Why you're so tired when you're dizzy & strategies for fatigue with chronic dizziness

I understand I will go the gym and have a few active days and sometimes the next day I’m so fatigued/weak I can barely move or think properly is horrific

[@kittwilliams1974]

This all makes so much sense the way you explain it. Just wish my brain could understand that I’m okay. The fatigue is the worst symptom. I find the dizziness kind of comes and goes but the fatigue is always there. I know my stress bucket gets full and I don’t handle stress well. I got really stressed yesterday and I couldn’t get to sleep which only makes things worse. And of course, you are laying in bed stressing over that you can’t sleep knowing the next day is going to be a more symptom day because of it. Vicious cycle.

[@TheSteadyCoach]

Totally. It's really good that you see the connection between stress and symptoms, though. I know that might not seem like a "solution," but the less afraid you are of the symptoms, the less the brain will tend to turn the volume up on them.

[@paulaspagnuolo8285]

Appreciate this topic. I stopped avoiding movement quite some time ago despite feeling fatigue afterwards. Particularly after running a few errands-which might include stops at a couple of stores. Too much exposure to Visually ‘busy’ places seem to be a trigger. I’m trying to not give in to the desire to lay down when I come home but with limited success. It has improved however in that I used to feel wiped out for hours afterward and now it requires less rest time to get back to my baseline. Avoiding activities is definitely not helpful in my experience. Thanks, as always Dr. Yo for sharing your knowledge with the world.

[@TheSteadyCoach]

I hear you, Paula- I wonder if you're experiencing what I talked about here, that fatigue tends to persist during recovery as your brain adjusts back down to the "lower stress" baseline. Keep at it- I know it will continue to improve.

Heartfelt thanks for such a great video ❤ After getting shingles 2 years ago a vestibular physio said that I have a peripheral vestibular deficit and proprioception in my hips and feet which in a nutshell adds up to 24/7 dizziness when I am on my feet and active and incredible fatigue in my legs (I feel like I have heavy weights strapped to them) I can only work part time as it’s just too exhausting both physically and mentally. Your video was exactly the encouragement that I needed on a road that is sometimes very lonely.

[@TheSteadyCoach]

You are not alone and you really can get better. Peripheral vestibular deficits do not mean you're stuck with the symptoms- your brain may need a little bit of help adapting.

Omg yes, thanks you for recommending this video to me. I've been feel pretty good about my recovery aside from feeling like by brain is just not keeping up.

The auditory and visual hallucinations all make sense now too, they are always my brain interpretting danger. So now when a bug flys by my periferal vision and I see an angry dragon comeing straight at me, I can laugh about it. In a lot of ways, my experience of PPPD is like being oh hallucinogenics. Lol

[@coachjohnodea490]

I so remember when I had my initial bout of severe vertigo, kept working, working out, staying very active and trying to stay "normal," the only way I could get through the day was to take 15-30 minute naps throughout the day. I was exhausted from trying to "keep level." Now many years later and finally diagnosed with chronic PPPD I still get fatigued and take naps. Feeling fatigued as a very active person sucks.

Thank you dokter Yoni. My therapist tells me when your dizziness gets worse, and if it's only your dizziness... go further with the things you were doing at that moment. When you notice also other physical complaints, like (i called it: over stimulation from the brain). I don't know if you mean the same with fatigue our brain fog? I'm feeling that my brain and nervous system is to overwhelmed and laying down for a while is necessary. Lately i'm trying a little bit of exercising when the dizziness gets worse, not to lay down of stand still in a chair directly. Only if i'm overwhelmed. Is that the break down moment where you talking about? My English is reasonable oke, but i'm confused if what i'm doing is right? In the first half year when i got sick i thought maybe i have to go through this and not laying down. I noticed the anxiety for the dizziness makes it worse, i'm also working on that. But it confuses me when it's really the right time to lay down and when do you have to go through it and anxiety is also around the corner? I hope you read this and give me maybe some answers? Thank you for your great supportive videos. It really helps me understanding whats going on in my body. And how i can learn to recover and what to do different.

Hello Doctor.. I am recovering at a good speed and I'm happy about that. Earlier I used to feel dizzy most of the time but now it has reduced to a few times a day. But there's this thing, I can drive, dance , workout during the day but as soon as it's night I start feeling a little dizzy and uncomfortable... The same thing happens when I try to study(Studying bothers me even during daytime).. I get uncomfortable and feel heavy headed. (While studying I get uncomfortable when I look down. But I don't have BPPV as there was no nystagmus while performing the Dix Hallpike maneuver at the ENT). Will this uncomfortable / heavy headed feeling go away? Is it a part of recovery process? (I don't have anxiety issues but i do get anxious these days because it's been a few months since I got this dizziness)

[@TheSteadyCoach]

Hi Nan, yes, this heavy headed feeling is certainly part of the recovery process. You might want to check out this video on nighttime dizziness kzbin.info/www/bejne/op3OhIh-itickJY and this one on changing symptoms! kzbin.info/www/bejne/d4GyqGeDjMhgfcU the studying is likely due to the extra attention your brain is paying to your eyes right now, and what I see is that it resolves with the other symptoms.

