  • Have you taken the course? If not, it addresses all four recommendations I give in this video in depth. It is FREE. thesteadycoach.com/free-course
    As you're working on recovering from medically unexplained chronic dizziness (PPPD, MdDS, vestibular migraine, cervicogenic dizziness, post concussion syndrome, etc.), you may have heard stories of people who report recovering for a period of time and then having their symptoms come back. This video explains why I have seen this happen and what factors you can work on to prevent recurrences.
    Note: this video does not cover motion triggers and events because I do not believe that these triggers and events lead to CHRONIC symptoms, although they can certainly lead to TEMPORARY symptoms. Chronic symptoms are occurring due to a nervous system error, as outlined in this video: • Why you have PPPD, MdD...

    The study I referenced: Persistent postural perceptual dizziness is on a spectrum in the general population
    Georgina Powell, Hannah Derry-Sumner, Deepak Rajenderkumar, Simon K. Rushton, Petroc Sumner
    Neurology May 2020, 94 (18) e1929-e1938; DOI: 10.1212/WNL.0000000000009373
    00:00 Intro & when you should NOT be watching this video!
    02:01 The words we use MATTER (why I don't use terms like "relapse" and "remission")
    03:08 What is a recurrence?
    03:53 Dizziness (to a degree) is NORMAL - studies have actually illustrated this
    06:21 Reason 1: someone recovered passively ("I don't know how I recovered" or was treated passively)
    08:18 Reason 2: someone still has a lot of health anxiety or fear of recurrence
    10:17 Reason 3: someone recovered just by focusing on responses to symptoms or neuroplasticity surrounding symptoms
    12:21 Reason 4: extreme stress or trauma turns the fight/flight response back on
    13:21 Suggestion 1: educate yourself - dizziness is normal, and chronic dizziness is a nervous system response
    13:43 Suggestion 2: must address health anxiety and fear of symptoms
    14:02 Suggestion 3: address your hypervigilant nervous system and past experiences
    14:42 Suggestion 4: focus on self compassion and reduce internal stress DISCLAIMER: Please note that Yonit Arthur, The Steady Coach and any of our other guests are not acting as an audiologist nor offering audiology or medical services services or advice on any public videos or on any other content.

    "dizziness symptoms are normal." This is a big help to hear, as I'm currently going through weird sensations of feeling a bit "off" and dizzy, but I honestly think it's because of the humid weather and being perimenopausal and right before my period. But of course my trauma from having had extreme vertigo for years instantly makes me panic as soon as something is a bit off. I've been near symptom free the past weeks and felt great, so this right now is scary. Thank you for the video, it helps a lot!

      Same thing happening to me. For the past 2 weeks I was starting to feel back to normal and was doing more things. Now I’m getting dizzy/lightheaded again(like I’m going to pass out) and I’m scared I’m going to end up right back where I was. Not sure what is triggering it. But since I started feeling this again, it’s like ptsd-my anxiety gets out of control the second I even think I’m starting to feel “off” again.

    • @TheSteadyCoach

      This is a really big issue for people as they recover! They're not even sure what normal is anymore. It is so important to realize that the spectrum of normal can include these sensations sometimes and it's not a cause for alarm.

    When I become dizzy, I try to say to myself, I can handle this. I have no evidence I can't. So I just rest and go at it again. Maybe the next day. Helps for me. I try to not avoid things, but not overdo it. My ENT said it's the best therapy too. I learn so much from you, thanks so much.

    Hi Dr Yo, fantastic video, it is SO reassuring to hear things like dizziness symptoms are normal.
    I know personally how easy it is to somehow forget that we’ve all experienced dizziness and odd sensations before but not had the fear.
    I still remember swimming in the sea all day long when I was about 12, in bed that night I felt like I was still in the sea but there was no fear and I didn’t think twice about it in the morning. Fear is the bad guy!! Thanks Dr Yo 😊

    Oh Dr. Yonit, you nailed me to a T describing the person who has symptoms again! I’ve been scared of “what if it happens again?” Then after working hard to do things in my life that have worried me bc “what if it comes back,” I got the rocking feeling in my head last night in bed after a wave a dizziness rolling over. (I definitely had BPPV and we were debating VM & I’ve been battling headaches all week). My body started to panic and I had to talk myself off the ledge (lots of praying too). However this morning I feel spacey (which I know happened last year after my big BPPV attack) but trying to keep myself from going down the “what if this lasts longer than today,” is hard!!!!

