Why Exercises Aren't Fixing Your Chronic Dizziness (Part 2: What's Next!)

- In our last video on this topic, we covered why biological factors (such as ear damage or migraines) are only one part of why you're experiencing chronic dizziness. Today we dive deeper into the neurochemical, psychological, social and emotional factors that are making your dizziness worse. We start to cover some ways to address those issues.

Everyone with chronic dizziness needs to hear you. Brilliant! Thank you!
I get the urge sometimes to yell these messages in online support groups 😄. But honestly I think people have to be ready and willing to hear it!
absolutely
This made me giggle - you described me down to a T! Type A, obsessive, detail-orientated, logging my symptoms etc. I even know, deep down, that this is why I am not helping myself and reinforcing my symptoms. Thank you. It takes someone to 'give it to you straight' sometimes to realise these things. Keep up these great videos!
It takes one to know one, as they say!! I'm so glad it made you giggle to realize I was talking about people just like you. You're so welcome!
@@TheSteadyCoach Bless you
@@artsolute_beginner How are you ?
I very much enjoyed this perspective, reassurance and confirmations.
Thank you, Shannon. It's not the conventional approach, but I see people get better this way.
I really love your Channel. Thank you 🙏🏽 Your words are so comforting.
You're very welcome, Caroline! It is truly my privilege to be able to help and share this information.
Thank you so much for your videos. They are truly empowering. I am so Greatful to you, with so much 💕 love.
You are so welcome. The powerlessness that often comes with dizziness is something no one deserves.
Thank you Yonit for these wonderful videos on your channel ! your videos are not only helping patients but other audiologists too ! I'm a vestibular audiologist and I learned from your videos more about Vestib rehab and counseling +++. Keep it up !
Mickel, thank you SO much for those kind words, you don't even know how much it means to me! I have nightmares of being chased by audiologists with pitchforks for talking about the mind-body connection in the context of audiology!
I love you! You popped up in my suggested videos today bc I’ve been using TH-cam for vrt and I’m so glad I clicked on your videos. Dizzy for over 3 years now with no clear diagnosis bc it started as VN and morphed into (what I believe) is MDdS or pppd and VM. I’ve seen every specialist there is 2-3 times and nothing. I’m tired of living like this so I’m being my own advocate and doing something about it, your videos are a huge help! God bless you ❤️
Amanda, it is amazing that you are advocating for yourself in this way! You are in good company- pretty much everyone I work with has suffered for years without good answers. Our medical system is not very good at helping people with chronic dizziness. But medicine isn't the only answer. You CAN and WILL get better! Please tell me if you have any specific questions I can help answer. :)
@@TheSteadyCoach I’ve never used medication, I always try to resolve health issues by way of a natural route. I am in several vestibular disorders groups bc we help each other and listen bc nobody else understands and we all share advice of how to heal…I will be sharing your videos to my group members in hopes they view your videos and find relief. There’s millions of us in these groups with these problems and lots are joining bc they got dizzy from covid or the 💉and I did get better but contracted covid in April and I’m back to square ☝🏼 with dizziness and headaches. To anyone who may read this, try blueberries and turmeric with b complex vitamins, it is helping
@@Kenoqueen it is a very lonely condition that doesn’t get enough attention because it’s invisible. I’m so glad you’ve been able to find support. Some support groups I’ve seen can be a little scary for patients since there are so many anxious people on there, so I’m thrilled to hear you have a good one!! Have you read Victory Over Vestibular Migraine by Dr. Beh? He has an amazingly comprehensive list of all the supplements he has found helpful for his patients.
Same here dizziness 24/7 40 doctors can't even know what I have 🤷♂️
How are you ?
