Chronic dizziness is treatable & curable: interview with Dr. Howard Schubiner, MD

[@cindybrown1356]

In my opinion, you and Dr. Schubiner are angels here on earth. His work amazes me, and listening to him so wisely explain about our symptoms, the connection to our brain/sub conscious brings me to tears. I had surgery in July to correct hyper parathyroidism… One of my most prominent symptoms was lightheadedness/dizziness. It’s only been in the past three months, that I have discovered Dr. Sarno’s work, along with Dan, at pain free you… And of course yourself, Dr. Y. Now I have the reassurance, and the knowledge to carry me forward. I no longer have to sit on my bed propped up all day with my eyes closed most of the time. That is long gone! Now I am working on these lightheaded spells… I can’t thank you enough for taking the time to post these amazing videos. You are a godsend!

[@TheSteadyCoach]

Cindy, I hope everyone sees your comment because it will give so many people hope! It is completely my privilege to be able to interview Dr. Schubiner- I know it will mean the world to people dealing with dizziness to hear from him that in all his years of experience, he has seen many people recover from it!

Thank you Dr. Yonit for doing this interview with the amazing Dr. Shubiner. I haven’t seen much material up until now that dizziness is nueroplastic so this is very helpful for my brain’s belief in it. I appreciate you also asking him how we can take steps right now. I feel like I’ve done a lot of emotional work over the years but this reminds me of the various emotions to express that I may not have done much with and to try speaking them out loud then releasing them and living differently after that. I tend to journal mostly but there are multiple ways for self expression. Thank you for your advocacy for patience and true healing!

[@ariannesmakman5639]

Thanks so much for again a nice video. For me it for sure started because of stress. The stress caused burnout symptoms and later bppv. After BPPV i developed the PPPD. The stress that caused burnout stuff is long gone... My life is quiet and i really do almost everything in life. Horse riding/ driving and more. BUT.. i still feel pppd symptoms all day long. Some days its more my eyes, some days its more just out of balance etc. I do not have anything that worries me other than the symptoms from pppd that i feel all the time. I really try to do what you say and also this doctor..keep going with my life, try to not be scared and have trust...but...because it takes so much time...i keep falling back in feeling scared that i just wont be able to resolve it...🙈The most i worry is when i speak or am with more people around me...i feel so out of balance than. And than shaky....is that weird? It worries me that i feel like that...🥰

[@TheSteadyCoach]

Yes, recognizing that stress is a very important part! It sounds like the fear is still strong and there are times when you avoid things because they're scary (this is totally understandable), That is probably a part of why the symptoms are still going. It does take time and I wish it did not. I know it's awful and you're suffering. Sometimes I find that even when the initial stress is gone, there are still some things that are "sticky" in life that are reminding people of difficult times from the past. This can also make the fear worse- anxiety is often a response to emotions that are uncomfortable.

[@sammiller2617]

Superb interview. Thank you Yonit for allowing Dr Schubiner to so clearly articulate the mechanisms of NCD within the TMS/mind body profile. Very helpful.

It’s so important for people to hear their symptoms are indeed part of this same issue!

Vitamin & mineral deficiencies can also be a cause of dizziness and other symptoms. My iron deficiency has caused this for me. Emotions definitely play a part too. Great discussion, thank you!!

[@darinwood2183]

A few years ago, I would get these occasional dizzy spells. Over time they got worse. Finally, one Sunday evening I had one that was so bad I had my wife take me to the hospital. Of course, they could find nothing wrong 😊and released me; suggesting I follow up with my personal physician, which I did. He had me get a couple tests, ct scan, fmri. When I went for my follow up, he said nothing was wrong with me. To his credit he didn’t suggest more tests. He just said I was okay. I haven’t had a dizziness episode since then. It is sooo clear to me now that it was TMS, or physical anxiety or mind/body or whatever you would like to call it.

[@patricewood5012]

Hi Sr. YO, I recently stumbled upon your channel and have listened to a few of your videos. It has been so helpful for me emotionally to hear this information and the ice cream on the cake is listening to your intervew with Dr. Schubner. As you both stated, I have practitioners, both Neurologist and ENT, who have suggested CBT, SSRI, and VRT. I have had VRT, which helped but only for a tine and has no interest i. an SSRI that will only bandaid the problem at best or cause worse side effects, no thank you! I have Vestibular Migraine so my symptoms are largely dizziness and other things versus headaches(sometimes). I also have RA. The last 2 1/2 years have been spent attending a cycle of doctor's appointments and being unsble to have much of a social life or ho to the gym becsuse of the oftentimes debilitating symptoms. Thank you and Dr. Schubner so much. This gives me hope. However, where do I begin to find a practice like this. I live in Philadelphia, PA.

He did say that if there is some sort of damage in the inner ear would lead to dizziness. So if you do have that it’s not mind/body??