    I'm currently having brief intervals where the pppd etc stops. Mainly mornings and in bed during the night. Only for 5 mins but I have had this and mdds symptoms 24/7 for 6 months. All the mdds symptoms have gone (except occasional bob)after the smart optometry exercise that I only did 3 times. I started your course a month ago and found your channel and can say with all my heart you are a lifesaver. Thankyou and for this video, I feel I'm near the end of the line❤

      Melissa, I am so sorry to hear about your loss. I know it's not fun to feel symptoms increase like this, but post-journaling and post-stress symptoms are sure signs of neural circuit dizziness, so pop that onto your list of evidence that this is what is happening. I hope things stabilize for you soon.

    Hi Dr. Yo! This is the first time I've commented on one of your videos but want to express my appreciation that goes beyond words can say for what you've done for me and so many others with your channel! I was diagnosed with mdds and vestibular migraine after a stressful trip I took last July, but I've had major improvement take place since then, with much thanks to you! I did want to ask if you have thoughts or a video that talks about barometric pressure & it's effect on dizziness symptoms? I find I can go for long stretches with no symptoms at all, but then I'll have a series of several days in a row with the "trampoline walking" feeling. When I check the pressure, it's always when it falls below about 1020 mbar when I have that symptom, but when it goes back up I'm symptom-free again. Strange, but seems to be a pattern for me!

    Hello Dr.Yonit.
    Seriously just in time! i was contemplating whether tools (awareness, acceptance etc) for anxiety disorder recovery is applicable considering chronic dizziness is also rooted from overactive nervous system. So the answer i got from u is: yes, it is applicable, but may not be enough. (Pls correct me if i got this wrong though) Digging past trauma is required, which i really try to avoid, to recall what i wanted to forget.
    To share something interesting (for me at least), as i watched through your interview videos (the latest with Dr. David Clarke), i talked to my wife what might possibly be traumatic event that could have hunted me not too far in the past. She mentioned a horrible event of my family conflicts early 2020 that made me woke up from my sleep instantly sprinting through the house to stop 'the hair pulling' event that, may not be dangerous, but horrendous to say the least. The moment my wife recall the event from her perspective, the tinnitus i've experiencing since i notice chronic dizziness literally stop, no kidding! (Is this even possible?) I was so suprise that i couldn't sleep the whole night. Of course, it came back but at a much lower intensity, much lower.
    Convinced what may need to be done, i went back to the 'event scene', detecting my heart bpm passed 100bpm & tell myself the message of safety a.k.a. no more danger here as what u've teached us. Sounds fluffy 😅 after doing it my heart bpm still beat fast but i may need to give more time for myself.
    By the way peoples involved in the traumatic event has come to good term. Somehow i may only be the one who was badly affected by the event.

    Greet Info Doc, But i have never seen i vidoe whit Vertigo Attacks why you geting them, I think.
    For me it is vertigo attacks from time to time, when i get them, this is when the symptoms are at their worst, Usually have symptoms 4 to 5 days, then it gets better, and then Vertgio attack again, But sometimes I can have been free of symptoms up to 2 weeks almost, barely feel the symptoms.

    • @TheSteadyCoach
      @TheSteadyCoach  ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Vertigo attacks are less common among people with neural circuit dizziness, but they do happen, and as long as they are medically unexplained, I consider them neural circuit symptoms as well. It can occur because of a brain error in interpreting information from one ear.

    Hi Dr. yo, I have recently came a crossed your videos. I have also been reading some of your information on your courses. I have been diagnosed with Meniere’s disease. I’ve had it for 14 years the last two years have been relentless. My question to you is, do you think that your courses and techniques will
    help me? I would also like to talk to you a little more in depth about what’s going on. Is there a way for me to contact you?

