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. If you are a frequent sufferer of dizziness or vertigo, join the group and find support.
I'm new to the group. I'm also experiencing the feeling of constant motion. I also have the noises in ears and hearing loss. My story starts from last October with my first spinning vertigo episode that lasted for four days. I was as admitted to the hospital, where they performed several tests all which were negative. I then noticed high pitched sounds in my ears then hearing loss. I havent had a spinning vertigo attack since January but I started the feeling of movement, a rocking boat sensation. I was perscribed prednisone, and physcial therapy hearing aids by my ENT. Nothing has helped. My movements has changed from the rocking boat to a side to side movement, my eyes also feel like there moving from side to side. I dont know if that mean it's getting better or worse. My ENT suggests a cochlear implant for the hearing loss and tinnitus and it may help with the motion. This has lasted for about a year now. I refuse to go on like this. I asked my doctor to refer me to Ohio State for a second opinion. My appointment is Dec 13.