As we discussed a few minutes later, damage to the inner ear heals or the brain adapts to it. When this does not happen, inner ear damage does not explain the symptoms.

Everything i think! Neruo, ent, er, opthalmologist, pcp… etc etc all tests over past 5-7 yrs i think. Is this covering everything to say somatic dizziness? Anything im possibly missing? Doubtful lol but i need to let the checking go and check fully so my brain lets go of that part!

It sounds like you have been thoroughly checked. If doctors cannot find anything physically causing the dizziness, then it is neural circuit dizziness which can be healed.

@@TheSteadyCoach thank you and yes most are not sure or say vestibular migraines or anxiety. I think it started with anxiety and is triggered by neck and jaw issues but the fear and circles trying to figure it out for years on end has me in a more chronic loop.

[@TheSteadyCoach]

Hi there, I am so sorry you’ve been suffering for so long! occipital neuralgia is another one of those symptom-based or primary diagnoses that Dr. Schubiner refers to in this video. It doesn’t necessarily mean there is tissue damage that explains the symptoms.

[@bobroston9474]

Doctor, does your book go into examples of how you implement your expert knowledge to help people cure their constant dizziness. I'm hoping that you can describe what you observed before starting and then observed after you started along with what yoiu did (or had someone else do for you) to get them well. If you published a lot of those episodes with a successful finish, you would sell more books and increase the knowledge of those who try to implement what you have essentially taught them to do. Thanks for your help and considering my suggestion to help others learn from your knowledge.

I'm very into fitness, I train 6 days a week and I'd like to start doing BJJ on top of that. Once or twice a week. Since BJJ has a lot to do with grappling and choking do you think this is a bad idea? Of course, I'd go learn it from professional martial artists in a safe environment.

Hans, this is great! Do not be afraid of physical activity- you are resilient and strong. Exposure to stress in a controlled way like in martial arts will make you MORE resilient to stress.

I would like to ask him if taking a Benzodiazepine would help or hurt the creation of the new neural pathways to heal from PPPD. These medicines relax you (can take away the fear of the dizziness) but I’ve also heard they are not good for neuroplasticity.

How do you know if your dizziness is primary or not?

[@TheSteadyCoach]

When there is no medical reason for the symptoms to be there- aka tissue damage is not there OR there was tissue damage but the brain has not adapted.

[@TheSteadyCoach]

Also symptom based diagnoses like post Covid syndrome or PPPD are primary diagnosis, aka the symptoms themselves are the diagnosis, this means they are mindbody issues.

Can you or the doctor recommend a good vestibular rehab therapist in the San Diego area, please. I have had Menierre's and VM vertigo for 33 years off and on. Now long term Covid MECFS so I need more support. Also covered in first time psoriasis. A lot on my plate but the dizziness is the most difficult at the moment. Excellent video. Actually all of them are. So so helpful. But I can honestly say that for Menierre's sufferers, sometimes the brain doesn't seem to compensate. The deafness, tinnitus, pressure, and vertigo are deeply disabling. Pushing through for decades has taken its toll. I would love it if someone could tell me, "You will never be dizzy again." Would be a release from this prison.

Also, I go to PRN physical therapy, which is covered by my insurance, and they have some excellent therapist that know about VOR, etc. There’s also a place in Missionvalley called Occulus which is for dizziness. And there’s also the dizzy doctor. Just look him up under the busy doctor. I haven’t done the last 2 things listed, but this is all in San Diego.

This while removing what I was compensating the vertigo . Awaiting a vertigi check for 7mos while migraines coming morefrequently. One happened and in June and i say it broke my brain.

Thank you for this very informative interview Dr. Yo. I’m aware that everyone has been warned to not discuss Covid vaccine injury but my question is if this is the cause of symptoms, can these people be healed as well.

[@TheSteadyCoach]

If there is actual tissue damage from any vaccine, then it is not really a mindbody issue. However, in most cases in which people report issues after vaccines, there is no evidence of tissue damage, and in those cases, they can be treated as mindbody issues. Anecdotally- I've worked with many whose symptoms came on after illness or vaccine. None had actual tissue damage, and all got better with mindbody methods.

Thank you both so much! This was a very insightful and helpful interview. I’m getting better 😃

Amazing to hear, Karoline!!! You’ve got this!

I have been dealing with dizziness for the past 3 years. I was taking medication for anxiety and was dizzy while taking it. I quit 1year ago and got tinnitus in my right ear 4 days after I stopped taking the medication. I have had MRI'S, CT scans with and without contrast from neurologist, seen ENT and had VNG test and they say it's not my ears and they says everything is fine. I have pain in my neck and shoulders and I'm tense all the time from worrying about this. I have good day's and not so good days. The lights inside stores make the dizziness worse sometimes but I can be outside and it's fine. Is it me causing the dizziness for thinking about it all the time? I try not to but it's there. There have been times when it's not there for a few days but then it's back. Is there still hope to get rid of the dizziness? Is this all just mental?

