can, and does, help with a lot more than just "back and neck pain." Chiropractic can help with a LOT of "Medical" conditions, including high blood pressure, sugar diabetes, digestive issues, pulmonary issues and even erectile dysfunction. It just depends on what is "CAUSING" those problems. And the Chiropractor does it without the use of DANGEROUS and sometimes even DEADLY Prescription DRUGS! Chiropractors "treat the CAUSE of the problem." Medical doctors "treat the SYMPTOMS of the problem."
I had vertigo for a while, specially while driving , running, heights, etc etc , and I think I have a solution for it. Haven’t had it for a long time. First thing to do: go to an allergist . Make sure you’re not eating something that you’re allergic to , or smell that you’re allergic to , including perfumes colognes cleaning supplies etc. detergent . Mine was citrus , and beef. After changing my diet . It took a minute , close to a month or two. And drinking 5 oz of Benadryl (children’s ) at night before bed or when having vertigo. I promise ! Never had it back. Ya’LL watch what you guys eat , drink , smell. It is worth it to try. And I bet it will go away! Please try ! You guys don’t loose anything. Thank you for reading.
I am bipolar.When I read these comments,I pray to God that all of you get complete recovery & no more anxiety or panic attacks.I had to quit job as I was on roller coaster all the time, energy swings.Thank God, I am recovering with the help of a great psychiatrist.
I’ve been having vertigo for I would say almost 6 months now at mild doses, but last night whilst I was at work I had a bad attack of it where I had to sit down for a good 5 minutes because I was genuinely scared. I have the WORST posture in the world, I have tension headaches almost everyday and I had no clue that posture was linked with vertigo so thank you for this video
Your video and comments are very so helpful. Thank you all. I suffer from aura migraines,tinnitus (loud hissing sound) and vertigo. The aura migraine only last for a few minutes, however the vertigo last from two to three days. My ENT doctor checks me from time to time and they made several tests from CT scan to an MRI the good news… No tumors. The head exercises and drinking plenty of water helps.
I'm not a medical student or in the medical profession, but I so enjoyed this video as I suffer with vertigo, I'm booked for a hearing test, this was very helpful to me, TYFS, and brilliantly explained. Have subscribed😘
After the new information, a slept on 2 pillows 🛌 and got so much better! Off course the vertigo medicines given to me when I left the Main Building in the Hospital are not much left. Now, self protection / action is needed. A joyful heart is good medicine ⋯ Proverbs 17:22
I been sufferning a year already and it is almost if not everyday its scary especially since there is no specific diagnosis and ive been negative on alot of test i have an ent appt oct i feel so disabled and just life isnt the same because of the fear of when will i feel it again. Pray for healing for everyone because it is horrible 😢 thank u for ur guys stories i guess im not alone in this
I have just had vertigo for the first time 10 days ago. I couldn’t lift my head off the pillow. It was accompanied by a BP of 210/107. My brain scan was normal. I had the first dose of Pfizer three weeks prior so I delayed the second dose. I am 64 years old, not unfit and weigh under 140lbs and a nurse. It is diminishing but still debilitating because I can’t walk for too long. I am unable to work. I have a very different outlook now towards people who suffer from this terrible symptom. I would like any response from people. Thank you so much for this video, it is extremely well done.
My mom had a severe vertigo episode today and needed to be crushed to the ER and she got the second moderna shot 2 weeks ago . I wonder if the vaccine has something to do with it
My son was also rushed to hospital two weeks after his second Phizer vaccine . He was vomiting and couldnt walk two steps without falling down .He was kept in for 4 days , off work for three months couldnt drive or go out . Nothing like that has ever happened before . All scans were clear , Doctors said it wasnt anything to do with the vaccine . We are 100% sure it was the vaccine . Nobody seems to care . 6 months later he still has severe headaches .
I’ve had this for 4 months now with nausea and vomiting. Been on different medications, done the epley manoeuvre a million time’s, nothing has fixed it. Had a CT scan and nothing suspicious came up. At a loss. Vomiting, nausea, no energy/feeling unwell, sweats, everything!
@@JeffWrestledABearOnce if they didn't find anything then it's most likely anxiety meaning is something in your head that is not real and that you must accept and it will slowly disappear.
Im sorry to hear about you but I feel the pain, I also suffering from on and off vertigo for past 6 months. I eved had transcardinal doppler scan to see if there is narrowing of arteries on my neck and brains to detect atheroscelerosis or possible stroke and turn out the result is normal. So doctor still have no clue what caused my vertigo and only prescribed me aspirin and betahistine :(.
Nigel, Gavin's friend BPPV isn’t anxiety nor something in your head. That’s a very insensitive thing to say to someone. BPPV is a very real condition and those who suffer from it know just how horrible it is to live with.
Carere Tei gosh, I’m sorry. I’m still suffering with it too. They doctor has said it’s most likely BPPV and there really isn’t anything that can be done other than hope it goes away eventually :( it’s the worst!!!
Thank you so much for this video. This has helped me a lot, 3 days ago I woke up with a vertigo attack and have been getting them anytime I lie down or bend down (such as picking something up) and it's been super scary. This video helped me figure out I most likely don't have a central problem and most likely BPPV. I did go see a general physician but they didn't do half as much to explain it as you did, 3 mins of asking questions handing me some pills and saying come back in 5 days if it still persists. THANK YOU for bringing peace of mind by explaining so much more to me.
There are numerous videos of how to self treat. The Epley Maneuver works very well but doctors don't usually use it because they don't make any money actually curing you. Physical therapists and chiropractors are your best shot at relief if you can't do it at home.
Vertigo sufferers, please see a physical therapist who is trained to perform the Epley Maneuver. It takes only 10-15 minutes to get rid of the vertigo. If you have ever had vertigo, find the physical therapist ASAP so you are prepared for getting this treated immediately next time it happens. The Epley Maneuver treats benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (BPPV), which this podcaster mentions.
I'm 59 & I got vertigo last spring getting out of bed & it scared the crap outta me. It was horrible that day & I didn't go anywhere. Since, I do feel some dizziness when I turn in bed or tilt my head back, and it wasn't that bad until the other night & it was horrible again. I vomited twice over the day. I heard Dramamine helps & I may take one now & then before bedtime. I never have sinus infections, flu or hearing problems, luckily. My grandma also had vertigo & took prescription for it.
This is weird but when I get vertigo I like to take warm baths when I get vertigo. I think that vertigo gets worse when I begin to panic. The warm water on my skin instantly calms me down and the weightlessness helps a little. I’m not a doctor by any means but I hope this helps someone. Been suffering from vertigo my whole life. I’m 20 now and thankfully have been able to learn to cope with it. It’s not constant but When it hits me it’s horrible. Just remember that those spells won’t last forever! Hang in there guys
WOW. My vertigo started about 20 years ago in a very limited way. Usually one.or 2 days in April. Key allergy time. It's gotten more frequent and more debilitating. Seriously not amused ENT doctor said to keep doing the "log roll" exercises to keep the crystals in their proper position.
So sorry you had it all your life! My first and only horrible episode sent me to emergency. I felt so alone until I researched it. Now if it occurs again I will try the bath!
I had an inner ear infection that destroyed my life. I woke up 1 day with vertigo, it was so bad I passed out and woke up in the ER. The 2 nerves which were responsible for hearing and balance were permanently damaged, which means I'm deaf on my left ear and I lost my balance forever. It sucks.
Everything feels so weird due to dizziness.... I recall those times when i used to enjoy each and every second of my life but now it has become a mess....
I feel the same. I have been getting headaches so much and now virago and I can’t find the reason. My dr said it’s because I don’t eat enough. It doesn’t happen when I am hungry though.
Just wanted to add that traumatic brain injuries can also cause central vestibular problems. I've been dealing with it for the past 5 years since my tbi.

