Hi and thank you for your question! In my experience yes cervicogenic dizziness can be rather constant. It might go away in bed but as soon as you’re upright, it can start giving you symptoms. Really the only way you know is if you start getting treated or doing Some of the stretches and mobility and it starts to decrease in intensity. Then you would know if there’s a circle with the component. Hopefully that’s helpful and cheers to do a better 2025! Let me know if I can help in any other way, and I really appreciate your support!😄

Oh, that’s a good question! I have only had a few people that get worse when working on the Neck but if that’s the case, you might want to look at Kinesio tape to reduce any inflammation in the base of the neck, Arnica and magnesium cream, or a provider can use cupping or light guasha Stone to start to move some of the inflammation that might be causing that excitability to touch.

I really appreciate your input! I want to be evaluated by you even if I have to take a flight. I see you are VEDA approved so I have full trust in you! Today your answer feels like God send! Thank you for everything you do for people like us. 🤗

@@areebajunaid161 💕 happy I could help in some way; hopefully you can find a provider near you though 🤞

I’ve been diagnosed with either hypofunction left ear . 31 percent weaker on the left . I started vestibular testosterone like 2 weeks ago and were working on balance and cognitive VOR . I had a pass out fall last feb and symptoms of floaty sensation came on two months after and gradually got worse . So I’m hoping the person will help

You’re so welcome! It’s a miserable way to live your life and feel, and if I can give some people relief then it’s all worth it. Because in many instances, dizziness is treated or at least managed, you just have to know where to start.

BPPV can come back. It’s estimated that 30% of people can get it back within the year of developing it. I see a lot of people that every few years they get BPPV. So definitely tune into my BPPV playlist and familiarize yourself with some of the test & maneuvers. You should always go to a vestibular therapist who is trained and not just dabbles in treatment for a thorough assessment to help you rule in or rule out BPPV as the cause. It could be Neck, It could be the crystals. It could be a couple other reasons.

Thank you! That means a lot; hope your 2025 is your favorite yet 😃

I would say it depends on how long those sensations last and if it’s increasing in frequency. As we age, we get more sensitive to things that wouldn’t bother us as kids because we’re stimulating the vestibular system so often. For example, if you got on a merry-go-round today, you would be dizzy and feel like you’re moving because you don’t do that very often or the same for a swing. But if you practice And start to exposing the ear to those particular movements, your symptoms will likely go away. Feel free to send me an email at [email protected]. And that can remind me to do a video on some particular exercise exercises that might be useful. 🙂

Thank you for reply… off to work! 😊 Best Regard,

@ have a great day! If you feel it again stand with your feet shoulder with apart, close your eyes, and do five mini squats just to get your bearings and your feet underneath you again, connecting with the ground. Let me know if that works!

Thank you kindly 👍🏽 I shall try….

@ welcome !

Sure thing!

Oh no! Do you think stress of holidays or anything brought it back? It can definitely ebb and flow 😕 but juts set small goals for yourself until you can achieve walk time, drive, stores, etc

@treatdizzinessathome2023 I think it was just me laying down for 15 hours at night till the daytime. Tight neck muscles. I'm currently doing the vestibular exercises again. What helped last time was just staying upright doing the vestibular exercises mainly throwing a small ball across my eyes and walking for at least 6 hours a day plus vitamin D3 & K2.

👍

👍💕

Have you had a VnG? Have you gone to vestibular therapy and done a beginner to advanced Gaze stability program? I have a playlist on that topic if you need it!

Thank you! I hope you find some of my info useful for what your going through 🙂

60 seconds if able and just once. Up to five days a week is what I prescribe my clients.

Aw you’re so welcome! Happy new year to you as well 😃

@@JoRobinson-j4p have you ever tried these? axonoptics.com/pages/photophobia-glasses also you inspired me to do a video on green light therapy and light sensitivity because I hear you…. Light sensitivity is probably the symptom that I have most trouble helping my clients with. I actually did some digging on one of my professional vestibular groups and no one mentioned ideas on how to treat light sensitivity besides hats and wear sunglasses outside. 😳 there is a green light lamp on my Amazon shopping page that I have started to recommend to my clients with light sensitivity and so far they are saying it’s helpful. It’s completely anecdotal but let me know if you want the link.

@@darylbrown5351 a lot of time knee pain can come from lack of mobility in the ankle so these are recommended. Then as you deepen the exercise and take your hand away from the walk you can indeed turn this into a strength exercise

Welcome!

I should have stated… it Should/could go back to your baseline. But increases with an attack. As the disease progresses you’re entirely right it can stay present ass the nerves become permanently damaged.