I think this video will answer your question! kzbin.info/www/bejne/aXSsc2tqnNN9a7M

Same with me. Diagnosed with PPPD and Tinnitus in my left ear almost 3 years.....

What an excellent informative and calming video. Thank you both so much ❤

This also sounds like anxiety disorder where you have all kinds of symptoms such as dizziness or vertigo and the fear of those sensations causes a cascade of others and induce more fear and the believe something is structurally wrong.

[@TheSteadyCoach]

Very true, there is a strong overlap between them. One reason I don't call it an anxiety disorder is that many people who have physical symptoms don't have classic symptoms of anxiety and/or don't classify themselves as anxious.

[@Truerealism747]

What symptoms are you dealing with pain for me yes seams this is the same

Wow!! What a wonderful man! I just bought his book. Thank you for interviewing him!

[@sharonlujan9497]

god is really making a better person through all this- and I am lucky to get a roof over my head for a while since I am not married to any one right now! I appreciate you doctors "sittiing down to talk with me soo much.

[@sharonlujan9497]

you really remind me of him, cause he was a professional an very smart...

[@suzannemartin6817]

I have used the ‘Journal Speak’ program she emphasizes the need to use feeling words when expressing feelings- meaning “I feel unheard”, “I feel alone”, rather than “ I feel I like I’m alone”. Otherwise you are doing more of a narrative than expressing your feelings. Googling ‘feeling word list’ can help. It’s hard but much more helpful.

[@TheSteadyCoach]

Great tip!!

[@dorothyserkies9916]

I challenged my brain and told my brain to bring it on and boy did it I was so dizzy for 2 days omigosh so it really worked but it's very very scary so now I'm going to try telling my brain to stop it 0:56

[@TheSteadyCoach]

I’m sorry you had that experience, Dorothy.

[@tdunc695]

I was diagnosed with inner ear perpipheral damage, and pppd. What do you do if you have mild damage and pppd? How to cure this if you have mild structural damage? Is this only to help people with no damage ? 😢

im a domestic violence survivor an I can see my abuser caused this fear that has never left I guess it is lodged in my nuero circuitry, thank you for showing me this, I will keep you posted.

[@TheSteadyCoach]

Hi Sharon, you are in good company in this channel. What I have found is that trauma survivors are some of the strongest and most resilient people. You can do this.

[@sharonlujan9497]

who wouldnt be dizzy right now.

[@NizJazzBTC]

How does one check for structural damage related to dizziness?

[@TheSteadyCoach]

Workup with ENT and/or neurologist and vestibular testing. Sometimes includes imaging and various lab tests, hearing tests and specific tests to check the function of the eyes and inner ear.

[@sharonlujan9497]

its lodged in my hipjoints an havent been able to stand to my feet since the start of covid

I'm so sorry this has happened to you.

[@kimberlypiper6900]

I have a maningioma tumor that my brain stem goes around. It causes me vestibular issues, I have had stambismus surgery on both of my eyes and it corrected my vision but I still have dizziness and am in a wheelchair bcs when I try to walk I'm a fall risk . My tumor is inoperable and has been arrested with radiation, my guestion can this be helped with these exercises or is this my new normal?

[@TheSteadyCoach]

Hi Kimberly, it’s hard to answer that- all conditions are biopsychosocial but some have more of a biological contribution than others. This would be a good question to ask your doctor: “do you think my dizziness symptoms are fully explained by my tumor?” And “would vestibular rehabilitation improve my symptoms and/or functioning?”

[@kimberlypiper6900]

[@robinelliott5561]

Is Fear an emotion that can cause these PPD symptoms

[@TheSteadyCoach]

Yes, but not just fear of the symptoms. It can also be fear from long ago, from difficult past experiences, and it's usually not just fear but also shame and other painful emotions.

[@IJvillalba93]

How do you apply this to depression

[@TheSteadyCoach]

Depression is a brain strategy too. Dr Schubiner actually has a book outlining this- Unlearn Your Anxiety and Depression

[@IJvillalba93]

@@TheSteadyCoach I know I have the book. Do I ignore it/ not give into crying? I’m not like this always and don’t know if it came back strong because I’m ignoring the anxiety part

Yes, diagnostic labels for various symptoms come and go. 20 years ago, these symptom complexes had different names.

[@iFriendofYours]

@@TheSteadyCoach So are you saying the symptom complex are the same but the nomenclature changed?

[@suzannethomson5621]

Thank you for time and this really interesting and informative interview! But how can you recover from a physically damaged inner ear such as I have from Labyrinthitis which has now become and diagnosed as Vestibular Migraine. I contracted Labyrinthitis I believe after I lost my Mum and brother on the same day two years apart. I also had a really difficult childhood and lots of trauma in my life which I do believe has cause me to become an anxious person getting worse with post menopause.