Suffered a stroke in the past that started with dizziness. So having Vertigo was extremely unsettling at first. But it's just vertigo, according to my doctor. I had a minor ear infection causing a build up of fluid in middle ear. Couldn't stand or walk. Granddaughter got the day off of school because I couldn't function. She enjoyed that!
I experienced vertigo for the first time two years ago. I was under so much stress from work and with the pandemic going on, it didn’t help. I feel like I’ve never been the same since then. I do vertigo exercises here and there and they actually help. I need to be more persistent with them though. I hope anyone who suffers from vertigo finds relief and if you’ve never had vertigo, I hope you never do
@@skyre2039 so sorry to hear that! It definitely can be hard and it’s even harder when ppl who have never experienced it don’t understand what we go through. Sending positive vibes your way. I hope you feel better.
@@abcde8320 that’s the same thing I said when I experienced the first time. I’m older than you but I was 28 at the time and that was my first thought because I always heard it was more of an elderly thing or something that happened to those who were in their 50’s and over
I find that when I look up and back it is worse. When I get up from bed I am lightheaded/dizzy. Sometimes it lasts all day. I am going to see ENT and after seeing this I will know what to ask. Thank you so much 🥰🙏🏻
You deserve my inscription in your Chanel honestly wish if you were in Morocco to solve my problem ,I had vertigo before not any more but still have the vestibular issue my dream is to visit you one day so I can lead normal life !GOD bless you -cheers
thank you so much for this video, my mother was just diagnosed for vertigo but we didn't get any details on which version or reason for it. now I understand it is BPPV and how to take care of it, once again thank you.
I had sudden onset of vestibular migraine a few years after menopause. My headaches eased but vertigo swept in, in their place. I also have progressing Meniere’s Disease as my mother did. Have constant multi layered tinnitus, with pressure in ears warning of a “ spell”. Also seems related to my cervical spine degeneration. Not a fun situation but I manage.
I don't know if this will help you but you should try to find an UPPER CERVICAL CHIROPRACTOR. They are different than regular chiropractors. I have similar issues but I know the cause of mine. Most drs couldn't find their way out of a paper bag. We all need to do our own homework/research and keep going to different drs until you find one who knows what they're talking about. They need to understand PATHOLOGY.
This is a fantastic video! This has given me more answers in 10 minutes than I've received in 2 weeks! I've been unable to function until this morning 14 days after the initial attack. I wish I had found this earlier as I now understand what the issue is and now I am educated on the subject.
Thank you for this video I watched a ton of them trying to figure out what was going on with me and this is by far the best explanations of each symptom thank you
I'm 3 years into suffering from Vertigo. Inner left ear seems to be my problem. I do the half summersalt exercise up to 4 times a day waiting 15 to 20 minutes apart. So far this has helped me tremendously. This I learned from my Vertigo physical therapist, plus balance and neck exercises. When I'm feeling off, I start the half summersalt exercise. My very first vertigo episode left me off balance for 4 days and it was a horrible experience!
You have missed out 2 other important and common causes of vertigo....one that happens from the stiff neck (compression of the arteries or nerves leading to the brain) and psychogenic vertigo which happens during major depression state.Cervical vertigo - also called cervicogenic dizziness - is a condition that causes both neck pain and dizziness. It's related to certain neck conditions. Cervical vertigo can also occur following a cervical spine injury.
For those of you who have Menire's Disease, or end up being diagnosed over the period of a year, I FINALLY found a fantastic doctor. On the road to figure out the cause, possibly an autoimmune/ inflammatory problem. Don't let anyone tell you to get used to living with this. Flight for yourself, you ARE worth it!!! For Menire's info Dr. David Clark, DC has a lot of info in TH-cam!
Thank you for your explanation, I fully understand now so time for me to visit my doctor. I understand there are exercises to alleviate the problem but not too much is mentioned about prescriptions. or an operation to rectify.
I've been suffering from vertigo and tinnitus for quite some time, have seen doctors, even tried 5 sessions acupuncture... It went worse until last May... An ENT Specialist informed me that i had Meniere's disease and prescribed 'Betahistine' for me..... Great relief. Feeling much better since then. Don't know if it works for everyone but for me it does... Keeping fingers crossed for the future 🤞
Worst part is praying in congregation or standing in big queues!! as I feel ill jus pass out which triggers panic attack etc.. Now i stand in the last lane so I'm more comfortable because no one notices even if panic attack occurs 😁
very helpful, mine has just started with sudden movement onset like getting up suddenly or turning head and of course constant pain in neck literally :) transmitting down to arm shoulder that entire side..
I think I had this a few days ago, never had it before. I noticed it first when I turned over in my bed to another sleepin position. It got worse when I closed my eyes or laid my head on my pillow facing left. If I faced right on the pillow it was almost non existant. Very peculiar. Later in the day I noticed if I tilted my head to one side I'd get relief but the other would make it worse.
I'm having vertigo or something mimicking vertigo-like symptoms since December 8th. Head feeling heavy, back of neck feeling as if muscles are stiff making my head feel heavier than usual. Head sometimes feels as if something is inside of it sometimes. Funny thing is these symptoms feel WORSE when I lay down or close my eyes, or turn side to side or lay on my stomach when sleeping. Sleeping isn't even the same anymore because when I sleep it feels as if the weight on my left side is gonna make me fall through my own bed. Sometimes sitting down in my chair feels like I'm swaying. Left leg just feels uncomfortable. Semi off balance when walking (Left leg only) knee even goes a little further back than my right. Even getting on my knee feels like my left one isn't aligned like my right, but it doesn't matter I get a swaying or heavy feeling when I sleep, get on either knee, or close my eyes. Life just isn't the same anymore. The hardest most frustrating thing about it is, doctors can't find the problem. Having so many test done, Primary, Cardio, Neurology, and ENT can't find the problem. But I also feel like they didn't look good enough because of this whole virus plus and my schedules get set back. Diet change isn't even helping much either. Tried epley maneuver, dramamine, bonine, OTC stuff didn't seem to work. Sometimes I gets to a point where I can't do much activity around at home and sometimes it's not bad to a point where I can manage. It's getting really depressing they haven't even tried putting me on any medication yet, and I'm getting desperate and willing to do anything for this thing to just disappear from my life entirely. My case of this vertigo or vertigo menieres disease symptom is just crazy hard to describe in my case 'cause it seems like nobody have the exact symptoms I got. Tried searching all over the net for my symptoms to no avail only being that balance disorder, vertigo, meniere's is more like it. I'm really commenting for a reply hoping someone is on the same boat as me, or could help me, cause these doctors can't. The only thing that kinda helps the symptoms subside and not entirely eliminate the symptoms is exercise and that's it and seem like the feeling comes back overtime and gets worse the longer I go without exercise but again not even exercise completely eliminates the problem...
I totally know how you are feeling right now, I have this heavy head feeling for 9 years, I can not walking without holding my head with my hand. sitting makes it worse. But right now, I feel a lot better. Here is what I did: I went to see a special chiropractor called ABC (Advances Biostructural Correction). That is the only thing works actually, to make my spine even and stand straight. Go to their website and read how it works, you will know why it works and why other stuff doesn't. I can sleep a lot better, functional a lot more than before. I works 7 hours per day, without holding my head right now. So I learnt this methods and trying on all my family right now, my mom's vertigo immediatly got a lot better after the first adjustment. She still feels it now and then but much better. her neck pain was gone. and my dad's waist pain and ringing in the ear was gone after 3 or 4 adjustment. I suggest you google it and find a doctor near you. Because from your comment I can see a old me... I just want to help you. another thing which is also very very very important: control your anxiety. that could cause everything.
@@easychineselearning2176 Thank you. It feels better knowing I'm not the only one suffering in that way with the lightheaded and heavyness feeling on my left side. I thought I was the only one having this type of vertigo or whatever mimicking it when there could be another underlying problem difficult to detect. I just had a phone appointment with my doctor due to COVID-19. We're going to try seeing if my insurance will cover everything I need to be seen by a chiropractor. This crap is even ruining my sleep as sometimes I wake up lightheaded even more and feel the heavyness feeling when turning left in bed. Very hard and strange feeling to explain, but it feels like when I sleep too long on my right my right side of my head feels more fuller and heavier and the longer I sleep on my left it feels like the same way I describe the way I lay down on my right. Sometimes I can manage sometimes It gets so bad activity is limited. The day I first had it I was very dizzy and feeling nausea. nothing else and then this other stuff started getting worse. Dizzyness and nausea stopped though. I will try this, It was started to make me feel a little depressed. Even as I reply to your comment I'm sitting in my chair feeling slightly unsteady even though I'm sitting still. Thank you again, I cannot wait so see how things go. These other doctors doing tests on me have been not much help as everyone keeps telling me I'm fine when I know for sure I'm not. Nobody wants to go home and live on living like this. I cannot imagine going another year with this either. I cannot wait to see how things go to see a chiropractor, I wanna enjoy life and do more activity again! Oh and I see you mentioned controlling anxiety, I'll be working on that more too. I do remember feeling anxious and had something on my mind before attempting to sleep that day these symptoms occurred.