@ when I had my first two hearing assessments done the technician asked if I was in the military because the level of damage done to my hearing as akin to persons exposed to regular explosives! Though my left ear is the affected side I have significant hearing loss on my right side. I was never in the military nor exposed to explosives or their shock waves. I learned that my hearing loss is permanent. I wear hearing aids now. I was diagnosed with Minere’s in 2021 just after my attacks began. Back then they lasted about 20 minutes but grew more intense and started lasting hours with extreme nausea accompanying them. Though I have been on a low sodium, caffeine and alcohol free diet I have an attack every six to ten days. While the vertigo doesn’t seem as intense anymore it lasts about four to five hours but the intense nausea keeps me bed bound for an additional five to seven hours. I have to sleep in an almost sitting position during and after an attack as my head feels like it isn’t attached to my body and it’s really hard to find a comfortable position. The next day I feel as if nothing happened and I look forward to my next few attack free days. Then my senses are heightened when an attack is due and I’m filled with dread once more.

Hello! I’m so glad you found me too 😃 prednisone can help speed up recovery; but overall 8-12 weeks once starting gaze stability programming. Let me know if you have more questions

@ I did already finish taking prednisone 2 weeks ago. I will continue practicing your exercises and hopefully be on the mend. Thanks again for everything and keep up the great work-so encouraging.

@ good luck with the recovery! Keep us posted

Awww that’s so kind!! Please let me know if there’s any questions I can answer

If you haven’t seen it already, check out my playlist on gaze, stability, exercise exercises, and see if you have done the advanced exercises. If you have at least for maintenance, you should do that advanced level 2 to 3 times a week if your therapist said you had a vestibular issue.

Can you start the motions in seated? I would have to chat with you to discuss how to proceed and where to start- but I’ve started people from square one plenty of times!

​@treatdizzinessathome2023 yes I could be seated

definitely discuss options with your doctor. you may even find benefit in alternatives if you cannot take anti-depressants. I have many patients who don't take them, but use my approach to treating PPPD which is going to focus on small goal setting to desensitize to stimuli that make you dizzy. and using modifications to let you feel more confident when trying to tackle those feats like weighted vest, hats, ear loops and trekking poles. I have a full playlist on PPPD, bilateral loss and I wrote a book on PPPd to help people understand my method of treatment. Let me know your thoughts and if you need any links so sorry for what your going through, focus what you have accomplished though!

@ thank you… I find it really difficult as I have other health conditions going on.. ME/CFS central sensitivity, insomnia & noise sensitivity.. The only medication that seems to take the edge off is diazepam, but it’s a drug I don’t want to be taking long term.. it’s going to be a long journey!!!

That’s great!

@@SPotThought 😄 glad it resonates with you . All the best, Amy

@@RayoneHamza it depends the cause of your vertigo. If it’s BPPV or crystals, you’re going to want to look at my BP PV playlist. If you’ve been diagnosed with a vestibular hypo function, which means you had some virus or trauma to the inner ear nerve that causes your vertigo then check out this exercise and my gaze stability playlist. It all depends on the diagnosis🙂

@ Thank you, I’ll definitely take a look at the playlist to treat my vertigo

Hi!! In lamens terms it means you likely need gaze stability exercises because the inner ear (vestibular nerve) cannot produce a quick enough eye movement to keep the image clear or still. Does that help?

Have you seen my playlist on PPPD? I have a lot of great strategies exercises mindset about my approached treatment with PPPD. I also have a book on Amazon that’s more of a workbook that takes you through my treatment strategy. It’s called the McMillin method. I’ve had about a decade of experience working with PPPD clients using the strategy.

@@JoannaTremlett glad you’re doing better.

@@HA-uf9ir happy holidays to you too! 💕

@@mslove1539 now it takes about 6-8 weeks of vestibular therapy to feel pretty close to normal with that diagnosis. Did they give you a prednisone/steroid taper to help facilitate a quicker recovery? Also, here is one of the best things that I have written includes video links to all the exercises and keep it in a nice organized fashion. Or you can follow my videos, this just happens to be very organized stan.store/TreatDizzinessathome/p/get-my-comprehensive-vestibul-recovery-program

@@meesie1 yes it does. 😕Also, did you know people without vestibular disorders can get dizziness of 1-2/10 scale doing an exercise ; BUT it will go away in about 2-5 seconds

@@spiderman8632 do you know what your original cause of the oscillopsia was? Was it central, meaning of the brain, or is it from an inner ear/vestibular issue? Either way exercises wouldn’t hurt you, but I can’t promise it could take all your symptoms away either. However, if it can’t hurt, I think it’s worth a try! Normally, I recommend a good six months of proper exercise exercises to show best effects.

@@treatdizzinessathome2023 I have something on my brain called cavernoma buy ... it might be that or not... I have overthinking / jugement mind too ...