    • @TheSteadyCoach
      @TheSteadyCoach  ปีที่แล้ว

      Hi Debbie, I'm sorry to hear about what you've been going through. When it is truly Meniere's disease, the issue is that the inner ear has suffered from tissue damage and that is causing the symptoms. In those cases, my techniques will not be as effective as they would be for someone with a neural circuit issue. However, my observation is that many people who have been diagnosed with Meniere's do not actually have ear damage, in which case their symptoms are neural circuit problems. And, current studies suggest that Meniere's has a possible migraine and autoimmune component, which DO respond to the methods I talk about. Unfortunately I am not accepting new one on one clients at this time, but I will soon have a colleague who will be able to help people with new consultations.

    Hey Dr Yo.
    What's your opinion of "functional neurology" practices that use tools such as Multiaxial Chairs that claim to be able to treat PPPD? Supposedly they're more for BPPV, but the argument is it helps with rewiring the brain in general. Have you ever recommended trying it to patients, or have you heard any personal success stories?
    Thank you for all you do for us!

    • @TheSteadyCoach
      @TheSteadyCoach  ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Hi there! I have pretty negative views of them primarily because I've seen my clients duped out of thousands of dollars for treatments that did not work. I have seen practitioners try to charge people HUNDREDS of dollars for 30 minutes of standard VRT exercises that any physio would be able to provide at low cost (or for free with insurance). That may be totally unfair and biased because maybe there are lots of people out there for whom it DID work and I just don't hear from them. There is not a single bit of evidence to support the use of multi-axial repositioning chairs for PPPD treatment- and that is saying something, because it is in the best interest of the manufacturers of said chairs to sell as many of them as possible. In my opinion, it's placebo.

    Dr. Yo, it is possible that “rushing” around can make it come back? That’s the only thing that I can think of that is within the “dig deeper” angle of it. I was pushed into fight or flight a few months before I got dizzy because of a traumatic experience, but I felt like I had worked around that in the work I did when I first seemed to get out of it all. Now that it’s back, my mind is racing wondering if it was the rushing or if I need to do more work on the traumatic thing that happened. Thank you for your time and insight!!!

      Additionally - I have CPTSD so would neuroticism be possible reason as well?

    • @TheSteadyCoach
      @TheSteadyCoach  ปีที่แล้ว

      The real question (to me) is why the rushing? When I hear this, I get curious- what longtime patterns cause someone to go into overdrive and rush around all the time? CPTSD often means someone is constantly in a state of fight/flight, which means that when those patterns get activated (even when something not super stressful is triggering it), that person is already on a hair trigger. To me, and I recognize my bias, this means that it's a good idea to see how the PTSD is playing into all of this.

    I have a question for you I am going through menopause now !!! Can that be a sign of why I’m feeling so off-balance because now it’s not spinning it’s the wobbly feeling and lightheadedness so it’s kind of changed like I said I had an MRI they didn’t find anything so can it be hormonal???
    After I went to the gym, I felt really good and then later on again, I started getting that really wobbly feeling. It’s very frustrating but I’m trying to do the exercises that I watched on your channel with excepting the feeling and trying to relax myself.😢 it does get very frustrating because I’m an active person and it has set me back and even created anxiety which sucks
    I read all these comments about peoples experiences, so it’s kind of comforting to know that you’re not the only one going through this slight hell by myself ❤ i’ve heard so many things about menopause and dizziness and lightheadedness are side effects from menopause.

      Hi Aakash, the big determining factor to know if it's PPPD is whether medical testing is normal and nothing else explains the symptoms. If anti anxiety medication stopped it, chances are it's neural circuit dizziness, but there are anti anxiety medicines that suppress the vestibular system as well so that is not definitive.