Omg I have same problems. Heavy head on the left side and balance problems. How are you feeling now? What did you do to help. I was fine until I started to get panic attacks and anxiety all through December and now I am okay still have balance issues and a heavy head. I am so tired
Thank you because by the time you are reading this I was striked by it and now I know what it is and what was happening because I often get mingrains when I yawn... After several minutes of watching the video it did start to lighten up.. But I knew I should be aware of this..
I have Meniere's Disease and my episodes are brought on by foods. I can one day eat a certain food, no problem, and then for whatever reason it'll bring on an episode. I get the ringing in the ears, my hearing gets distorted and the fullness and then for the big finally, nausea and vomiting. Mine last up to a week of hearing issues. The nausea and cookie throwing last about 5 to 6 hours. I believe I ended up with this issue because of ear infections in both ears when I lived in Florida. After the infection, my ears would itch like crazy! To get some kind of relief I would use Q Tips to scratch my ears. Sugar makes them really itch. I try not to use the Q Tips as it aggravates my ears. This is one nasty mean disease!
I have this now, at 71. Vision problems. Prior ear infections when in early 20''s (swimmer's ear). Now I have very itchy ears and when I stick my little finger inside to scratch, so to speak, I sense presence of some sort of liquid (like one gets when one cannot remove all water from ear after swimming). I too used q tips (and other things ). Just spent two days in hospital due to sudden inability to stand or walk, massive sweating, and uncontrollable leg movements (shaking). Can you elaborate on which foods trigger an attack? Also whether vision problems (blurry vision) still persist. From what I 've read, it might not be Peripheral Neuronitis, but Central Neuronitis instead. The ear, neck, eyes all sugger due to connection. Is there a source or Doctor who you know that specializes in this? I live in Southern California. Thank you. I appreciate your input.
@@marcberrenson570 For me, it seems to be sugary and high salt foods. Even fruits will cause my ears to ring and act up. :( Berries are OK but nothing else. I've stopped eating anything that is packaged. I started a LOW CARB LOW SALT diet. I also have started to fast every other day or eat only one meal a day. I notice the more I eat the more my ears ring and feel full. The less food I eat, the better I feel. I don't have a doctor but, I hear Chiropractors who specialize in upper neck area work wonders?! I just haven't found one in my area. Sorry your feeling bad. :( Hope you feel better. :-)
I just got vertigo again for the 2nd time. It’s horrible I’m scared to drive. Worst part is my husband doesn’t understand how horrible this is. He thinks I’m faking. I hate this feeling I’m so scared I’ll have to deal with this forever.

I had vertigo for the first time, this past couple of months. It lasted for just over 3 weeks. My C1 and C2 were out. Fortunately, the only thing that helped me, where chiropractic adjustments.
@Christine Hollenbeck. Is it safe to drive when you suffer from vertigo constantly? Was admitted to hosp 2yrs ago with severe vertigo and still have daily episodes. I don't want to drive but my family thinks I'm just too scared.
@@anneclark556 for me, most of the time, I did not. I felt like I was not walking straight, or I would have a sudden urge to have to hold onto something. I think it would depend upon how you are feeling. But, if you don't feel safe, then do not drive. I hope you feel better soon! I never want to experience it again!
@@MySkinnydip I'm not sure what I did to get my neck so out of alignment, but I never want to do it again! I went to the Chiropractor three times. After the first adjustment, I felt worse for 2 days, but that is normal ( I have a few chiropractors in my family). After those two days, I chose to go back two more times, and it was amazing how effective it was!
@@anneclark556 I had to go to the ER and stayed for 2 days. I didn’t feel comfortable driving either but after I drove around a bit with other people, my confidence came back. But I’m very careful and don’t drive the freeway yet.
I have reoccurring BPPV. Lately, for the last couple of months, it has been when I lay on my left side or tilt my head to the right while bending over. At least I have learned how to adjust to it. Wish it would go away, though.
Good job Tom! As a certified youtube vertigo enthusiast, I have a couple of points. Patients with Meniere's Disease will complain of vertigo which is worsened by head movement, as all causes of vertigo are. Even central causes of vertigo are worse with head movement. But they are not solely triggered by head movement as BPPV is. Actual traumatic vestibular nerve damage, and hyperviscosity syndromes would both be very very rare causes of vertigo. Nice that you mentioned vestibular migraine which is the second most common cause of vertigo after BPPV. But in fact, many patients with vestibular migraine complain that it is positional in nature. And as I mentioned, all causes of vertigo are made worse by head movement. And the episodes of vestibular migraine can last days and sometimes even more. The tricky part is that up to half of their recurrent episodes of vertigo can be isolated, with no headache or visual aura. And in fact, the most common associated symptom with vestibular migraine is photophobia. Overall very good, Tom. Peter
Vertigo is terrifying. I always had it when I was a kid, but all of a sudden yesterday afternoon it came back.

@@YanskieTV I stop eating cheese all together, there is a protein in the cheese that triggers the vertigo, it’s almost a year and I have not had it. It’s not easy I am a lover of cheese , any thing with cheese , try it and see if it helps you

When I first had vertigo problems I was thinking that I could have a major impact in my brain. I was thinking that I'm on a boat in a storm and I thanks for this video showing and explaining everything things that I learned from this particular problem.
I have vertigo too, for many years now, attacks come on and off. I used to have sinusitis too, which probably triggered it. I've read a lot about causes and what triggers these attacks. For me, it was stress, black coffee, lack of adequate drinking water, too much time working in front of a computer. I'd like to share about what is helping me deal with my vertigo attacks: exercises that help, like lying on a bed, and turning your head to the left while your eyes look to the right and vice versa. Avoid getting up suddenly from the bed, after you wake up. Also, make sure you sleep with your head elevated with pillows, but never on a flat bed or surface. Drinking Ginger tea, having Apple cider vinegar with honey in warm water 3 times a week, taking warm showers, avoid having too much coffee, make sure you have the correct posture while sitting before a computer, stay hydrated, have your eyes checked if you have vision problems, and best of all, take time out to relax, go on long walks, bask in warm sunshine, listen to music, indulge in your favorite hobby, stay positive at all times...Unless it's really required, visit your doctor for medication or treatment. Hope these tips help someone atleast 😊 🙏, I understand the fear and anxiety that most people may have when these attacks occur. Stay blessed. Love from India 🇮🇳
Did it affect your driving I just always feel like I have tunnel vision and can’t drive on the freeway?
Yes even I have sinus problem 🙂

@@lorrainegreen3320 pls try doing the epiley maneuver couple of times and you will find instant relief. Also increase your vitamin D3 intake with magnesium, zinc 15 mg and B1. You will certainly find a big change in how you feel
I do too, gets to the point where I can’t see, stand, walk, write, or read. It sucks and it’s awful
I started dealing with vertigo about 1.5 years ago. Once I had an attack that was so bad I thought I was having a stroke and got taken to hospital in an ambulance. When I got back, I was sleeping on an incline to avoid it, and developed terrible TMJ symptoms and tinnitus. It turned out I had BPPV in both ears. But did I???? I was still feeling very “floaty” for a couple months after having the Epley maneuver clear up one side and the Foster method clear the other side….
Then I saw a chiropractor. Years of poor posture (forward head posture, to be specific) and a neck injury I never got fixed caused a herniated disk in my neck, along with associated bone spurs. Every since I’ve been working with a chiropractor regularly, my symptoms have GREATLY IMPROVED.
I genuinely hope this helps someone who is a frequent sufferer of vertigo. Don’t count out a cervical spine issue for chronic vertigo. Sending empathy and hugs to everyone suffering from this frightening condition!!!!
Hi, I hope you're well, interesting reading your experience ad mine is very similar,stroke like symptoms &7 days hospitalised/ MRI scans / CTshowed nothing,3 months later I'm still the same ,can't walk correctly, lost my speech for a month or so,diagnosed BPPV ,I'm not convinced that is correct, how are you now and any advice is really appreciated thanks x

I had my first vertigo attack at 15. I’ll be 18 in January. I’ve had attacks frequently since I first got diagnosed with bpv. It’s horrible and I’m thankful for this video that explains it all so well, my doctors never explained like this. Nothing really helps me when I get my attacks, not even the head movements my physical therapist prescribed me. I’ve been healthy all my life and it saddens me that I’m sicker and kind of weaker compared to my peers. Often stress triggers my attacks, but sometimes they can literally come out of the blue, sitting in my bed BAM, eating at a restaurant BAM, doing absolutely nothing BAM, and the attacks last very long, at least a few hours or days. I really don’t hope bpv follows me through my whole life..
God Bless 🙏🙏🙏.
God bless you I hope it goes away for you
Try D3 and magnesium..
And spend time on what u like
But make sure are healthy activities..
Blessings..
I hope you find relief and you outgrow this. Stay positive!! Good luck!!
Im also 18, when u mentioned that line saying how it saddens u to see that we are weaker and going through this than our peers and that noone can actually understand what this is.

