It is such an honor to share Prasanna's story of recovery from extreme and debilitating symptoms of PPPD, including dizziness, visual symptoms, instability and imbalance. In this candid and articulate interview, Prasanna shares his experience and explains how he recovered. His symptoms began in May 2021 and he found my TH-cam channel and started getting help about a year ago. Please enjoy!

00:14:14 He was determined not to take medication
00:16:19 Looking back, the stressors that led to nervous system hypervigilance
00:19:21 at the lowest point, weeks without sleep, crawling up the stairs, feeling like he couldn’t go on

Very relatable and inspiring story . The dizziness is not here forever its just a side effect of a nervous system that was in stress/ fight or flight
5 years nonstop dizziness for me. I've lost everything and am unable to function and felt so alone. In bed now dizzy feeling hopeful that I'm not alone and someone else had it as bad as I am. You've been so helpful
To cheer you up. I had almost 3,5years brainfog and i lost many as well. Almost myself and now i have to say, only i changed was few things that i learn here and now i write this message with open mind without brain fog. I am not fully recovered but i dont have to be. Even one single hour when i notice i dont have a brainfog is like NEW WORLD to me :)
... and probably your story will start like mine. From the very moment when you stop be afraid your dizziness is structural or other organic problem. When you admit its really psychological, everything start to be easier and suddenly informations and special sentences from stories which can hit something in you to really ensure you that you are on right path will come to you almost every day :)
@@Pavel_Frantathank you so much for the encouragement and kind words. I absolutely believe it!
I just love this thread. ❤️❤️❤️
I got well after 9 years of dizziness including so many days of being in bed dizzy. These methods really work!!
@@Pavel_Franta This is very true. Well said.
My heart goes out to prasanna, I have PPPD symptoms and I wouldn’t wish on my worst enemy.
I’m on my healing journey and I can’t wait to get better.
hey what are some things you are doing to heal?
You will get there, Sweta. I completely agree- I am in awe of people’s courage every day.
Hi Sweta, thank you for your comments. I hope you get better soon. We all can get better and thrive again.
Prasanna's account of the "rushing" feeling happening during sleep really hits home. And, the thoughts about not being able to live with this condition.
It’s important to be able to see yourself in these stories. You are so not alone!
Thank you for the comment. Yeah, you are not alone. 🙂
After recently learning about PPPD and how many people suffer with it, I was able to "connect so many dots" and now believe I can overcome this debilitating condition. Thank you Dr. Yo for such a helpful channel.❤
I believe in you, Edmund!
this story with Prasanna is the closest story to my heart i have ever seen. Sooo authentic and normal. No ezotheric or religion bullsh*ts. Very practical advices for everyone.
I am so glad this resonated with you, Pavel!
Thank you Pavel. I'm grateful to Dr Yonit Arthur to give me the platform to share. I hope it helps others out there.
Hi everyone, hope you're well. Very grateful to Dr Yonit Arthur for all the content she has been posting. I'm very grateful for my recovery to full healing because now I can tell everyone you can do it too. I'm glad my story has resonated with many of you. Sometimes I look back and think to myself how did I pull through all this...? Wherever you are in your journey, I wish you the very best and I am confident you can heal too.
Prasanna, so lovely to see you here, my friend. I am so happy to hear you're doing so well!!!
Inspiring. I’m still in the healing process. In one week, I’ll be off all meds. I lost some hearing and also had tinnitus. The meds slowed my progress. Thank you for these interviews and your courage to keep going.
I have been given stemetil but gave not taken it? Do you think heal without them? I have a fear if meds x
Thankyou for your encouragement to which this PPPD will get better. Suffering there is hope to get there. ❤
I am currently on this journey and can’t wait until I have a story once I overcome this..I know I am healing!! It’s not easy and it’s not a quick fix but clearly it is POSSIBLE! I will have a story soon!!! I’ve been on this journey for 16 months now…I religiously do your somatic tracking everyday now, so grateful for that and all the success stories as well.