Dr. Arthur, I just want to say that I really appreciate your videos and that you truly seem to be a patient advocate. I’m a 51 year old firefighter paramedic dealing with MdDS (from what I’ve researched). I don’t see a whole lot of other doctors willing to put this information AND HOPE out there for people to use. I use your tips and exercises and was going to dive in head first into your program, but I’m waiting to see the neurologist because my primary doc says my MRI came back showing “mild contusion of frontal lobes.” My head situation is long and complicated, but I think it’s a combo of biological, psychological, and lifestyle. Anyways, thanks again for the hope and helping my get my symptoms to plateau and get easier to deal with. 🙏🏻
Good to meet you and I am so glad you found me. It’s a really good idea to get that medical clearance. I’d love for you to watch this video in preparation: th-cam.com/video/oEI087rsOPA/w-d-xo.html
Hi! Is there any way I can have a session with you online? :) also... you’re so correct in being highly strung 😆 I was a very anxious person even before the dizziness arrived. You’re right that when I’m doing something I enjoy... I don’t notice the dizziness as much! But, as soon as I stop, it comes back!
Yes! Being Type A can be a double edged sword! I'm so glad you connected to this video! You're welcome to e-mail me at thesteadycoach@gmail.com - I do work with people online and I will be happy to share exactly what that would look like.
The Steady Coach thank you ! I’ve emailed you :)
Thank you so much for making these videos! You really make it easy to understand these multi-faceted issues with chronic dizziness. I've been dealing with vestibular migraines and PPPD for almost a year and only just got diagnosed a month ago.
Thank you for the kind words! It takes so long for many people to get diagnoses and to figure out a plan moving forward. For both PPPD and migraines, it is very important to understand how your internal state affects symptoms! I hope these videos give you some actionable steps to take. I'll have a new one out this weekend about how to build your own treatment plan- stay tuned!
How are you ?
@@yendryrojas Completely recovered from my chronic dizziness :)
@@simm231 excellent!!!! Take medication ?
@@yendryrojas Therapy was what worked best for me. Reducing focus on the dizziness, learning to accept the feeling, gratitude and doing some work on issues I had never really dealt with properly. I do take medication as well, but that’s for a separate issue and my dizziness was pretty much gone by the time I went on it.
Thanks
Hey Dr. I’m a successful rapper but what most people don’t know is I suffer from CRIPPLING dizziness/pppd along with some other symptoms. Would love to connect and work with you on improving my condition. I’ve had it since 2011 and seen countless medical professionals but have never made much progress. I will send an email - thanks ahead of time! Big fan of these videos
I can already tell you have an interesting story to tell! Looking forward to connecting!
How are you ?
Hello, this is Stefanie from Germany. I find your new channel helpful!!!
This disease ruined my life! Nobody helps in Germany!
The VRT exercises are not difficult for me - but my everyday life does not work at all.
My static balance is good, but my dynamic balance not. Walking around corners and curves, turning, bending over, quick movements, quick changes of direction: for example tidying up or cleaning (left, right, up, down, bending over and again and again) - I completely lose my orientation and balance and feel terrible! Or shaking my head in conversations (no no, yes yes), awful.
I've been training this for a year and don't know what to do anymore?!
What would you recommend? Thank you so much for your help!
Hi Stefanie! I have been hearing from many people in Europe and the UK who are having trouble getting help with their chronic dizziness. Your symptoms are very familiar - in fact some of my patients can do yoga/balance postures fine, but when they move around, they feel terrible. The issue is not so much that the balance system is not working, it's that the brain isn't responding correctly to the information it's getting. The trick is finding exercises that DO make you feel dizzy (like nodding yes, shaking head no) and then controlling the symptoms that you bring up. That is how we teach the brain to respond differently to them. If the exercises are easy, then we are not teaching the brain a new response. I have the video - "Stop your dizziness by changing your brain pt 1" that explains how to do that using triggers. Give that a look and see if that makes sense?
How are you ?
I have been PPPD SINCE 01/03/2020 I’ve had the chronic dizziness 24/7 non stop since.
Yes.. I’ve been to several Drs and had therapy but only got worse. I do have Fibromyalgia and on disability for Panic Disorder Depression and anxiety. I need help!! It has totally changed my life. I was told I had an acute vertigo attack by a neurologist at Duke Hospital.
See my other response :)
How are you ?
How can I find a personal trainer to work with me for PPPD? I have
Before I try the free course (thank you for that) if I have tinnitus, severe deafness and have been told I have endolymphatic hydrops issues (Menierre's), should I just try for the biologics or can I rewire the brain? Thanks again. I got way worse after a respiratory virus last year. Wasn't Covid positive but sure felt like it .
