The MOST Overlooked Cause of Vertigo No One is Talking About

[@herquietcorner]

I have been diagnosed with Miniere’s Disease since the last 7 years, which as you may know, doesn’t have any test as such to identify it, and is a diagnosis by exclusion of everything else. I have the symptoms of partial hearing loss, tinnitus and severe vertigo. Doctors told me it’s Miniere’s and I practically lost all hope as there’s no cure. However, minutes before each vertigo episode (which can last hours), I experience a strong pressure on the back of my neck, and upper spine. I did test for cervical spondylitis but was negative. Your video makes so much sense. I am at a desk job in front of the computer for 7-8 hours, in addition to personal mobile use, almost always hunching. Thank you for this insightful video. Will try to make the necessary changes!

Had three episodes of vertigo first timer, second episode was severe w vomiting. Hopefully middle ear infection and wanting to avoid the meneirs diagnosis.

I have had meneries disease since I was 14, now almost 68. I got a lot of swimmers ear infections as a kid. Right ear is down to 52%, left ear is at 80%. I take melcizine everyday. Listen to your body/head, it will give you warning signs that you might get dizzy, or you just feel off. On a few occasions I have woken up dizzy. Nausea, vomiting, severe headache. Can’t handle bright light, loud noises. Sleep is the only thing that helps get rid of the headache, like hours! When I was young ( my teens) I could get dizzy in an instant and end up on my butt. I noticed after I had kids, the symptoms lessened, but I still can’t have a spell. If I feel off in any way, I’m cautious! I was also told it can be hereditary. My aunt had it. Hope my comment can help someone else. About 20 years ago I went to an ear specialist, he didn’t have a clue. I think he learned more from me than he did in school, never went back. I had no confidence in him. Best of luck to anyone who has this.

Have dealt with this for years,finally decided to go to a chiropractor and seeing some improvement in the last few months.

[@bonniegierach5027]

You are lucky, my mom sent me to one when I was 16 for meneries. The guy was a pervert. Had me take my shirt and bra off, put a gown on and while he was “adjusting me” felt me up! I went home and told my mom that I wouldn’t go back.

I have had to sleep on my left side for 10 years. If I try to sleep on my right side I get immediate vertigo. The VA worked on me for 3 months and could never stop the vertigo. I threw up many times during those 3 months during treatment.

I'm sorry to hear all this! You may want to check out my other KZbin video about dizziness lying down or rolling over. It's short. Here you go: m.kzbin.info/www/bejne/hn29dWaYn9Rjh7c

MRI carried out with the neck flexed is more likely to show impingement. I have cervical spondylosis and experience vertigo and feeling faint when my neck is flexed/arched backwards.

I hope you have found good cervical care! Best wishes

I had vertigo that landed me in the ER and ER observation for 3 days. I had the Covid shots two weeks prior. Never had vertigo before in my life and no trauma to my neck.

[@KimBellDPT]

I'm sorry to hear this! I wrote an extensive blog on COVID related dizziness and I'll make the content into a KZbin video soon. In the meantime, you can find the blog here: www.betterbalanceinlife.com/covid-related-dizziness/

[@bonniegierach5027]

I’ve never had the jab or Covid. And still have Meneries disease.

[@lucid_5685]

I have mdds. I feel vertigo every single second of my life since 2019...

[@KimBellDPT]

I'm sorry to hear this! Some of my patients with MdDS have found temporary relief by rocking in a rocking chair. You can also learn about the latest research in treatments available here: mddsfoundation.org/research/

Querying why some doctors are using different 'normal' blood pressure readings than they used to use decades ago - ie 120 over 80 was normal for many years, now some doctors are saying a lower reading is normal. This means when they come across a person with 120 over 80, they're saying they have a rise in blood pressure & prescribe BP drugs - just to satisfy the big pharma push for us all to be on drugs. This can cause episodes of dizziness because it lowers the BP unnaturally. This dizziness can result in falls, where bone injury results & hospitalisation is required & if a hip is broken, death may result - a typical elder death.