YES!!! I can't wait to hear about your progress! Please comment and keep us updated!
I have listened to Prasanna’s story twice now , so encouraging and I am grateful for these recovery stories and for dr.Yo .
I am so glad that Prasanna's story resonated with you, Denise!
Living alone makes it more scary and difficult . Thank you Dr to explain what is going on , it dedramatizes the state .
Beautiful story 🙏🏼
Thank you Prasanna appreciate your discription of symptoms gives one a better understanding of the symptoms you had and if I can relate to something similar you give me hope that i can heal and too only difference is you are young i will be 71 ib afew days I am so Sorry you had to go through this in the prime of your life. I have reached retirement and I'm suffering from it. I will start doing the exercises. Vestibular more often in a day. I have been doing them but not as often as you. I have been told that I will not be what I used to be. I retired only last year. Till then I was working as a nurse, but as you say there are chances. I will get better at least 80% if not 100 %. I do watch steady coach and it is my go too for motivation. Thank you once again
Hi Dr. Yonit, When you brought up the question about emigrants with these issues, you touched my heart for understanding from that perspective. As an emigrant, I can see and feel that it affects a lot emotionally. I came to Ireland 20 years ago as a student, leaving family and friends, culture and many other bondings, and Lately I feel that it is also part of dizziness. I recently went to my home country for a break and stayed there for two months and I was almost recovered from it. As soon as I am back to Ireland, this dizziness started coming back.
Ireland does not get much sunlight, which I think might be one of the reasons for my stress. Part of my brain always feels something is missing in my life though I have a beautiful family here. Every day there is some emptiness feeling in my life, which I might be repressing these feelings. When I went to home country, I felt so good. Though I had dizziness, it was not that bad. I managed to go out without any fear. But as soon as I am back to Ireland, all symptoms are back again. I appreciate if you could provide any inputs.
I wish Prasanna get well soon fully.
Yes, BIG yes. I recently traveled abroad and was reminded how much extra stress there is when you are in a culture other than your home culture- even when things are fun/enjoyable. There is no simple answer to this. To me, it seems like the first step is probably to recognize in what situations you feel like you're under extra pressure. For me (and I can't tell you if this is true for you), I don't like inconveniencing other people and I don't like seeming ignorant. Both are much harder when I'm in an unfamiliar culture because I feel like I'm always a little behind on the rules. This leads to constant background tension. For me, letting go of some of this tension required me to first notice when I was putting it on myself, and then reminding myself that I was lovable and a good person regardless. In a nutshell, having a strong mindfulness and self-compassion practice is a must for immigrants.
Congratulations on your progress Prasanna. I've been there and I feel so much better now - largely thanks to The Steady Coach. I realized the other day there was a time I would have avoided walking over a bridge because I felt like I was walking on the moon. Also avoided shopping and socializing. We are stronger than we think.
HI MOREEN!!!! Thrilled to see you here!
We are stronger than we think. Thank you for your wishes!
ALL of the interviews are incredibly exxxxxcellent❣️This one REALLY spoke to me. Especially the statement you made, “the medicine for PPPD is connection… to self and others”. I have been finding this to be absolutely True for myself. I can’t possibly thank you enough for what you are doing for all of us. Nothing short of life changing for SO many people. ♥️♥️♥️
Oh, Jill, thank you so much for these kind words! I am so glad that Prasanna's story resonated with you!
Dr Yonit Arthur is amazing. I learned a lot and I am truly grateful. Wishing you nothing but the best.
Dr. Yonit, thank you again for another inspiring story. You are an incredible human
What a kind kind man… his voice was so soothing.. I’m so happy for him.. dr thank you again for a wonderful uplifting interview
You’re so welcome Jackie!!
Thank you Jackie for your kind words. I enjoyed the interview with Dr Yonit Arthur.
Dr. Yonit thank you this was another great story full of inspiration for all of us living with and healing with this dizziness! You are amazing and you are our dizzy guru!!
