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.
Barometric pressure changes can trigger dizziness for me too.
When a cold front or a storm comes in, I am likely to feel bad.
That is so terrible that the ENT was dismissive that that.
My occupational therapist says she always has more patients that feel bad when the weather changes. Also, it is well documented that barometric pressure changes trigger migraines. That would apply to anyone with MAV. And it seems like the weather could trigger other disorders as well.

What bothers me the most is the response Damon's husband got from the ENT with respect to the weather change and dizziness. Sometimes these Drs make me so angry with their responses. I am beginning to thing some of them dont have a clue.
I am lucky to have a fabulous OT in my neurotologist's office.
I saw her today and was super dizzy from the crazy rain and cold front.
She said that everyone she has seen today is extra dizzy.
She said we all get dizzy when it rains.
It was so good to have that affirmation.
I'm glad to know that I'm not alone.
I have the same issue with weather change, the weather here for the last month goes from sunny to cloudy to rain, I dont even have to look outside to know that the weather pressure has changed, I have been suffering for the last 10 days with the dizzyness, ear pressure, and seconds of vertigo, praying I don't go into full time vertigo again.
Helps to know that I am not alone doctors make you feel like your crazy.
