Why do I Get Symptoms Like Dizziness and Nausea from Riding in a Car

A common issue we hear from patients is feeling dizzy when riding in a car. In this case, we found that it was due to two main factors: 1) down-beating nystagmus, which is an abnormal eye movement where the eyes drift upwards and then quickly correct back down, and 2) vergence issues, where the eyes have difficulty coordinating to focus on near and far objects.
These neurological issues can make it challenging for the brain to process all the visual information encountered while driving, leading to symptoms like dizziness and nausea. Treatment involves using whole-body vestibular stimulation through rotation therapy to strengthen the connection between the inner ear and the cerebellum. This, combined with targeted eye movement exercises, has been effective in reducing the frequency of the abnormal eye movements and improving the patient's ability to visually process their environment while driving

This is fantastic. Thanks, Doctor Keiser. Thanks for the in-depth teaching as always. I also loved hearing what you and your patient were working on the last couple of days!

I was dx with binocular vision dysfunction. I have not been able to drive for over a year after having covid. It caused alot of brain issues and eyes problems. Also was told by my Hollistic chiropractor that my cerebellum wasn't functioning correctly. He did a nutrition response testing to find this out. I have an appointment with a neurologist in June who specializes in dysautonomia issues. I also have central nervous system damaged all from covid. I'm hoping to get some more answers soon. It's been a horrible roller coaster. Wish y'all lived closer. I'd come see you. Thanks for all your videos. I do some vestibular exercises at home. Seems to help some. Where I live there isn't alot of specialists who know how to fix issues like this. Very frustrating.

all the best for you up coming appointment.

Slightly off topic question. I have a friend who recently had a benign tumour removed from her head above her right ear. She is now having some difficulty balancing when walking on ground that is not perfectly flat. She has taken to using a walking pole to help with balance when out of the house. This has been going on for several months. Do you know how she could go about addressing this? Thanks