Thank you, Rita!
Thank you for this. It is so inspiring 😊
You're very welcome, Lisa!
Thank you for watching. 🙂
Thank you, Dr. Yo, for these great videos! You are a saint ❤
Aww, you're very welcome, Nancy! I feel so fortunate to continue to share this information.
Thank you for watching. 🙂
Another great interview Dr Yonit.
Can relate to all of it.
I am so glad that you resonated with this video, Jill!
Thank you Jill. Hope you recover soon.
Another great interview to give us hope.. Thank you Yonit...❤
So glad you enjoyed it!! MORE COMING!
Thank you for your kind words Janice.
Thanks so much Prassana and Dr. Yonit. This helps me so much. A lot of the things Prassana shares I can relate to and understand very well. I think it would help anybody with a condition like this to know that they are not alone. I had no idea what was wrong with me. I am beginning to understand what I have, slowly. I had no idea what was happening when it began and couldn't sleep for weeks. Now I am beginning to understand. Thank you.
You're very welcome, Nana! I am so glad that this resonated with you! You are not alone! ❤
Thank you Nana. Yes, it's important to know that you are not alone in this and there are a lot of resources out there to help you.
Thank you for another success story. Two beautifull, kind and generous souls. You put a smile on my face.
You're very welcome, Dana! I am so glad we were able to put a smile on your face!
Thank you so much for your kind words. 🙂
Fantastic!
Amazing interview, resonates so much. Im 5 month's in and he describes the journey. After i came across this channel my mindset changed , like someone turned on a switch. The other channels were giving me a not right vibe.
Ive dropped labels and i call it the sensation. I will not give it power or label myself as that is self limiting.
When this hit i just finished my first year diploma in counselling which is now on hold, but ironically the assessment was all about self assessment and self care and something deep down was triggered and it was time fir me to fix myself.
Well done to this beautiful man and thankyou for your time and energy helping us.
I am so glad to hear this and so glad that this story resonated with you! You got this!
Thank you both ✨🧚♂️
You're very welcome, Andie!
Such a great story, I'm trying to get where he is🙏🙏
You got this, Ava!
Thanks Dr.Yo for the interview I am going through this now and had tears in my eyes and was relating to everything Prassana was talking about.
Especially eating on the dining table and people couldn’t understand what is wrong with me and walking to my neighbors is so difficult for me.
As an immigrant myself we do have challenges truly.
I feel hopeful though it seems hard so thanks again!!
I’m so glad this resonated. You can do this!!
Hi there, I hope you feel better soon. Please reach out if you need help. Lots of resources out there especially from the steady coach channel.
@@PrasannaKumar-fo4jb did you take any natural supplements that helped you in your recovery,I would like to know.
Thank you so much for your reply!
@@bestme9341 No I didn’t actually. It was more just standard stuff like Vitamin C etc.
❤ lots of
love and power. Thankyou
Oh my I’m mid way through this video and im connecting to all of this in particular the sleep thing I’ve had that rush strange thing for 8 months I can’t remember the last time I slept for more than 2/3 hours sleep it’s awful. Looking forward to watching the rest of the vid and hearing your recovery. Thank you for sharing ❤
I’ve had suspected vestibular N and physio said it’s now PPPD
I'm glad that you are resonating with this interview, Charlotte!
@@TheSteadyCoach thanks steady coach for your comment back :) can I ask a question if ok. Im 8 months in suspected VN and now PPPD I’ve not really had any support with how to get better other than watching your channel so thank you. My question is I am engaging slowly in going for 5 min walks outside and doing more things in the house to get back to normal but I feel faint a lot and all med checks fine it’s defo from the dizziness but how do I move forward if I have to keep stopping and laying down due to feeling like I’m going to pass out will this eventually go and is it just my brain re wiring ? I have been doing VRT at home and today it came on not long after doing those and cooking. Just feeling alone with this and stuck on how to move forward. Would appreciate any advice thank you so much for your time ❤️
I'm so glad pppd is more known now. It took me 9 years to get this diagnosis. Still homebound and no longer able to drive. My health aniexty is so bad
Very understandable, dizziness is terrifying.