Hi Kathy, I have a video coming out about this soon. Short story: the course will still help even with documented tissue damage. A portion of the symptoms is still likely resolvable by addressing nervous system.
I’m not sure if I should try VRT or not. My question is do you have to do vrt to get better? I have never tried it, so I feel like I should do it… but when I do it.. I only think more about the dizziness and do it to get rid of the dizziness.. so I feel like it’s going against the whole concept of healing. If the recommendation is to do vrt, for how long do I do it for before seeing results or knowing “ ok this isn’t working move on” ?
Hi my mine symptoms is floor moving sensation, worse when sitting or standing still .A neurologist diagnosed me with pppd and gave some supplements ,prescribed VNG TEST it came back all negative and has prescribed VRT classes .i couldn't go to the VRT classes because i got infected with covid 2nd time despite 3 doses of vaccine .Plus I am working in construction field .i am in my 20s and this dizziness is hampering my confidence. Despite it being there I am managing my daily activities. The floating sensation becomes worse as day progresses . I don't notice it when I am engaged like driving , watching a movie, being with friends .pls suggest weather I should start the VRT exercises and other regular exercises.
Hi Abdul, in general the best possible thing you can do is get moving, but I find that usually when people have symptoms that don't go away, exercises are not enough. Have you seen the course? It's completely free, it has a VRT program in it and it'll explain the role that stress is playing in your dizziness. Check it out. members.thesteadycoach.com
@@TheSteadyCoach I wish exercise was enough ,I don't want to take meds as I can't afford them . Should I combine the VRT mentioned in free course with the VRT sessions given by doctor or do any one .and pls let me know can not sleeping properly trigger this condition ? And is floor moving sensation common ?
@@abdulaleem600 How are you ?

Have you adressed oscillopsia due to vestibular neuritis? Does the brain adapt? Still have oscillopsia 5 yrs. Later. Improved but not gone.
Yes- th-cam.com/video/MsWYyDWuu_s/w-d-xo.html th-cam.com/video/o0F6n_QB4iU/w-d-xo.html

I can't hold a job because of dizziness, it comes and goes and usually worse when I am in a hurry, in public, or just comes from bending over and lasts all day. Has it off and on for 20 years. I feel useless and depended on medication and my husband, so greatful to him for saving my life and helping me financially.
I can hear your pain in your comment. You feel stuck because your triggers are things anyone would have to do during normal daily life.
How are you ?
How can I join? I don’t know how to do it
Hi Karen, you can join the community at community.thesteadycoach.com/
Please tell me how I can find a personal trainer such as your self to work with me for PPPDI have seen numerous doctors just as you say in your videos that other people have experienced and I have had this since January 03 2020 and my dizziness has been nonstop it’s every day 24 seven it has changed my life completely I have had therapy and nothing worked my therapist actually told me I was getting worse instead of better but I noticed on your videos I was not getting the proper therapy that was needed for the PPPD I just lost my husband six months ago and I have been trying to do the exercises by myself which is very hard sometimes because of the dizziness and I am alone and no one with me to work with me I need to know how to get in touch with an organization or someone who can help me I am desperate please help me! Thank you so much for your videos as I was scrolling through TH-cam I found the videos on PPPD I was told by a neurologist at Duke Hospital that I had had an acute vertigo attack and I was 4 1/2 hours away from home to see that neurologist his diagnosis was the PPPD and I needed the therapy my therapist corresponded with the doctor and again the doctor said that I should have a few treatments of the therapy and I should be better but that was not the case I only got worse so I hope you can understand that I am very desperate I feel like I am totally disabled because of this dizziness I do have a disability of a panic disorder with depression and anxiety and I also have fibromyalgia.
Hi Debbie, you have been through so much. It is not fair and I am so sorry you are suffering like this. With all you are suffering, my absolute best recommendation would be to consider working with a therapist who specializes in psychophysiological disorders. The dizziness in your case is very likely coming from the same place as the anxiety, depression, panic attacks and fibro- your central nervous system.There is a directory here at ppdassociation.org. I also have a ton of information in my free course about how to get started in dealing with the dizziness itself in a systematic way, and I have lots of counseling resources listed there as well. members.thesteadycoach.com