I recommend a special tape for vertigo. It treats the body because it is an organic vitamin and has a special energy in it. I saw this with my own eyes in my friend. You see the effect quickly. But the treatment process takes between 3 and 6 months depending on the body.

I was just diagnosed with BPPV. I start Epley Maneuvers next week. Dizziness is such a life robbing experience. The feeling of having no control is the worst!
Epley manouvers have done wonders for me. Go for it!!!
Agreed
how often you have a Vertigo and how long it lasts?
How want to explain to doctor we have vertigo?
Believe me Epley will fix you, don correctly it has worked with most people I have worked with ,,
I had extreme vertigo (20ish years ago) and was told by a doctor nothing you can do for it......here is some anti nausea medication. For me personally I worked out what was causing & bringing multiple episodes on a weekly basis. Not to get my ears wet, so no swimming with head under water, in the shower I have to be careful, no motorbike helmets and no head phones or ear muffs, I was living in a very humored climate at the time as well. When I stopped all these my vertigo is soooooo much better probably 95% better......I hope this helps someone :)
First time experiencing vertigo today, everything's spinning and I didn't know why. This weirdly made me feel a lot safer, thank you
r u okay now?

Got vertogo two years ago followed by severe anxiety. Saw an ENT who basically did nothing but check my ears. Watched a video on the Carol Foster MD maneuver....so much better than employ maneuver and it worked. Then a friend told me to go get physical therapy where they teach you to do exercises. Worked wonders. Now two years later after a dental appt where my head was too low for an hour, it’s back but I will do what I’ve learned.
Sorry I hope you feel better, I know it’s not easy living with the vertigo and it is very awful feelings. I started to have vertigo in 2005 of April three trips to ER and each time they couldn’t find the roots caused so they sent me home with Meclizines to take. It comes and goes and the duration was like couple hour each vertigo attacked. Up till 2014 another trip to ER again and this time more violence with symptoms of heart raises, sweating, tingling in my left arm and fingers also vomiting. And doctor at ER did X-ray and can’t find anything wrong. At this time the vertigo reoccurring more and more like once a month and at times twice a month. I hated it’s just disrupting from work, driving etc. Late 2014, I found myself stared in the mirror and I noticed that my left eye is bulge out, uneven so, I scheduled to see eye doctor and doctor said this; there’s something wrong with eye; it looks like mass tissue growths behind your eyeball. He sent me to do MRI, three days later he wants to see me. He told me that I had a tumor behind my left eye this might caused the vertigo. In March 2015, I had surgery to re
moves tumor and I’m being watch care to study this tumor and found out it was benign; I said thank you Jesus.🙏❤️
I have not vertigo for one full year after my surgery. Then in 2016 I started to have vertigo again, my family and eye doctors sent me to specialist many and many more MRI, TC and Pet scans and continues with Meclizines and see ENT. MRI/TC/Pet scans the brain looks great. Neurologist found out and diagnosed me with crystals inner ears~ BPPV was sent home and instructions of head exercises and continues with Meclizines. I followed his instructions and head exercises and it helps some but vertigo reoccurring but not as much. I wished it goes away forever.😮💨Not easy living with vertigo😓
@@SophiaCVeng oh that was so sad to hear that, I think so I have vertigo because yesterday I went to an optical clinic. They said I have astigmatism but when I already had an eyeglass. I'm still feel dizzy and it's even more dizzy when I wear my eyeglass. And also my ear aching. So I think I have vertigo because I always feel that my surroundings turn around.
@@SophiaCVengi hope all is well god bless you
My vertigo is killing me, had an episode yesterday and ended up in the hospital, now I'm told to have my ear check...I can't wait for this to go away forever....I pray everyone suffering from this gets the help they need
Had every test you can imagine MRI CT normal x-ray ultrasound clean nothing. Had a VNG could see anything, been going on for four years. All the ENTs are telling me it's stress and anxiety.
Seek out an upper cervical chiropractor (don't worry they are very gentle) and see if the bone in your neck that connects your head to your neck the atlas is out of position and impacting the brain stem it really helped me.
Many haven't talked about sleeplessness, which I experienced as one of the main reasons. Yesterday and once before also, I had this bloody attack which gave me a bitter experience. (now, I am 74 male and a loner) I couldn't sleep for whole of two consecutive days and nights during both the occasions and followed by this severe simptoms of vertigo - meaning, suddenly I couldn't get up from the chair wherein I was comfortably sitting and the world was reeling before me, accute headache, severe vomiting sensation, trembling, severe perspiration and fell down on the floor indoors. Somehow, timely I rose up to enter the restroom to vomit out. After a while I took a warm water shower and started recovering slowly after three more vomits. By then it was 09-30 pm and without eating or drinking anything, I started sleeping. Believe me, I slept for 9 full hours uninterrupted and felt _almost_ alright. 8 hours after I woke up in the morning, I became 100% normal and now I am waiting for my friend to pick me up, to go and see a doctor before evening this day.
Did you find out anything when going to the doctor?
i hope ure okay
Fascinating! I had an experience of sudden onset, intermittent but frequent vertigo lasting over a week. Went to GP after falling: my sense of “vertical” was about 40^ off. GP put me through several tests for positional vertigo, asked lots of questions, and concluded after checking my meds that I was deficient in potassium due to a particular BP med I’d been taking for a couple of years. Changed meds and that fixed it. Thank you NHS!
WOW, That's amazing and very interesting.
I have Hugh Blood Pressure as well, I agree there may be a connection.
After your DR changed your BP meds did it go away forever ?????
I wonder what would happen if I just stopped taking my BP meds.
I'm really tempted because I had always had Low BP ten approximately
10 or 12 year's ago I had a horrific chest pain, I was alone and when it wouldn't stop after about 15mins I feared I was going to pass out alone so the first time in my life I called an Ambulance, when they checked my
BP It was off the charts, they immediately gave meba mouth full
of Aspirin and hand full of Nitro and several injections of Morphine.
Nothing was helping, we got to the ER and they worked on me all day trying to get my BP down and stop the pain, I got Morphine every 30 mins but it was no help, finally the nurse whispered she was giving me a pain med that was 10 times stronger than Morphine, whatever it was was working and little by little my BP was coming down, they never gave me the reason forbwhat caused the whole thing but I was put on BP meds and it was only a year or two when the Vertigo started, at first i was intermittent and only 4 or 5 times a year then one day 7 year's ago that attack never went away.
Thanks so much for sharing, I'm going to think seriously on this
I got vertigo about eight years ago. It occurred after I contracted swine flu. It happened on Christmas Day while I was driving. Luckily, I was able to safely pull over and call for help. It lasted through New Years and slowly dissipated.