Do u feel dizziness with breathing problem
there is so much to relate with in Prasanna's video, even i keep my plate of food in my hand right under my mouth when i eat or sometimes i even just sit on the floor and have my food on the coffee table so there isn't much back and forth looking up and down while eating its tough. I also avoid interactions with people and avoid places where i know family friends can be at. one thing i have been trying to figure out with myself is what specific stressor or event may have caused all this to happen for me because i cannot pinpoint if there is an emotional trigger that set this off because i don't think that is the case for me.
Sometimes it helps to start by changing the avoidance and the thoughts associated with the avoidance and working with the nervous system through breathing!
I love this interview and to Prasanna, what a great story, what an awesome achievement coming out of your struggles and now, your Loving kindness to help others :)!!!
Kudos Pras :)! God Bless!!!
I know, right?? It’s just amazing to get to meet the people who are willing to share their stories to help others.
Thank you for the encouragement. 🙂
This is a great interview.Resonate on sooo many grounds.Suffering from TMS, Chronic pain and stress and repressed emotions,Childhood trauma,abuse and being anxious,The pain in face and zing during sleep, Thoughts of ending it all and being treated for depression, dizziness resonate so well.Having discovered Dr sarnos work and to come upon this, definitely know iam on the path to recovery.Kudos to you on putting this up and all the great work you do.This has made me realise i was a type A personality and how to turn the volume down.Still navigating, but disassociation from symptoms and mindset is sooo important.This hit the ball out of the park..God bless
Thank you so much, Prasanna was so articulate and his success shows you that YOU are on the right path as well. I fully expect to see a comment from you in the near future telling me that you're better.
@@TheSteadyCoach Really appreciate your time doc.Moreover a special mention to Dr sarnos work also cause it started from there and it has led me to all your success stories
@@downtoearth1982 you are hot.... I am drooling over you😂
But on a serious note- I am glad more and more people are learning about importance of inner work and how emotional mental and spiritual imbalance causes chronic mistery disorder
Keep doing the work
I use
Patience
Perservance
Phasing
Dedication.
To work my way in this healing journey
God bless you handsome
As an immigrant I validate that the situation for us is much more complicated making us more sensible and vulnerable to chronic illness. Thanks for the talk and best wishes to Prasanna.
100%. So much love to all the immigrants out there. I was one too.
A big hello & thanks to Dr. Yonit & community & Mr. Prasanna from a fellow Malaysian whom are in the midst of recovery as well! 🇲🇾🥳
Had my 1st vertigo episode that forced me lying down for 3 hours in Oct 2022. Dizziness & heart palpitation experienced but life as usual. 2nd 4 hours vertigo prior to derealization feeling followed by panic attack on Feb 2023.
Met 1st ENT Dr. telling me 'hardware' wise im good so 'software' wise on me. 2nd ENT Dr. did more test & concluded i MAY have imbalance left-right ear coordination & sent me to physiotherapy for VRT. During these time, many symptoms cropped up like tinnitus & extreme fatigue.
Few weeks later i had spinning vertigo like sensation & hurried myself to my 2nd ENT Dr. with racing heartbeat just for him to be unsure the reason & admitting that the 1st result that say i MAY have imbalance left-right ear coordination was already improving a.k.a. insignificant. My full medical check up has been great if not the best compare to my other peers.
I was confused. VRT helped very little. I think thats how my anxiety & panic attacks peak.
Thankfully, i found Steady Coach. As i relate to 2 other anxiety related channels afterward, i commit to myself that what i'm going through - all these vertigo, dizziness, 'swaying' vision, tinnitus, fatigue etc - the root cause is from nervous system.
Is it correct for me to put all these symptoms under the Nervous System umbrella?