    Hello Dr Yonit I love your videos. I’ve been diagnosed with pppd having it for 5 months now. I know exactly when it started after drinking too much on New Year’s Eve and blacking out I was sent to the ER and when I woke nurse told me I had very low blood pressure. Since then I’ve been dizzy everyday and have no physical medical problems. I’m not typically an anxious or depressed person neither. My question is if my root problem was low blood pressure the acute event that started my pppd how would I fix it cuz my pressure is stable everyday. And it s not an ear issue or anxiety or depression like it seems most others are. I kinda feel like an outcast as to how I’ve gotten this and alone.

    • @TheSteadyCoach
      @TheSteadyCoach  ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Hi Tyler, there are many people with mindbody symptoms who also suffer from low blood pressure. Sometimes these people are diagnosed with POTS. Listen to Season 3, Episode 33 of the Cure for Chronic Pain podcast. It’s a success story from someone who suffered from hypotension as well as many other mindbody symptoms. She is 100% well now. Also to clarify- many people here did NOT have anxiety, depression or any such symptoms prior to dizziness. The stress response we discuss here is often an unconscious process.

    Since I have been taking antidepressants my symptoms have almost completely disappeared. I don't know if it's coincidence or not 🙏

      It's an anti anxiety med . if your not anxious about it anymore it will go away. No more fear

      An SSRI also helped me immensely with my recovery, and symptoms became barely noticeable. Unfortunately, they returned once I tapered off the med so due to my anxiety and symptoms returning, I’m going back on the SSRI.

      SSRIs and SNRIs are commonly prescribed- they are anti anxiety and can absolutely help. The issue is, like Courtney described in this comment thread, that if they are just masking the anxiety and someone is not addressing the underlying sources of anxiety, that is a missed opportunity.

    Hello, I was wondering if you have any advice for cases where there might actually be a second attack on the vestibular system. I got chronic dizziness from covid and have just tested positive again. Having the virus attack my vestib system set everything off in the first place..is there a way to ensure this doesn't happen again? or does it depend a bit on the kind of virus you contract so then you just have to be mindful of the stress response to avoid chronic symptoms even if you get some transient ones while ill?

    • @TheSteadyCoach
      @TheSteadyCoach  ปีที่แล้ว

      Correct! It is HIGHLY unlikely the virus would attack your ear again. Beyond the usual things to strengthen your immune system to help yourself recover from illness, your job is to deal with anxiety and stress to prevent any dizziness from becoming chronic.

    I have all the symptoms of PPPD so always have some degree of head pressure. I pulled my neck right below my skull which gave me increased pressure. This pressure built up to a point where it made my symptoms worse and gave me the swaying sensation on and off for weeks. But anything I do that sets the pressure off like looking down or even singing just builds pressure in my head to a point where my dizziness gets worse. Just cannot work it out as I always got head pressure from dizziness now its the other way round too

    Hi Dr. Yo I have read medical articles saying pppd is seperate from psychiatric or emotional problems and that there are seperate brain changes in pppd people. (Also Brain changes in pppd people compared to people without pppd)
    What are your thoughts on these two things? If it’s not related to psych or emotional then doesn’t that make is a physical problem? Thank you

    • @TheSteadyCoach
      @TheSteadyCoach  ปีที่แล้ว

      Yes, thank you for this question! Saying PPPD is associated with brain changes is like saying that when someone has a broken arm, there is a broken bone in that person’s body. It’s just a description of the problem. Of course PPPD has associated brain changes. This is just a description of the fact that brain processing for vestibular (and emotional) stimuli has changed in PPPD. Anyone who understands the neural circuit idea won’t be surprised by these results. Similar studies have shown processing changes (“brain changes”) in people with chronic pain, and that those changes reverse with appropriate treatment. Studies show allllll sorts of things produce reversible changes in brain structure- even good things like meditation. The brain is plastic from birth til death. As for the psychiatric issues- YES! Many of my clients did NOT have anxiety, depression, psychiatric diagnoses prior to PPPD. Stress illness is not a psychiatric or psychological illness. These researchers are not looking at people who coped well (on the outside) with their lives but who have unresolved stress and trauma.