Really great video thank you Dr Yo! Fatigue in the early days after ‘labrynthitis’ or vestibular neuritis whichever it was was SO difficult, I was always absolutely shattered. By the time teatime came I was so tired I could barely plan what to make for tea and making it and tidying up was such an effort. Thankfully I work at home in the day and would sometimes have to lie down for half an hour. I also had to bring my bedtime to at the very latest 10pm as would go to bed normally about 11/11.30 before this. I found this helped slightly if I’d had a really good night sleep. I still get the wobbly drunk like feeling if I’m very tired but for anyone still experiencing the awful fatigue, it definitely gets better, I don’t often need to rest in the day anymore if at all and although my bedtime has naturally stayed a bit earlier, I can still go to bed at 11 and be up at 7 ok. Not fighting it is definitely best, my body was telling me to rest but I felt guilty doing so because it wasn’t my norm. I know now I shouldn’t have felt guilty x

Thank you for your videos as I try to find what’s going on with my chronic dizziness. You mentioned finding an emotional explanation or at least writing off what’s associated it with danger to empty your bucket. But, how do we then stop that thing from triggering danger? One example for me is I continue getting panicked and lightheaded while driving so I’m too scared to drive in case I faint, how do I stop that danger reaction? Or when I feel slightly disassociated when driving, stop that so I feel safe again driving? I don’t know how to stop these reactions even though I know they are a trick? Does your course go into this? Thanks so much!

[@TheSteadyCoach]

Yes, I think you'll find a much more comprehensive answer than I can give here by taking the course. Ultimately, the idea is to shift your focus away from dealing with specific symptoms in specific moments, and to increase safety in your nervous system in general, and deal with the obstacles that are preventing that from happening (it's almost never just about the symptoms themselves). The course is free so the only thing you are investing is time! thesteadycoach.com/free-course

Hi Danny, welcome to my channel and I'm so glad the mindbody approach is resonating with you! Sometimes, recovery takes time. If you feel stuck, then I'd really focus on Steps 5 and 6.

If you are medically cleared, I would advise staying active and not avoiding movement. Running can be interpreted as your body as danger (it is a form of stress), so it is important to take time to wind down afterwards. But I tell people to keep moving when they can.

Is it possible that this chronic dizziness could be BVD. Because I keep asking myself what if it's all from my eyes. The symptoms of BVD are very close to the symptoms of pppd.

[@TheSteadyCoach]

Hi there. BVD occurs in about 20% of the population and almost none of them have dizziness. It could be that it makes someone more vulnerable to dizziness, but it is not the cause in my opinion. I get very suspicious when someone claims that a single factor, present asymptomatically in a large number of people, is the single cause of chronic issues (especially by providers charging thousands of dollars for treatment).

Hi, I have chronic dizziness and anxiety with panic as well, but how do we know if one is causing the other? My dizziness seemed to be originally triggered by certain yoga positions a few years ago and lasted for a year, and has returned in full for many months now, and now with panic attacks and lightheadedness for weeks. I’ve had general and social anxiety since childhood. Glad to have found your videos as I tread these waters.

Do you think that’s enough testing to accept this is neuro circuit dizziness? Or would you investigate further with mri neurologist etc ? I havnt seen a neuro but I’ve been 5-6 other doctors

[@TheSteadyCoach]

Hi Mindy, this is a bit hard to answer as my answer might change depending on the specifics of someone’s situation and clinical findings. That said, doctors are trained to find the “big bad” biomechanical problems and if there were one, they would have almost certainly found it by now. You might still want vestibular specific testing for your peace of mind, but it rarely affects my recommendations in cases like yours.

I couldn't regain proper function for a few minutes but all my heart tests and blood work was normal. I have lightheaded episodes but haven't passed out since then (3 months ago) and I have lingering dizziness. I am quite sure it was started by a buildup of stress until my body had enough. Can lightheadedness also be a part of neural circuit dizziness?

[@TheSteadyCoach]

Big yes. Some of my clients’ primary symptom is lightheadedness.

Hi! How are you?

[@jmwb4u]

How are you now

[@melissabuhlermusic4701]

@jmwb4u it has been 2 years. I still have symptoms but can manage them just fine and I am not afraid of them. I have to manage my stress level which is tough for me. I have never gone back to that severity of symptoms now that I am better educated about how the nervous system works:) hope that helps!