So glad you found us Mr. AnneL. Since you have already been medically cleared, it sounds like all of these symptoms are neural circuit related. It sounds like you are on the right track! Keep going!
What's up, Doc? Thanks for you consistency in making these videos. My question is this: How common are bladder issues for PPPD? Does any of your patients complain about it? No relation to it? Keep it up, you're doing God's Work😊 Thanks again
Surprisingly common! Most people with PPPD have a history of other unexplained symptoms and yes, that includes pelvic pain and bladder issues.
@@TheSteadyCoach Thanks, Doc
Omg Dr Yo another Aucklander! I will do one with you too just need a month or two to get prepared hahaha, what an amazing recovery indeed! Well done Prasanna! High five ✋
YES!!! Prasanna shared that he has been in touch with the dizziness center and is sharing the resources with them so they can spread it to more people in Auckland!
@@TheSteadyCoach oh wow did he brilliant thinking yes spread the word far and wide we can heal
Prasanna: you can do it! 🎉 you will play it again! 😊
I think that families in the military also experience loss and change when they move so often. I grew up in a military family and moved many times. I have MdDS and have started Dr. Yo's program.
Absolutely 💯
Hi Dr yoni do you recommend any meds for dizziness. I was given stemetil. Had mri seen ent had blood tests. Four years now of this horrible off balance and dizziness. I have been watching all the success stories and you give me hope! Just wondered what you thought about the said medication? I haven’t taken it as I have a fear of meds. That’s another story x
Dr Yo I have been dealing with this for around 6 months like the light headed, especially the changes in Vison, lights are so bright can't go out at noons and nights. I had an MRI it came clear when I came across your channel It gave me hope that I can recover.
I have a question while doing the eye tracking exercise or vestibular exercise should we need to do without specs because I have -4 power.
I am sorry you're going through this- you're in the right place! I would use your glasses if you are used to wearing them, but there is no research on this that I am aware of!
Yup that immigration part hits home. And I do believe its a cause of this condition atleast in my case. America is a great place to be but not having immediate family to connect with is so hard on our nervous system day to day.
Absolutely. Having to navigate a new culture and the differences in expectations (not to mention financial issues and language differences) is a major source of stress. There's is also a fundamental shift in someone's identity that I think can be profoundly difficult.
Live again now.
Hi Dr Yonit, I have booked in for my first therapy session after watching this video! I am also currently suffering from 3PD. I just wondered if you have any advice on whether there are any important points for me to mention to the psychologist so they can help me as best they can, as it would be likely that they have no knowledge on what 3PD is.. I’m feeling a little overwhelmed wondering where to begin with them! Thank you :)
Wow, Emma, fantastic to hear this!! First of all, this video will help!!! th-cam.com/video/dhITq1V6x2g/w-d-xo.html - the free course is available to the therapist and I would love it if your therapist used an emotionally/experientially focused therapy instead of just talk therapy.
Hi Prasanna, Your story is very inspirational. I was diagnosed with PPPD recently. I've been suffering for years. If you don't mind me asking, how long did it take for Riaz to help you?
Hi Mary! If I remember correctly, Prasanna said that it took several months to really start feeling better. But obviously it was worth it!
Thank you. I am joining your group. I can't make the times. But, I will watch the recordings. I want to get farther up on the waitlist.
Hi steady coach i m suffering from PPPD since 2 years.can you please share a vestibular exercises about which prassana was talking about shall be very thanksful ❤
Please consider taking my free course on healing chronic dizziness. My techniques and recommendations are condensed within this course and it is completely free thesteadycoach.com/free-course
hi there, i’ve been dizzy for 12 months now that first began after an anxiety attack and stress over what i thought at the time was an issue with my heart but was actually a strained chest muscle. My issue is i have ear pain and a fluid whooshing sound in my right ear so i’m stuck between believing if my dizziness is pppd or an issue with my ear. Although all tests done on my ear, MRI X-RAY Vestibular testing have all came back normal. The ear pain and wooshung is making it difficult to accept that my dizziness is pppd which is preventing my ability to heal. Do you have any advice thank you
Hi there, pain is extremely common if not the most common co-symptom with dizziness and it can occur anywhere, including the ear. If medical testing has ruled out an issue, the whooshing and fullness or pain in your ear can be a part of neural circuit dizziness.