Fantastic video! I have recently been diagnosed with ALS, and have been having migraines for approximately 50 years, since childhood. Prior to my ALS diagnosis, for feelings of fullness in my right ear, I had many hearing tests and two brain scans. As a result of my latest MRI prior to diagnosis with ALS, it was found that many of the nerves on the right side of my neck, probably going up into my brain stem have made both my arms so weak that my right arm has become nearly useless and I can no longer even lift a cup of coffee with my right arm. I used to be a classical pianist, and around the time that I began having problems with my ear, I began struggling to play scales and cords or anything complicated with my right hand, so I have now sold my grand piano and stopped playing atogether. I have wonderful doctors and support from the ALS Association, and I’ve been handling things well, and this video is so validating and explains so easily things that seem to be happening inside my head. Vertigo has become a problem for me for the last three years, and this is a wonderful video to help me understand.
I've had it when I was younger a few times, then started thinking about the spinning motion as a roller coaster ride , now when I get it , it's a thrill ride into how far I can push myself before it wears off.
I still can't find solution to it for more than 17 years
I really appreciate everyone sharing their experiences I’ve recently over the past 5 days just found out I have vertigo. I’m 21 years old and it was very nerve wrecking especially since no one around me has experienced anything like it. Reading all of these comments knowing that I am not the only one makes me feel better and makes me feel as if I am in a community💛, so far Valium, Meclizine, warm showers/bath and sleeping/bed rest has helped. I’m still very new to all of it so it is a lot to take in but I’m happy to take some of y’all tips and these videos and applying it💆🏾♀️.
Same. I am just 18 and I was so scared cus I was facing this from a few days. Got to know my sinusitis is triggering it and also bec I'm having a lot of coffee lately. Glad to see I'm not the only one.
I can't wait for this to go away have had it for a week now and it makes me feel not to be normal and it's terrible and if you explain to someone who has never experienced it's really bad.😏
Day 7 for me. Scary stuff. Sat up suddenly from sleep to a spinning room and eyes darting all around. Luckily its getting better. Sleeping elevated helps. I think mine is bppv. I have done maneuvers at home to help it. I'm drinking extra water too.
reading this comment and the ones under it helped me alot. i am also 21 but i have been dealing with vertigo for almost two years but it's scary everytime i get it. i suffer from migraines and get sinus infection often which i am now learning causes vertigo too. I wasn't aware of the stress being one of them.
Just replying because of your age. Read my comment above. I'm MUCH older, therefore brain tissue not as fresh, computer-generated games weren't around when i was a kid. neither were computers. But that's how i discovered Vertigo. it's Hell. I wouldn't continue valium for long. Get off the computer. Go to an ashram for a few months if you can.
What an excellent video, thank you! I’ve had vertigo for 32 years and am so worn out and discouraged. No help from doctors - Epley used to help a bit but only at the beginning of a flare up. I also have tinnitus in the same ear. Tomorrow I am trying a CBDG blend tincture routine. I will report back.
Thank you for this informative video. I was diagnosed with Ménière’s disease in my early forties. Attacks were daily and unpredictable. They would last for hours sometimes. Everything the specialist prescribed did not offer relief. I finally had an endo lymphatic shunt performed in a university hospital in Philadelphia It lessened the duration of the vertigo attacks. They finally stopped in my late 60’s. I’m now deaf in the right ear but thankfully no more vertigo
Were you able to work with Meniere’s?
My mom had Menieres also…at least that’s what they thought she had. She would have sudden spells where she would have to last down quickly wherever she was for about 10-15 minutes. I remember once she was in a mall store where she had one of her spells so my sisters and I all layer down with her as she was embarrassed. One day in 1980 my stepdad thought she was having an episode and kept saying Pat, come on wake up…….but it wasn’t one of her attacks….he turned her over and saw blue lips….she had had a heart attack and went in a coma for 32 days before she passed away. I hope and pray that in your case that people won’t assume it’s an attack from menieres…it could be a different attack…..a heart attack! Good luck.,
This explanation is so much appreciated ,especially in my case .Iam a person that has suffered from cronic positional vertigo .At this moment ,iam quite fine thank god .But this brief description of my syptoms have given me great relief.
I just had vertigo today at 4am. While laying down. Standing walking is fine but once I put my head back, there you go. I saw a young doctor but couldn't trust her judgment. I am planning to do medical check up tomorrow. Last year it happened, much milder, but short. I noticed then that I accidentally went total vegan for 6 weeks. So I ate bone broth and lamb soup and immediately I was fine. This time is different. It's persistent. It's been such a day.... Thank you for all of you here who are sharing your experience. It's early for me, but I trust my body intelligence to tell me what's going on.... Hopefully I find the way to self healing and once more, learn about my body and myself.... 🦋
An update: it lasted for a day. My sister, who is an energy healer, advised me to practice deep, belly breathing. I did it until I fell asleep (that night, I sat sleeping, with my back leaning on a pile of 5 pillows). I probably woke up every now and then, but I noticed in between, that even though my head was tilted low, the vertigo didn't return). I woke up almost feeling my usual self, but decided to go to an ENT appointment in a big, international hospital. I was the first patient in queue, but the doctor couldn't come. I was asked to sign up to another ENT later, at first I agreed. But as I sat there, waiting, feeling my usual self, I took it as a sign from the Universe to cancel it. It's been almost a week, and it hasn't come back. Nevertheless I decided to take a rather thorough long overdue medical check up tomorrow. Just to get a big picture of my overall health. The data is important, but how I am going to read it, is even more paramount. And I know, there's no way I will blindly rely on the allopathy medicine system of reading. Their logic of "one pill for every Ill". I want to take control of my health by knowing my body/self intimately. Mind body soul/spirit. Learning about yourself is so rewarding!
Hope this sharing helps others in need.
So what was it bppv?
@@marklopez5659 I would think so. But it's self-diagnosed. I don't run any tests to prove it. It lasted only for a day and night, lucky me. But it was alarming cos it never happened to me before. The room moved rather extreme.

@llulaby in retrospect, I'd say, stress. Then, I remember, I was struggling to come to terms with a big decision I made few months earlier, that was still very much impacting my days. So besides eating sleeping well, I tried my best to reach the inner peace within. One of them through meditation practice. It took me sometimes. But for almost year now, I don't have any symptoms anymore. Hope you will find your own key to healing. Find the roots. Every body is different and unique.
My vertigo is associated with sinusitis. Often in rainy season or in winter I have the problem of water accumulation in my forehead. When I suffer from colds, I do not get a runny nose but can feel the heaviness in the head that shifts according to the position of my head and sometimes ears get blocked. I also sometimes have that vertigo problem that was very severe some years back but now just warns me with some spinning of the head when I suddenly change position. I take regularly one tablet a day of Lemolate that relieves me of this problem.
Excellent,educational, professional, none have ever made such a classical video,Thank you very much.
I have had vertigo for 5+ years. Saw 4 ENT Specialists, PT for vertigo, Steroid injections into ear drum. Nothing worked permanently. Then I had chest pains rushed to hospital with 2 blocked coronary arteries. 2 stents later and 3 years later with no episodes. Docs seem to think blood supply to head could of been the cause. Just my story, but happy it's over none the less. Hope this helps someone.
When I was first diagnosed with vertigo I didn’t know what was going on ever since I had my avm (Brain haemorrhage) it’s been not just on off but a sense of hearing loss but with all my prayers and those those that are worse than myself all in healing with all God’s love.
I've been suffering from vertigo sporadically for a couple years now. I'll be seeing my doctor soon for it since the last episode was so bad that I had to crawl to get to the bathroom and felt extremely nauseated. It was horrible! I tried some exercises from TH-cam this morning and hoping they will help since I had some mild symptoms today. Thank you for this info.

Vertigo sufferers, please see a physical therapist who is trained to perform the Epley Maneuver. It takes only 10-15 minutes to get rid of the vertigo. If you have ever had vertigo, find the physical therapist ASAP so you are prepared for getting this treated immediately next time it happens. The Epley Maneuver treats benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (BPPV), which this podcaster mentions.
@@Nancy-fm1ie absolutely!
Hello Kimberly......
I've had vertigo for 10 years intermittently. I think a combination of poor posture, panic disorder, holding my breath when tense, and jaw clenching have been the contributing factors. Just the other day I was looking down at my phone when all of a sudden my head felt like it was getting whipped around violently. It was so bad that I saw double. Vertigo is probably the worst thing that's happened and keeps happening to me. My episodes usually last for about 5 to 10 seconds but the longest one was 1 min. Relaxation techniques like breathing exercises, meditation, warm bath, stress relief tea, valerian root, walking, and spending time in nature have helped me. I hope this helps those of you suffering from vertigo.
So sorry I have it so bad 👎
Hi, is it working? Because I have the same problem 😔
Sometimes I clench my jaw and/or hold my breath without realizing it. Followed by the spinning, moving, off balance situations.
Sometimes it's very frustrating, and sometimes very scary/dangerous (when I'm driving or riding my motorcycle) I feel like the road was moving in all different directions and hard to keep control. 😔🤷♀️
Looking at my phone or computer screen then moving my eyes to focus elsewhere triggers it for me as well.
I recommend a special tape for vertigo. It treats the body because it is an organic vitamin and has a special energy in it. I saw this with my own eyes in my friend. You see the effect quickly. But the treatment process takes between 3 and 6 months depending on the body.

I have a feeling this is about to become my new favourite channel.
Dude I used to always tell my family that I would feel like the world around me was spinning and that it felt like I was being forced up out my body, but no one believed me as a kid. I used to get it all the time when I was younger and I absolutely hated it. There would be so many times where I felt like I was about to faint, but I always just told everyone I was lightheaded since no one believed me. I remember in elementary school this feeling would just randomly go crazy in class and I guarantee if i didn’t will myself to stay awake I would’ve passed out. This feeling recently got triggered when I went on a Ferris wheel and I thought I’d do some research on it, turns out it was all vertigo/dizziness. Sucks though because I wish I knew this when I was younger, but hey atleast I know I’m not crazy.
hey please tell which doctor treat vertigo
@@hopepym78 Normally, people go to an ENT doctor.
A physiotherapist with vestibular training can also be seen. Some of the peripheral causes of vertigo can be treated at an outpatient visit. If there is suspicion for central causes a visit to the ER would be recommended. I evaluate and treat vertigo regularly in my hospital. Not every PT will have advanced training though.
I relate so much, not knowing the diagnosis as a kid and feeling like you’re going crazy lol I hope you’ve found some relief!
@@hopepym78 After all medical tests go to chiropractor as 2 muscles in head and neck can be the problem. Only one visit helped tremendously
I have a mixture of eczema in my ear, sinusitis, migraine and sometimes hypotension. I have vertigo probably on a daily basis.
Maybe meniere's disease
Seeing everyone talking about it give me some sense of comfort. I had an awful attack today, and I felt as if I was about to die. I have some meds, not sure it it helps, but I got out the house and finished my day still feeling woozy.