[@jmwb4u]

@melissabuhlermusic4701 thankyou and did you ever get the dropping with light headed feeling? Along with rocking and swaying

[@djg3906]

Hi. I've been diagnosed with PPPD. Is it normal for vision to go in and out of focus so consistently? I have astigmatism in my left eye and wear glasses which had corrected the issue. There's no reason according to my Optometrist as to why it should be doing this so often. Thanks

[@TheSteadyCoach]

This is something I definitely see happen for some people with PPPD. Your brain isn't doing a good job of managing information coming in from your eyes. I'm going to have another video out on vision in a week or so.

[@mjenks85]

I have all she speaks of and my vision fluctuations are really bad but they say I have 2020 vision. I find unnatural light has major effects on me.

[@brookesaunders4886]

This happens to me also. Dr. Yonit will you please make a video for targeted visual exercises like this. Pencil push ups. Ect. I saw a neuro visual dr in florida dr. Sonneberg and she told me i have slight vertical heterphoria and issues with my eye muscles but my vision is 2020. Its so weird. I have floaters a lot and my eyes zoom in and out on days my dizziness is especially bad almost like binoculars or something and i cant focus or target well. I purchased prism glasses but am too scared to even wear them because i dont want to wraken my otherwise healthy eyes and create dependency. Please make us crazy eye people a therapy video lol 😆

[@doltonmurray1625]

Do you think Hypothyroidism could be a culprit in this?

Pacing? Where can I find it

I know what's been bothering me for years is the bad treatment I've received from members of my family of origin even though I've not seen them in years. They refused to talk over and try to solve problems they caused me. I can't seem to let go of all of it or them. What especially bothers me is that I may have lost my only sister for good. She won't talk over things with me, actually she won't talk to me at all.

[@TheSteadyCoach]

I am sorry that you are going through this ❤

I was just diagnosed with BVD with a vertical misalignment. I think it's only off by .5 microns but it's enough that I feel exhausted ALL THE TIME. The only way I've been able to describe it to doctors is that it feels like the most intense mental exhaustion. It is a horrible feeling.

[@TheSteadyCoach]

Hi Lucy, I’m sorry to hear about your fatigue! While I am not an optometrist, I do not believe that BVD is usually the cause of people’s dizziness symptoms. BVD is present in up to 20% of the population and most people do not have symptoms. Of course I am not your doctor and defer to your provider, but I think the information on my channel will help you!

[@DiamondForevah]

Was it bvd or pppd at the end?

[@bushtukka5909]

Anyone ever had inner ear speedos " coagular? " and recovered?

You should do a podcast with Drew www.youtube.com/@TheAnxiousTruth - both of you are incredible in helping people understand what is anxiety, stress response and what it all means for our brains and our bodies 💖

[@froilancalilung5707]

Hi Dr . Y, thanks for the info. I have a question, is it normal that my dizziness is worst in the morning until early afternoon but gets more manageable and bearable in the evening

[@TheSteadyCoach]

Hi there, you might enjoy this video! I talk about this morning pattern toward the end of the video. kzbin.info/www/bejne/op3OhIh-itickJY

[@leviackermann188]

Hi doc I just subscribed your Chanel. I wanna learn more about this condition of pppd 🙈🙏 Just one question to be sure of something. Is it Common in your knowledge that people with pppd have problems in dusk? For me it’s like Everytime dusk Beginns my vision is worse or my pulling moving sansation get stronger ?🧐 I just don’t get the point. When darkness is reached it’s back to baseline but dusk make me feel worse since a year.

[@playertwo3465]

Yeah, that's weird isn't it. It's like once the sun gets to a certain point a trigger gets flipped and it gets worse

[@ranatlas]

Maybe the start of darkness is related to this? I do worse, walking, in the dark. Perhaps the dusk is a reminder that it's going to be dark relatively soon? And that's how our brains process it? 🤔 Edit: oh, sorry, I just noticed that you go back to baseline in darkness. Maybe it's just me.

[@TheSteadyCoach]

I think it's the transition that affects some people. In the dark, your brain has no choice but to use your ears and sense of touch. At dusk, it may still be attempting to rely on your eyes.

[@leviackermann188]

@@TheSteadyCoach ok I See, but when it’s nothing medical wrong with my ear anymore(I had bilitar vestibular disfunction) why is it still there the night problem ? Is it a perment demage or do you think it’s still cureable like other pppd symtomes

[@singstar56367]

I already suffer with CFS and central sensitivity but since being diagnosed with bilateral vestibular loss, 3pd & visual vertigo my fatigue has got worse. 🥹🥹 Can balance disorders affect sleep also?

[@TheSteadyCoach]

Absolutely yes they can. I am so sorry you’re dealing with all these things at the same time. ❤️