Does anyone have experience with binocular vision? I'm getting that checked this week
BVD is common in the general population and is usually asymptomatic. I view it as an expensive rabbit hole. But in all fairness, I may not be hearing from the people who are helped by that approach.
Dr Yo. I’ve had brain MRI and it came back clear. Never had vestibular exams, but let’s just say that if I had hypofunction in one ear, that should clear up, or any ear damage should clear up within some time right? So if the pppd came after vertigo then it is a circuit issue. Can I continue with the course now?
Yes- hypofunction would clear up or the brain would compensate for it. However, I would still want an ENT consult to make sure there is nothing else that could explain the vertigo. There is still value to some of the testing because once in a while there is a treatable, medical cause! There is no harm in doing the course especially if you meet the criteria for NCD, but I wouldn't advice you to skip the doctor.
@@TheSteadyCoach but there are only 4 things that can cause the vertigo from what I’m reading.. bppv, migraine, infection or inflammation./ labrynthitis/v neuritis, Which I don’t think I have any of those. Bppv, I’ve done all the exercises and it doesn’t fix it or spin.
I had a cold that made me sick and dizzy for 2 days and after that everything was fine. After 2 weeks, i slept and got up with desequilire and non rotatory dizziness. all these events were after 1 month of my arrival in France from Tunisia. What is the cause maybe? cold? not that I was not stressed negatively
It's hard to know the answer to this but travel or moving is stressful even if you don't feel stressed out. Your brain can activate the dizziness again when it thinks you are in danger, even if you're not afraid of what's going on around you.
i've also started observing my reactions and things that i have started doing because of the dizziness like when i am out in public where there is a lot of stimuli like in the grocery store or other places with a lot of people i squint my eyes a lot even though i can see clearly but its just something that i have automatically started doing maybe because the visual stuff is too much. is there a way we can get our balance system to stop relying and focusing heavily on the vision aspect and instead try to balance with all three of eye, ear, and touch systems?
My personal experience is that the more I tried activities like shopping, going outside with people etc. the better I got. Also Dr. Yo's videos and courses, meditation and somatic tracking. I can tell you that I am finally feeling close to "normal" after almost 3 years. Luckily I discovered The Steady Coach last year and got some vesitibular therapy which was an immense help. As well, teh emotional component and self examination which you will do on the free course were a revelatoin. You will get better, I am a testimonial! It may seem slow but I was just thinking the other day there was a time when walking over a bridge was to be avoided as I felt wobbly, like I was drunk. You can do this and we're here to support you :)
@@moreenmurray thank you for commenting, its great to see people recovering especially after how consuming this is. i have also just finished the free course and have been going through this for 3 years too but i can't seem to figure out what emotional thing i went through or if emotions are related to my case. what did you do in vestibular therapy? i also get the drunk/high feelings and they suck. when you had started doing activities again in the begining like going shopping and felt the sypmtoms or sensations in public what did you do? like was there a strategy you used in the moment there to feel better and alleviate the sensations? because i was at the grocery store yesterday and the visual stuff seemed a lot and i just wanted to run out of there and i was back in that zone of just escaping and wanting to go back home which is horrible because i have been inside for 3 years and no connections or socializing just me sitting inside all day everyday im tired of it
@@mindyli5974 I'm sorry you're going through this...I just kept telling myself it was the fear talking and that I was fine. I did excursions in increments and progressed from there. I saw a vestibular therapist here in Toronto and he had me do exercises which progressed each week. I started last July and finished in December because he saw real progress in my exercises. You should also check out Pain Free You on You Tube if you haven't already because a lot of what Dan says applies to PPPD - he has been on Yonit's channel too. Focusing on your breathing really helps. Mostly I just told myself I can do this and each time I did it felt more of a sense of achievement. I also reading Sarah Polley's book "Run Towards The Fear" and that's what a specialist she went to see in the US told her. She was unable to get out of bed or do anything for the longest time - not even to walk a block to take her children to school. The activity of doing something and getting out in the world overrode the fear.
