Dizziness & Vertigo Support Group

Dizziness is the sensation of instability. Vertigo refers to dizziness with a sensation of motion. Vertigo is more likely than other types of dizziness to be associated with nausea, vomiting, or double vision, to occur even when lying down, and to feel better with the eyes closed.

Hello everyone! I have a question, do any of you have a dizziness condition that is not one of the 'normal' conditions? That you don't have meneires, BPPV, or the other main diseases. Do you have trouble with treatment because of it?

Yes, yes, yes! I have been suffering from Dizziness/vertigo for a year now. MRI - Clean, Balance test - well I failed that and my doctor said "you don't have Menieres or BPPV, but you failed the left eye and ear part". "Take Xanax for 2 weeks and it will resolve itself". Been taking Xanax the whole time (that was last August when I had the test done) and I'm still dizzy! They "think" it's coming from my neck, but aren't sure. I've tried every treatment. Eply, PT, and went to accupuncture yesterday. Nothing has helped. I've rinsed my sinuses, taken antihistimines. I'm so frustrated I could scream!

I hope you find some relief. I'm seriously about to give up. It's getting so bad that it's hard to stay at work the whole day.

((hugs to you))