Had this a few years ago and never fully got over it.
I had episodes off and on of vertigo for about 20 years. It would be most noticeable lying down and turning my head to the left, or standing and tipping my head back. At times the vertigo was very strong, room spinning. Went to a chiropractor who worked on my neck. Immediate relief. Since then I go back every three months to keep my neck flexible. I have a tendency to tense up the left side of my neck. I watched this to see if neck tension would be mentioned in this video. It wasn't. I am free from vertigo....and migraine headaches cleared up as well. All apparently tension related.
I fully agree with that!
I have been seeing a Chiropractor for 40 years, and to be honest, it is my Chiropractor that keeps me mobile and relatively pain free.
And yes, Chiropractic can, and does, help with a lot more than just "back and neck pain."
Chiropractic can help with a LOT of "Medical" conditions, including high blood pressure, sugar diabetes, digestive issues, pulmonary issues and even erectile dysfunction. It just depends on what is "CAUSING" those problems. And the Chiropractor does it without the use of DANGEROUS and sometimes even DEADLY Prescription DRUGS!
Chiropractors "treat the CAUSE of the problem."
Medical doctors "treat the SYMPTOMS of the problem."
THANKS a Lot fore this info
Greetings. High BP & deficiency of Vit D & B and start of diebets are reasons in my view.
You're fortunate
bless your heart. thank you for sharing this.
I had vertigo for a while, specially while driving , running, heights, etc etc , and I think I have a solution for it. Haven’t had it for a long time. First thing to do: go to an allergist . Make sure you’re not eating something that you’re allergic to , or smell that you’re allergic to , including perfumes colognes cleaning supplies etc. detergent . Mine was citrus , and beef. After changing my diet . It took a minute , close to a month or two. And drinking 5 oz of Benadryl (children’s ) at night before bed or when having vertigo. I promise ! Never had it back. Ya’LL watch what you guys eat , drink , smell. It is worth it to try. And I bet it will go away! Please try ! You guys don’t loose anything. Thank you for reading.
I am bipolar.When I read these comments,I pray to God that all of you get complete recovery & no more anxiety or panic attacks.I had to quit job as I was on roller coaster all the time, energy swings.Thank God, I am recovering with the help of a great psychiatrist.

Thank you for this educational video. I will share it with a friend whose mother suffers vertigo & she is often dizzy & loses her balance.
I’ve been having vertigo for I would say almost 6 months now at mild doses, but last night whilst I was at work I had a bad attack of it where I had to sit down for a good 5 minutes because I was genuinely scared. I have the WORST posture in the world, I have tension headaches almost everyday and I had no clue that posture was linked with vertigo so thank you for this video
Can you please share the video and where to find it to watch it? Thanks
Didnt know posture figured into it either..mine is getting worse until I almost look like a question mark!
thats me also
My vertigo disappeared when the doctors put me in a circular rotating chair....this is in Europe tho.

Your video and comments are very so helpful. Thank you all. I suffer from aura migraines,tinnitus (loud hissing sound) and vertigo. The aura migraine only last for a few minutes, however the vertigo last from two to three days. My ENT doctor checks me from time to time and they made several tests from CT scan to an MRI the good news… No tumors. The head exercises and drinking plenty of water helps.
Thanks for this information, I had vertigo for a while, didn't have money for doctor, thanks God it went away.
I'm not a medical student or in the medical profession, but I so enjoyed this video as I suffer with vertigo, I'm booked for a hearing test, this was very helpful to me, TYFS, and brilliantly explained. Have subscribed😘

I been sufferning a year already and it is almost if not everyday its scary especially since there is no specific diagnosis and ive been negative on alot of test i have an ent appt oct i feel so disabled and just life isnt the same because of the fear of when will i feel it again. Pray for healing for everyone because it is horrible 😢 thank u for ur guys stories i guess im not alone in this
I have just had vertigo for the first time 10 days ago. I couldn’t lift my head off the pillow. It was accompanied by a BP of 210/107. My brain scan was normal. I had the first dose of Pfizer three weeks prior so I delayed the second dose. I am 64 years old, not unfit and weigh under 140lbs and a nurse. It is diminishing but still debilitating because I can’t walk for too long. I am unable to work. I have a very different outlook now towards people who suffer from this terrible symptom. I would like any response from people. Thank you so much for this video, it is extremely well done.
My mom had a severe vertigo episode today and needed to be crushed to the ER and she got the second moderna shot 2 weeks ago . I wonder if the vaccine has something to do with it
My son was also rushed to hospital two weeks after his second Phizer vaccine . He was vomiting and couldnt walk two steps without falling down .He was kept in for 4 days , off work for three months couldnt drive or go out . Nothing like that has ever happened before . All scans were clear , Doctors said it wasnt anything to do with the vaccine . We are 100% sure it was the vaccine . Nobody seems to care . 6 months later he still has severe headaches .
Lovely presentation. Going for MRI for MS, glad I asked my Dr. to book that as you have it listed here. I'm happy with my decision now.
I’ve had this for 4 months now with nausea and vomiting. Been on different medications, done the epley manoeuvre a million time’s, nothing has fixed it. Had a CT scan and nothing suspicious came up. At a loss. Vomiting, nausea, no energy/feeling unwell, sweats, everything!
This is me. Have you had an MRI? I got an MRI and they didn't find anything suspicious either.. Hope your dizziness has let up a bit.
@@JeffWrestledABearOnce if they didn't find anything then it's most likely anxiety meaning is something in your head that is not real and that you must accept and it will slowly disappear.
Im sorry to hear about you but I feel the pain, I also suffering from on and off vertigo for past 6 months. I eved had transcardinal doppler scan to see if there is narrowing of arteries on my neck and brains to detect atheroscelerosis or possible stroke and turn out the result is normal. So doctor still have no clue what caused my vertigo and only prescribed me aspirin and betahistine :(.
Nigel, Gavin's friend BPPV isn’t anxiety nor something in your head. That’s a very insensitive thing to say to someone. BPPV is a very real condition and those who suffer from it know just how horrible it is to live with.
Carere Tei gosh, I’m sorry. I’m still suffering with it too. They doctor has said it’s most likely BPPV and there really isn’t anything that can be done other than hope it goes away eventually :( it’s the worst!!!
Thank you so much for this video. This has helped me a lot, 3 days ago I woke up with a vertigo attack and have been getting them anytime I lie down or bend down (such as picking something up) and it's been super scary. This video helped me figure out I most likely don't have a central problem and most likely BPPV. I did go see a general physician but they didn't do half as much to explain it as you did, 3 mins of asking questions handing me some pills and saying come back in 5 days if it still persists.
THANK YOU for bringing peace of mind by explaining so much more to me.
Did the Meclizine med help?
There are numerous videos of how to self treat. The Epley Maneuver works very well but doctors don't usually use it because they don't make any money actually curing you. Physical therapists and chiropractors are your best shot at relief if you can't do it at home.
Vertigo sufferers, please see a physical therapist who is trained to perform the Epley Maneuver. It takes only 10-15 minutes to get rid of the vertigo. If you have ever had vertigo, find the physical therapist ASAP so you are prepared for getting this treated immediately next time it happens. The Epley Maneuver treats benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (BPPV), which this podcaster mentions.
Yeah
I'm 59 & I got vertigo last spring getting out of bed & it scared the crap outta me. It was horrible that day & I didn't go anywhere. Since, I do feel some dizziness when I turn in bed or tilt my head back, and it wasn't that bad until the other night & it was horrible again. I vomited twice over the day. I heard Dramamine helps & I may take one now & then before bedtime. I never have sinus infections, flu or hearing problems, luckily. My grandma also had vertigo & took prescription for it.
This is weird but when I get vertigo I like to take warm baths when I get vertigo. I think that vertigo gets worse when I begin to panic. The warm water on my skin instantly calms me down and the weightlessness helps a little. I’m not a doctor by any means but I hope this helps someone. Been suffering from vertigo my whole life. I’m 20 now and thankfully have been able to learn to cope with it. It’s not constant but When it hits me it’s horrible. Just remember that those spells won’t last forever! Hang in there guys
WOW. My vertigo started about 20 years ago in a very limited way. Usually one.or 2 days in April. Key allergy time.
It's gotten more frequent and more debilitating. Seriously not amused
ENT doctor said to keep doing the "log roll" exercises to keep the crystals in their proper position.
Cheers man I needed that
I have suffered from migraine most of my life, but these seem to have stopped for the last 3 years and instead
I have now got vertigo.
En espayol
So sorry you had it all your life! My first and only horrible episode sent me to emergency. I felt so alone until I researched it. Now if it occurs again I will try the bath!
I had an inner ear infection that destroyed my life. I woke up 1 day with vertigo, it was so bad I passed out and woke up in the ER. The 2 nerves which were responsible for hearing and balance were permanently damaged, which means I'm deaf on my left ear and I lost my balance forever. It sucks.
Hey Marcus! Try taking lion’s mane mushroom. Hopefully it helps to repair your nerves!
Im sorry to hear that. 😪
Marcus L oh dear how u cope with this?
the same thing happened to me... it is the most horrible experience... my heart goes out to you...
Awwww sorry to hear
Everything feels so weird due to dizziness.... I recall those times when i used to enjoy each and every second of my life but now it has become a mess....
I feel the same. I have been getting headaches so much and now virago and I can’t find the reason. My dr said it’s because I don’t eat enough. It doesn’t happen when I am hungry though.
Same 😔
I just have it
@@kittycat8222 maby i didnt eat enough
Same here use to enjoy life before menopause ,now with the vertigo and ear problem,plus lack of sleep,I have change .
Just wanted to add that traumatic brain injuries can also cause central vestibular problems. I've been dealing with it for the past 5 years since my tbi.