I woke up one day literally with oscillopsia! As far I have been trying so far... there is no pills for it

@@treatdizzinessathome2023 my sudenaly stroke 10+ years says (my doctors have had sayed....)

@ have they tried baclofen?

@@batmanwell69 hmm… I think essentially you’re describing the same thing, it could just be a different amplitude or intensity so you experience your oscillopsia are different than someone else. Have you been diagnosed with an nystagmus at all?

Welcome! Hope you are well!

That’s what I was inclined to say too. Yes they can but migraines are only ruled in after other disorders are ruled out. And if you haven’t gotten an MRI that that’s what they would use to rule in migraines with all your other symptoms.

@ thank you for your fast replies. I have an appointment with my ENT Friday and he mentioned these migraines a few months ago when I seen him but I also had high BP at the time so he treated that first so I am going to try to bring this back up at my appointment Friday and see if we can look more into that.

@ good luck with everything!! I do have a migraine tracker and e book if interested. It truly is good info; but totally okay if not. Discuss popular med options too stan.store/TreatDizzinessathome/p/get-my-migraine-management-guide

@@LyingSilver so sorry for what you’re going through! Yes, BPPV last maybe 60 seconds. But if you lay still, the symptoms will go away until you move again. If you’re having dizzy spells hours long hopefully you’ve been to a neurologist or neuro otologist to start investigating and seeing what could be causing your dizziness. I do have this video on the five most common causes of dizziness, which will include common symptoms and presentations. Hopefully this will help you decipher the possibilities. kzbin.info/www/bejne/enutaoiwrKx-btUsi=kwkSyuH_D8cmoY81

@@jillradovanovic3460 if you’re still feeling that it’s sensory overload I would suggest using modifications. For example, using AirPods or ear loops to decrease auditory stimulation, a hat to block fluorescent light and possibly even sunglasses. Decreasing the amount of sensory information that your brain has to process can overtime allow you to feel more comfortable in the store and then you can wean from those sensory modifications. Let me know if that makes sense. 🙂

Yes it does make sense. I will give that a go. Right nowbwith everyone shopping and in grocery stores is a bit overwhelming so sometimes l use a trolley cart.​@@treatdizzinessathome2023

I think you could be doing too much for your body. Can you do one exercise at a time? And wait 30-60 minutes before the next? Thank you so much for your comment 🙂

@ thank you for your answer! Yeah I just do 10 reps and then rest! But the thing I don’t understand is why more dizziness I get this immense fatigue when moving my neck and head or when I do some eye exercise! Is this normal? Because usually I read people get dizzy and not fatigued

@ yeah I definitely have but it’s after 20 to 30 minutes of exercise not just one exercise. My analogy is it’s kind of like flying a plane on one engine, if you have one functioning vestibular system, you can still have balance. You just don’t go very far- you don’t tolerate a lot. The other hypothesis is in the neck. You do have an autonomic nervous system nerves/ganglia in the upper cervical spine . That can control some of your responses like dizziness, nausea her palpitations get clamminess. It kind of tells us that something is wrong, and with that response, you can get an adrenaline rush per se, and that can make you feel tired. That’s me completely hypothesizing about the fighter flight response. Everybody’s response is going to be different. It just seems like just tolerating one exercise and then needing to nap or having extreme fatigue is quite the reaction. Functional medicine or vagal nerve work, including diaphragmatic breathing might be your best route of exercise at this point and then work on very functional tasks like getting back to a store or tolerating reading or action television, etc. Did your Physio have a thought for you?

@ thank you very much for your answer! It just makes me wonder why I do get this mental fatigue when I move my neck and head.. I have 2 physio, one of them said that’s unusual but the other one told me that the reason could be the brain struggling to interpret the signals from my vestibular system.. she told me to keep doing the exercises and like you said to add some deep breathing exercises.. before vrt I was bedridden, now I can do more things but the main problem is this mental fatigue that keeps stopping me.. I’m pacing my activities.. do you think some massages with an osteopath could help this neck and head issue? Thank you again

@ a lot of my patients develop cervicogenic vertigo with their dizziness. So definitely give a massage a try if you have not already. I personally focus a lot on the suboccipital area when working with my patients.

@@HA-uf9ir thank you for your kind words and I’m sorry for what you had to go through. If you are apprehensive about the cruise, you can ask your doctor about the pros and cons of scolpomine patch testing 🙂

@@MrLemonbaby you’re very welcome!

You’re very welcome!

240 bpm or you can do 120 but make sure you get back to the same side by the time the next beep comes. Hopefully that makes sense! Coordination wise. I like to move my head with every beat so I pick 240. But it’s the same tempo- so much controversy with the bpm and how people describe it. The main thing is move as quickly as possible with keeping the clear or just on the edge of blurring ☺️
