What is Vestibular Migraine? - Chapter 1: Migraine Types - Explainer Video Series

[@zoopvonbeezle6241]

Makes sense now why it's so difficult for me to grocery shop, especially when the store is very brightly lit.

[@sct4040]

Does wearing sunglasses help?

[@kagescar]

I would also say getting your eyes checked I am going to do this today hopefully it works

[@LisaFontaine-u8w]

These are debilitating and I have not found anything that helps!

[@laural1784]

Me neither😢​@@LisaFontaine-u8w

Excellent synopsis of vestibular migraine! This video could be very useful for informing family and friends and even healthcare professionals who are not yet aware of this debilitating condition.

[@Daring.Denny.]

Absolutely right, say 99% of the doctors don't know about it

[@vivicadoll249]

One thing that I found triggered my vestibular migraines to become chronic was getting glasses with progressive bifocals. I've never seen this addressed anywhere, but two months after getting those glasses I still hadn't adjusted to them, when normally it only takes me a week or so, and that's when my chronic vestibular migraine journey began. Previous to this, I typically had one migraine every 6 months, lasting at most 24 hours. I just want to put it out there in case it's also affecting someone else.

[@ShayleeOfficial]

This is what happened to me too!

[@Maggie_R]

I believe this is what caused mine, too. I had my first progressives about a month before my first experience with vertigo, with consistent issues getting used to the prescription, and now seem to be having persistent vestibular migraines.

[@Cillana]

Great comprehensive short video for me to share with friends and family to explain my vestibular migraines

[@lildraco6447]

M suffering from this

[@tomsaunders2529]

Thing is you can do all those and still end up having attacks. So many more symptoms stated in this video including different type of vertigo swaying, rocking, falling. Blurred vision.,neck pain brain fog, fully body pain, paralysis too in attacks trouble is been focusing on getting 100% better what unrealistic (symptoms since 2018. Diagnosed 2021. Just got to try live best u can with this very unpredictable illness 👎

[@rupalrbs]

Take half hour sun bath daily to come out of this situation. Try taking vitamin D supplements. It works for me.

[@ShoppingWithStyle]

​​@@rupalrbsplease don't oversimplify - you can't cure migraines with vitamin D. Yes, take viamin D - it is good for you. Bt you don't have migraines, you just had vitamin D deficiency if that worked for you.

[@ShoppingWithStyle]

Yes, realistically you should focus on improvement, but not a cure.

[@tomsaunders2529]

@@rupalrbs sounds like u was never in it... If u was u wouldnt be telling someone a vit d tablet cures it. This is a life long condition with NO cure. effects every part of my life 👍

[@chrissyp3065]

That trigger list is very accurate. Make a sleep schedule your job.

[@hippimamma]

What mostly trigger my vestibular migrain, is low iron (with anemia). It turns to chronic when my iron levels gets low. I get iron infusions 2-3 times a year. It usually helps in 3 weeks. When my iron levels are fine I can keep attacks in 1-3 times a month, those vestibular attacks go away in 1-2 hours, just taking normal pain medicatios. I have prevention medication, ketogenic diet, good sunglasses and no stress lifestyle. I sleep 7 hours a night, avoid people with parfume each. Sometimes I need cortisone for 1-3 weeks to balance my brain. It's been 8 years now. First my attacks ware 2 weeks, then up to 3 months. Nowadays it's 1 hour to 1 month.

[@isareyes6]

Very accurate description.

[@I_love_BTS_2025]

I am suffering from migraine for 12 years now and during days of attacks I experience dizziness and vertigo even while lying down still. It feels like I am feeling motion sickness although I am not traveling in a vehicle. I got these all after walking on treadmill which i had to give up ultimately as the symptoms got very severe leading to multiple migraine attacks. What could be the reason for such symptoms? Is it vestibular migraine? Or basilar migraine as my physician told me?

Still you not recover from this

Have you seen an ent clinic they need to rule out differe stuff

[@Maetaaaaaa]

If a triptan doesn’t do anything to help with the migraine /aura/ sensory issues from migraine, does that mean that it’s more related to vertigo then an actual migraine? Sorry if that sounds confusing lol I’m just confused 😂🙏🏽

[@vivicadoll249]

Not necessarily. Triptans are not effective for all people with migraine, so a triptan not getting rid of vertigo or other migraine symptoms doesn't rule out migraine as a cause. Vertigo is just a symptom of a disorder, not a disorder in itself. It can be caused by a lot of different things, which is why it's so important to find a neuro-otologist for an accurate diagnosis. I highly recommend seeing a neuro-otologist over other doctors, because they are (in my experience) the most thorough in examining possible causes and giving an accurate diagnosis. Vestibular migraine wasn't an accepted diagnosis 15 years ago, so many doctors were never taught about it. I graduated nursing school in 2015 and never learned about it either, until I was diagnosed in 2019.

Check for bbpv or binocular vision disfunctions And lastly check for allergies

[@cariiVee]

I was hospitalized, and I couldn't stand on my own or walk for weeks. My vision is not the same.

[@ngipyingkonyak123]

Hello...same here... How are you now ?

[@DaBoss86]

I'm having all these symptoms, my new ENT Wants me to try Venlafaxine ER HCL pills!!, I'm hoping they work, living like this sucks.

[@jessyh.6112]

I'm currently taking Propranolol from mine. Propranolol has worked for me for 2 years now. Wishing you all the best

[@DaBoss86]

@jessyh.6112 thanks, hopefully this works, this will be my 3rd medicine I've tried!! You do the same..tale care of yourself

[@chichi141htz]

​@@DaBoss86I took venlafaxine and it significantly improved my symptoms and lifestyle.

[@bradglawson4395]

Is a symptom forehead and temple dull pain and pressure ??

[@Ernesto-bw2nk]

Yes. That's what I stuck with after my attack. Still have those till this day. It's been 2 months since.

[@houdadihaji20]

Heyy! I suffer from the same here, wish you a quick recovery... Is there any improvement now?​@@Ernesto-bw2nk

[@eddrin]

Is it possible to have vestibular and migraine with aura?

[@Maetaaaaaa]

YES !

[@laurahardy2472]

Yes

[@wirrwarr8834]

Vertigo alone can exist as an aura. I have had vestibular migraine attacks for a long time. However, I have very complex migraines with sometimes prolonged and persistent auras. These include: vertigo, tingling in the limbs, one-sided motor weakness, blind spots, flickering scotomas, perceptions that are part of Alice in Wonderland syndrome, increased visual snow, blurred vision, aphasia. I make no claim to completeness. ;P

[@ansalsalim1275]

@Steven-wo9bm what did u do to stop it permanently, I feel this almost everyday

[@Steven-wo9bm]

@@aperturefilm oh wow. Well, i started hydrating myself and avoiding water to the ears just in case. I went to the doctor and she said both my ears were clogged and she gave me something to flush it out. I'd recommend seeing a doctor ,cause it may cause constant headaches

[@ShoppingWithStyle]

Fast scrolling on a computer screen should be avoided.

[@rupalrbs]

People who are suffering from vestibular migraine or any kind of migraine then start vitamin d supplements. Also try to avoid trigger food like chocolate, cheese, caffeine, artificial sweeteners,MSG , alcohol.,red wine. Half n hour sun bath to generate vitamin d . Its workseon me