Suffered a stroke in the past that started with dizziness. So having Vertigo was extremely unsettling at first. But it's just vertigo, according to my doctor. I had a minor ear infection causing a build up of fluid in middle ear. Couldn't stand or walk. Granddaughter got the day off of school because I couldn't function. She enjoyed that!
I experienced vertigo for the first time two years ago. I was under so much stress from work and with the pandemic going on, it didn’t help. I feel like I’ve never been the same since then. I do vertigo exercises here and there and they actually help. I need to be more persistent with them though. I hope anyone who suffers from vertigo finds relief and if you’ve never had vertigo, I hope you never do
@@skyre2039 so sorry to hear that! It definitely can be hard and it’s even harder when ppl who have never experienced it don’t understand what we go through. Sending positive vibes your way. I hope you feel better.
I experiencing it today and it's my first time :( I'm only 13 years old. And how is that possible?
@@abcde8320 that’s the same thing I said when I experienced the first time. I’m older than you but I was 28 at the time and that was my first thought because I always heard it was more of an elderly thing or something that happened to those who were in their 50’s and over
I find that when I look up and back it is worse. When I get up from bed I am lightheaded/dizzy. Sometimes it lasts all day. I am going to see ENT and after seeing this I will know what to ask. Thank you so much 🥰🙏🏻
This happens to me also. Luckily it goes away when I follow the instruction exercise the doctor gave me moving my head certain ways.
I found out I had last year
How are you doing? My symptoms are similar to yours.... Hope you can give us an update. Blessings from Tennessee!
You deserve my inscription in your Chanel honestly wish if you were in Morocco to solve my problem ,I had vertigo before not any more but still have the vestibular issue my dream is to visit you one day so I can lead normal life !GOD bless you -cheers
thank you so much for this video, my mother was just diagnosed for vertigo but we didn't get any details on which version or reason for it. now I understand it is BPPV and how to take care of it, once again thank you.
I had sudden onset of vestibular migraine a few years after menopause. My headaches eased but vertigo swept in, in their place. I also have progressing Meniere’s Disease as my mother did. Have constant multi layered tinnitus, with pressure in ears warning of a “ spell”. Also seems related to my cervical spine degeneration. Not a fun situation but I manage.
Hello Mary.......
I don't know if this will help you but you should try to find an UPPER CERVICAL CHIROPRACTOR. They are different than regular chiropractors. I have similar issues but I know the cause of mine. Most drs couldn't find their way out of a paper bag. We all need to do our own homework/research and keep going to different drs until you find one who knows what they're talking about. They need to understand PATHOLOGY.
Hi baby how are you doing I hope you are doing good am Ben from umuahia
This is a fantastic video! This has given me more answers in 10 minutes than I've received in 2 weeks! I've been unable to function until this morning 14 days after the initial attack. I wish I had found this earlier as I now understand what the issue is and now I am educated on the subject.
Thank you for this video I watched a ton of them trying to figure out what was going on with me and this is by far the best explanations of each symptom thank you
I'm 3 years into suffering from Vertigo. Inner left ear seems to be my problem. I do the half summersalt exercise up to 4 times a day waiting 15 to 20 minutes apart. So far this has helped me tremendously. This I learned from my Vertigo physical therapist, plus balance and neck exercises. When I'm feeling off, I start the half summersalt exercise.
My very first vertigo episode left me off balance for 4 days and it was a horrible experience!
You have missed out 2 other important and common causes of vertigo....one that happens from the stiff neck (compression of the arteries or nerves leading to the brain) and psychogenic vertigo which happens during major depression state.Cervical vertigo - also called cervicogenic dizziness - is a condition that causes both neck pain and dizziness. It's related to certain neck conditions. Cervical vertigo can also occur following a cervical spine injury.
For those of you who have Menire's Disease, or end up being diagnosed over the period of a year, I FINALLY found a fantastic doctor. On the road to figure out the cause, possibly an autoimmune/ inflammatory problem. Don't let anyone tell you to get used to living with this. Flight for yourself, you ARE worth it!!!
For Menire's info Dr. David Clark, DC has a lot of info in TH-cam!
Thank you for your explanation, I fully understand now so time for me to visit my doctor. I understand there are exercises to alleviate the problem but not too much is mentioned about prescriptions. or an operation to rectify.
I've been suffering from vertigo and tinnitus for quite some time, have seen doctors, even tried 5 sessions acupuncture... It went worse until last May... An ENT Specialist informed me that i had Meniere's disease and prescribed 'Betahistine' for me..... Great relief. Feeling much better since then. Don't know if it works for everyone but for me it does... Keeping fingers crossed for the future 🤞
Worst part is praying in congregation or standing in big queues!! as I feel ill jus pass out which triggers panic attack etc.. Now i stand in the last lane so I'm more comfortable because no one notices even if panic attack occurs 😁
Hello Wonder......
very helpful, mine has just started with sudden movement onset like getting up suddenly or turning head and of course constant pain in neck literally :) transmitting down to arm shoulder that entire side..
UPPER CERVICAL CHIROPRACTOR, try it.
I think I had this a few days ago, never had it before.
I noticed it first when I turned over in my bed to another sleepin position. It got worse when I closed my eyes or laid my head on my pillow facing left. If I faced right on the pillow it was almost non existant. Very peculiar. Later in the day I noticed if I tilted my head to one side I'd get relief but the other would make it worse.
If I force myself to sneeze a few times And then my nose starts to plug up and I can blow it it will actually alleviate the symptoms quite a bit
I'm having vertigo or something mimicking vertigo-like symptoms since December 8th.
Head feeling heavy, back of neck feeling as if muscles are stiff making my head feel heavier than usual. Head sometimes feels as if something is inside of it sometimes.
Funny thing is these symptoms feel WORSE when I lay down or close my eyes, or turn side to side or lay on my stomach when sleeping. Sleeping isn't even the same anymore because when I sleep it feels as if the weight on my left side is gonna make me fall through my own bed. Sometimes sitting down in my chair feels like I'm swaying. Left leg just feels uncomfortable. Semi off balance when walking (Left leg only) knee even goes a little further back than my right. Even getting on my knee feels like my left one isn't aligned like my right, but it doesn't matter I get a swaying or heavy feeling when I sleep, get on either knee, or close my eyes. Life just isn't the same anymore. The hardest most frustrating thing about it is, doctors can't find the problem. Having so many test done, Primary, Cardio, Neurology, and ENT can't find the problem. But I also feel like they didn't look good enough because of this whole virus plus and my schedules get set back. Diet change isn't even helping much either.
Tried epley maneuver, dramamine, bonine, OTC stuff didn't seem to work.
Sometimes I gets to a point where I can't do much activity around at home and sometimes it's not bad to a point where I can manage. It's getting really depressing they haven't even tried putting me on any medication yet, and I'm getting desperate and willing to do anything for this thing to just disappear from my life entirely. My case of this vertigo or vertigo menieres disease symptom is just crazy hard to describe in my case 'cause it seems like nobody have the exact symptoms I got. Tried searching all over the net for my symptoms to no avail only being that balance disorder, vertigo, meniere's is more like it. I'm really commenting for a reply hoping someone is on the same boat as me, or could help me, cause these doctors can't. The only thing that kinda helps the symptoms subside and not entirely eliminate the symptoms is exercise and that's it and seem like the feeling comes back overtime and gets worse the longer I go without exercise but again not even exercise completely eliminates the problem...
lucky
I totally know how you are feeling right now, I have this heavy head feeling for 9 years, I can not walking without holding my head with my hand. sitting makes it worse. But right now, I feel a lot better. Here is what I did: I went to see a special chiropractor called ABC (Advances Biostructural Correction). That is the only thing works actually, to make my spine even and stand straight. Go to their website and read how it works, you will know why it works and why other stuff doesn't. I can sleep a lot better, functional a lot more than before. I works 7 hours per day, without holding my head right now. So I learnt this methods and trying on all my family right now, my mom's vertigo immediatly got a lot better after the first adjustment. She still feels it now and then but much better. her neck pain was gone. and my dad's waist pain and ringing in the ear was gone after 3 or 4 adjustment.
I suggest you google it and find a doctor near you. Because from your comment I can see a old me... I just want to help you.
another thing which is also very very very important: control your anxiety. that could cause everything.
@@easychineselearning2176 Thank you. It feels better knowing I'm not the only one suffering in that way with the lightheaded and heavyness feeling on my left side. I thought I was the only one having this type of vertigo or whatever mimicking it when there could be another underlying problem difficult to detect. I just had a phone appointment with my doctor due to COVID-19. We're going to try seeing if my insurance will cover everything I need to be seen by a chiropractor. This crap is even ruining my sleep as sometimes I wake up lightheaded even more and feel the heavyness feeling when turning left in bed.
Very hard and strange feeling to explain, but it feels like when I sleep too long on my right my right side of my head feels more fuller and heavier and the longer I sleep on my left it feels like the same way I describe the way I lay down on my right. Sometimes I can manage sometimes It gets so bad activity is limited. The day I first had it I was very dizzy and feeling nausea. nothing else and then this other stuff started getting worse. Dizzyness and nausea stopped though. I will try this, It was started to make me feel a little depressed. Even as I reply to your comment I'm sitting in my chair feeling slightly unsteady even though I'm sitting still. Thank you again, I cannot wait so see how things go. These other doctors doing tests on me have been not much help as everyone keeps telling me I'm fine when I know for sure I'm not. Nobody wants to go home and live on living like this. I cannot imagine going another year with this either. I cannot wait to see how things go to see a chiropractor, I wanna enjoy life and do more activity again!
Oh and I see you mentioned controlling anxiety, I'll be working on that more too.
I do remember feeling anxious and had something on my mind before attempting to sleep that day these symptoms occurred.

