Ask Dr. Yo: should I just ignore and push through my chronic dizziness symptoms to recover?

[@catIing]

It's honestly so tempting to ignore the dizziness when it's been going on for some time and no one seems to believe you because tests show you should be fine. For me the worst of it was always the brain fog. The dizziness comes and goes (mostly comes), but the brain fog is nearly constant. In the last few weeks, however, I've started seeing a decent therapist and watching your videos, and I've noticed I have less trouble remembering things. I'm still annoyingly forgetful and spaced-out, but where before it'd take me hours to remember what I'd meant to buy or where I'd meant to go, now it often takes me only a few minutes. It's so small an improvement I'm not sure it's significant, but it's there. I recently watched a young woman's video in which she talked about her experience with PPPD and she said that for her, she didn't notice a change day after day, but eventually months later she noticed she was symptoms-free and couldn't remember the last time she hadn't been. Is that your experience too? Can improvement be so gradual it almost seems nonexistent from one week to the next? In any case, thank you so much for doing this. This last year and a half has been so lonely for me, and in large part because no one seemed to believe that I'm struggling, since there's no visible evidence of it. Finding your channel has been a relief and for the first time in a long while I feel a little less hopeless.

[@TheSteadyCoach]

I hear you! Brushing them off (ugh just go away already) makes sense when you’ve been suffering for so long. I hope one of the alternatives resonate with you. You are NOT ALONE! And yes, change is incremental and has lots of ups and downs. I discourage people from tracking progress via symptoms for that reason. A wise community member says he looks at his progress over months, not days or weeks.

Hi Dr. Yo ! I've been watching the videos for a while now. This was a great question , I was wondering about it myself I thought "What if I just try to ignore this ?". I had a question, if you can't answer it I understand but here goes. I've developed my issue soon after my son passed. After reading a lot, I feel that the grief and trauma initiated this although I was stressed before this happened. I began to trip over nothing, then it progressed quickly to feeling like walking on ice when I was on a slippery floor like tile or even concrete. I only felt safe on grass or carpet. Something that I called traction positive. I can walk ok with an assistive device even if it's a grocery shopping cart. Here's the question. If I am in an open space, I begin to get panic attacks and I lock up and freeze in place. My body wants to lower itself to keep from falling. I have to have something to hold onto like a person to get across where I am going. I can remember being at work when the very first panic attack happened, I think that might have been the very beginning. I know you can't diagnose but this panic attack thing, I can't find anything about it. I'm fine in confined spaces. I have a neuro consult pending scheduling . Just wondering if you knew about this. If you spoke about this in a video, I'm sorry. Thank you

[@TheSteadyCoach]

Rest assured that what you describe is EXACTLY what many of the people here on the channel go through. I once had a client who would have panic attacks from looking at garage doors (because of the pattern of the doors) or going into malls. If medical stuff checks out, it is usually a nervous system over-response that is the result of the kind of stress you've undergone. I am so deeply sorry for your loss. It makes 100% sense to me that your body would respond in this way.

I have another one about that, but this is truly an art form- I’ve been trying to crack the code on how to teach people how to do this, but it’s so individual. Here’s what I’ve come to so far: your goal ultimately is to learn how to communicate with your own nervous system, kind of in the way you might become attuned to a beloved child or a pet. There is no black and white answer about when to push and when not to. Your goal in recovery is to learn to attune to your own nervous system so you know when to push and how.

All of the syndromes you mentioned are often neural circuit symptoms.

I also had MRIs which are all clear. After referral to ENT and completion of a caloric test, a 90% paresis was noted.

It's fairly easy to check for crystals and the treatment is pretty straightforward if you can find someone who knows what they're doing.

[@TheSteadyCoach]

Even if a physical cause set off initial symptoms, what you need to get better is for your nervous system to learn that the triggers are not sources of danger. In other words, the oversensitivity of the nervous system is usually what leads to chronic symptoms, so yes, this is applicable.

[@nekontam4210]

Please, and what if the neurologist doesn't know and can't help (as I am told), what next. There is no vertebrae occlusion. Thanks!

Hello Dr. Yonit, I couldn’t find your workbook on Amazon, where can I find it?

[@TheSteadyCoach]

Here are the links for my workbook depending on the country you are buying it from thesteadycoach.com/2023/01/02/healing-chronic-dizziness-the-workbook/

My fear of going to gym. Can you please make a video. I get super dizzy after chest press or lats. I'm usually dizzy during the day time especially after school runs. I'm on SSRI but it's hardly helpful. I'm not anxious or get fearful thoughts in general. I'm just afraid if I'm inviting a stroke when working out.

I get dizzy spells mostly while driving and in rich visual stimuli, what i usually do is i try to put on a good podcast or an informative video in order to surf through symptoms so that im not paying much attention to them, and once the exacerbate i try to calm down through breathing. I have to drive literally 5-6 hours daily because of work. Dr.Yo is this approach right? Or is should do something else.

[@TheSteadyCoach]

That sounds like a reasonable approach. I'd also spend some time trying to work on why your nervous system is so sensitized - there are probably stress/emotional factors that are contributing.

Hey dr Yo!! i got pppd when i was 6 month pregnant it was mild and after birth it got so much worse is that normal!? also please help now that it has comen a bit down does that mean it can go hight again? and how to get over this fear ?

[@gracec83]

Take here free course !

[@SINDHUJITGANGULY]

If I have mdds like symptoms (can drive fine , hv issues standing or walking or sitting), can stopping driving temporarily retrain the brain to get back to normal ?

[@TheSteadyCoach]

Some neurologists recommend this but there is no clear evidence that it helps. On the contrary, from what I see, fear/avoidance make things worse.

[@SINDHUJITGANGULY]

@@TheSteadyCoach does mdds symptoms happen instantly after a long car ride, or boat ride ? Or can it start a few weeks after the ride ? I ask coz my symptoms started around 14 days after a trip to New York where I drove 4.5 hours driving nonstop to Niagara and also went to the maid of the mist boat ride .

[@Aminta-gr9gb]

I woke up this morning with a muffled feeling in my left ear like it’s plugged. Is this normal. I’m trying not to worry about this but it’s hard. Any advice would be very appreciated

[@TheSteadyCoach]

Ear muffling is very common with NCD. There are some medical things that can cause it of course, like fluid in the middle ear, but often it comes and goes with neural circuiy issues.

Dear Dr. Yo, to be or not to be. If we don’t ignore what should we do? I

[@TheSteadyCoach]

See the video for my recommendations! It’s timestamped so you can find them

How in Gods name do you ignore your spouse?

[@KLay0002]

Hi Dr Yo, wondering if my spontaneous MdDS is because I have a tilted pelvis, .07cm leg difference so not much difference as its under a cm. When I limp half the time depending on how my hips are that day and my body being on an angle when walking sometimes could this be y my brain isn't coping properly as its trying to compensate with balancing issues? I understand it's from a lot of stress too because of leg pain etc too.

[@TheSteadyCoach]

Unlikely to be from tilted pelvis. Many people have similar issues and do not have dizziness.