This will settle as the brain comes out of danger mode.
@@TheSteadyCoach any meditation course you recommend?
It freaks me out listening to these stories,there symptoms are so much the same as mine,I think/thought I had tbi....but my journey was different two cerrebellum tumors,had two craniotomies radiation and immunotherapy for two yrs.....until then I was pretty good,no symptoms,but after 2 yrs immunotherapy got all these symptoms,3yrs later much better (have done loads of vor,excercises etc) but still unbalance ,sleep problems and some others...I dont feel stressed or anxious but my question is can my path lead to this problem.
If your doctors say that the damage to your cerebellum is causing your symptoms, then this is a different origin to your dizziness than people with neural circuit issues like Prasanna.
@TheSteadyCoach different origin...but in essence is still a brain rewiring prob (my pathways were broken...but not degenerating now,but still just have to get retrained)....some of your excercises help...somatic walking....visualkinetic....and now kind of letting the imbalance happen without consequence.....some of these I have stumbled upon,just by trying things and did not know why they worked....but is gratifying to see they work for other people......thanks for your response....its uplifting to see you helping so many people,that would otherwise get very little support.
I believe in neuroplasticity
i just expereienced something so weird, i was driving right now after a pretty long time and when i came to a red light i stopped and looked at the road and it seemed to be moving away from me as if my car was reversing but it wasn't because my foot was on the break but the road continued to look like it was moving and i looked away to see if it would happen again and it still did that it was very scary please is this part of pppd?
Yes, this kind of perception is actually normal. The issue is that your brain is "turning the volume up" on sensations like these.
@@TheSteadyCoach thank you for the reassurance, i was very freaked out that i stopped moving came home as soon as i could and just sat down the whole day. what can we do when this happens or when the brain amplifies the volume on sensations?

Hina, I would love to see you consider working with someone to help- not a vestibular therapist, but a psychologist. You are not mentally ill, but the symptoms (when they are not medically explained) are coming from a psychological process that can be helped by counseling. It is very difficult to work through life stress on your own when you feel this bad.
Hi doctor,are women with endometriosis more susceptible to pppd?
Hi Priya, great question. Endometriosis is a complex biopsychosocial issue but it is my belief that heavily symptomatic people are often dealing with a strong mindbody/neuroplastic pain component. Carla (success story) had very painful endo that ALSO got better when she healed her PPPD. It also seems that the physical symptoms (adhesions etc) are MUCH more common in women who've experienced trauma and extreme stress. The endo doesn't cause dizziness but people with histories of neuroplastic pain, trauma and extreme stress are far more prone to other stress illnesses (we see this with many central sensitization disorders, not just PPPD).
I notice so many people including myself suffering with dizziness. Can all the EMF'S like 5G be causing dizziness?
I do not believe so. I think we are in a crisis of stress and disconnection.
Hii doctor yonit does VM never go away completely or it is ?

I had also panic attack with dizziness 😂but now slowly recovering. But i feel Dizziness while mall and market shop.and talk with people....
How it will heal ...help me
Please consider taking the course, it's free and explains how. thesteadycoach.com/free-course
how long did it take for him to get better?
He started to get better in the first couple of months.
Could PPPD also be due to a dehiscence in the inner ear?
PPPD by definition is not due to physical illness or tissue damage like dehiscence.
@@TheSteadyCoach thank you for clarifying! Last question do you think I could heal the dizziness with nueroplasticity or would I have to get surgery to patch the hole in my ear?
Did he feel swaying when standing still?
Did he feel the ground is bouncing when walking?