Omg I have same problems. Heavy head on the left side and balance problems. How are you feeling now? What did you do to help. I was fine until I started to get panic attacks and anxiety all through December and now I am okay still have balance issues and a heavy head. I am so tired
Great Video, very informative, I now have a better understanding of my type of vertigo, Thank You
In case you have not gotten any relief yet, you can try this. rb.gy/kjc5nh
Thank you because by the time you are reading this I was striked by it and now I know what it is and what was happening because I often get mingrains when I yawn... After several minutes of watching the video it did start to lighten up.. But I knew I should be aware of this..
I have a vertigo and a stroke after few months. 10 year later, I still with vertigo and no doctor can help with that.
The most clear description of vertigo on TH-cam or anywhere on googling thank you
I have Meniere's Disease and my episodes are brought on by foods. I can one day eat a certain food, no problem, and then for whatever reason it'll bring on an episode. I get the ringing in the ears, my hearing gets distorted and the fullness and then for the big finally, nausea and vomiting. Mine last up to a week of hearing issues. The nausea and cookie throwing last about 5 to 6 hours. I believe I ended up with this issue because of ear infections in both ears when I lived in Florida. After the infection, my ears would itch like crazy! To get some kind of relief I would use Q Tips to scratch my ears. Sugar makes them really itch. I try not to use the Q Tips as it aggravates my ears. This is one nasty mean disease!
I have this now, at 71. Vision problems. Prior ear infections when in early 20''s (swimmer's ear). Now I have very itchy ears and when I stick my little finger inside to scratch, so to speak, I sense presence of some sort of liquid (like one gets when one cannot remove all water from ear after swimming). I too used q tips (and other things ). Just spent two days in hospital due to sudden inability to stand or walk, massive sweating, and uncontrollable leg movements (shaking). Can you elaborate on which foods trigger an attack? Also whether vision problems (blurry vision) still persist. From what I 've read, it might not be Peripheral Neuronitis, but Central Neuronitis instead. The ear, neck, eyes all sugger due to connection. Is there a source or Doctor who you know that specializes in this? I live in Southern California. Thank you. I appreciate your input.
@@marcberrenson570 For me, it seems to be sugary and high salt foods. Even fruits will cause my ears to ring and act up. :( Berries are OK but nothing else. I've stopped eating anything that is packaged. I started a LOW CARB LOW SALT diet. I also have started to fast every other day or eat only one meal a day. I notice the more I eat the more my ears ring and feel full. The less food I eat, the better I feel. I don't have a doctor but, I hear Chiropractors who specialize in upper neck area work wonders?! I just haven't found one in my area. Sorry your feeling bad. :( Hope you feel better. :-)
Thank you so much for your sharing your experience it will help me lot to overcome the symptoms

Thank you for your comprehensive information on vertigo I shall talk about it with my doctor and I hope to get better
I had vertigo for the first time, this past couple of months. It lasted for just over 3 weeks. My C1 and C2 were out. Fortunately, the only thing that helped me, where chiropractic adjustments.
Hmm! I will have to visit the chiropractor. My vertigo subsided on its own and I’m hoping it never comes back!
@Christine Hollenbeck. Is it safe to drive when you suffer from vertigo constantly? Was admitted to hosp 2yrs ago with severe vertigo and still have daily episodes. I don't want to drive but my family thinks I'm just too scared.
@@anneclark556 for me, most of the time, I did not. I felt like I was not walking straight, or I would have a sudden urge to have to hold onto something. I think it would depend upon how you are feeling. But, if you don't feel safe, then do not drive. I hope you feel better soon! I never want to experience it again!
@@MySkinnydip I'm not sure what I did to get my neck so out of alignment, but I never want to do it again! I went to the Chiropractor three times. After the first adjustment, I felt worse for 2 days, but that is normal ( I have a few chiropractors in my family). After those two days, I chose to go back two more times, and it was amazing how effective it was!
@@anneclark556 I had to go to the ER and stayed for 2 days. I didn’t feel comfortable driving either but after I drove around a bit with other people, my confidence came back. But I’m very careful and don’t drive the freeway yet.
Extremely well explained doctor . 🙏
I have reoccurring BPPV. Lately, for the last couple of months, it has been when I lay on my left side or tilt my head to the right while bending over. At least I have learned how to adjust to it. Wish it would go away, though.
Hello Pastel......
Mum
Janet Simpkins
Thank you I have found this to be life-changing. I want to stay connected with more ongoing conversations.
Good job Tom!
As a certified youtube vertigo enthusiast, I have a couple of points.
Patients with Meniere's Disease will complain of vertigo which is worsened by head movement, as all causes of vertigo are. Even central causes of vertigo are worse with head movement. But they are not solely triggered by head movement as BPPV is.
Actual traumatic vestibular nerve damage, and hyperviscosity syndromes would both be
very very rare causes of vertigo.
Nice that you mentioned vestibular migraine which is the second most common cause of vertigo after BPPV. But in fact, many patients with vestibular migraine complain that it is positional in nature. And as I mentioned, all causes of vertigo are made worse by head movement. And the episodes of vestibular migraine can last days and sometimes even more. The tricky part is that up to half of their recurrent episodes of vertigo can be isolated, with no headache or visual aura. And in fact, the most common associated symptom with vestibular migraine is photophobia.
Overall very good, Tom.
Peter
all that, to say “all causes of vertigo are worsened by head movement”, which you said twice
overall poor,
Dick

When I first had vertigo problems I was thinking that I could have a major impact in my brain. I was thinking that I'm on a boat in a storm and I thanks for this video showing and explaining everything things that I learned from this particular problem.