    How come you don't have diet as an underlying cause as well as the others you have listed? I bet if you surveyed your patients they are probably all on some variation of a modern western diet eating a lot of cooked foods with a lot of excitotoxin additives which are known to have detrimental impact on the brain and nervous system. Even most salad dressings and even canned tomatoes contain citric acid. Sooo many grocery items contain "Natural Flavors" and various "proteins" made in a laboratory. Or/and they are "enriched" and "fortified". Do you find a history of constipation or IBS is something they all have experienced? If so wouldn't that indicate toxicity which some effective detox measures could permanently eliminate?

    • @TheSteadyCoach

      Hi Emily, while I of course advocate for healthy diet and exercise, I do not view dietary considerations as causational in PPPD, MdDS and other medically unexplained chronic dizziness. Many of my clients HAVE taken extreme measures with their diets to no avail, sometimes for years at a time. This is consistent with the experiences of many others with central sensitization syndromes. If you’re open to hearing a different viewpoint on this, please consider listening to this interview: th-cam.com/video/7w2L-F80Qgo/w-d-xo.html

      @@TheSteadyCoach I'm not talking about a restrictive diet. I'm talking about eating a species appropriate water rich diet comprised of foods most easily digested and utilized by the human frugivore's GI tract - with no limitations/restrictions on the amounts. It turns out the healthiest peoples in the world who often live to 150 years old and never experience any chronic or degenerative condition eat this way. The Abkhasians, Vilcabambans and Hunzas are written about in John Robbins HEALTHY AT 100 book. The composition of the foods they eat turns out to be less than 10% of their calories in protein a little more than 10% of calories in fat and about 80% of their calories from unrefined carbohydrates - mostly raw whole raw fruit and raw veg. Very little is cooked and when it is, it is boiled or steamed or poached with water. Dr. Douglas Graham also talks about the 80/10/10 concept in his book.
      Also I agree that our experiences/stress and thinking about it has a lot to do with our physical health. I'm not saying our food is the only cause, but eating mostly the wrong foods and a highly dehydrating diet certainly has a negative impact on our health - whether western medicine wants to admit it or not. All anyone needs to do is give up animal products - especially dairy for a few weeks and eat raw fruit and vegetable salads instead to see how much better they will feel including how much more cleaned out they will be as well as pain free.
      Did you know protein causes pain? Protein exacerbates a LOT of conditions yet everyone is brainwashed to think they "need" it when human mother's milk contains less than 7 percent and on that small amount, consuming only that a newborn triples in size its 1st year. So why on earth would adults "need" more protein than is in fruit and vegetables? It makes no sense!
      People can experiment on themselves. Especially anyone with arthritis or other pain can cut out nuts and seeds and all animal products and replace that with raw fruit and veg and see how they feel. After a week, they can start eating a lot of protein again and see if they don't feel an immediate return of pain.
      When people give up the animal products and the cooked foods they are able to begin to reverse most if not all of the "incurable" conditions just by eating the way they are meant to. Millions of people have cured themselves this way especially with the addition of whole herbs (not to be confused with man-made vitamin and mineral supplements chemically isolated from their constituents which are hardly natural nor do they have the same effect on the body).
      BTW Dr. Michael Greger on his NutritionFacts.org website and TH-cam channel has found studies that debunk the so called "Paleo Era" where we are told man began killing animals and cooking them. Those findings showed that fossilized human feces had way too much fiber in them for humans to have been eating meat not to mention tools were way too crude to be successful killing animals.
      Dr. Graham points out that all mammals were created to be able to find and consume plenty of food for its specific species in Nature and to eat it in its natural state. Humans are not naturally drawn to eat animals in their natural states. But we ARE drawn to delicious ripe sweet fruit.

    Dear Sir, can you put the Croatian language on your videos?

      Hello! TH-cam provides auto translations and unfortunately they keep changing the languages that are included. You are not the only Croatian on my channel and I am so sorry that that translation isn’t available for you. There is a transcript you can download and then put it into Google Translate if you wish. That might help.
