So great to hear from someone with such great knowledge.....have done a lot of excercises that really just wasted time....but with info from your vids have worked out that standing on left leg and doing right head nods (think the right half of each eye goes to the left brain), does wonders quickly for me (left cerrebellum damage,which I think has left me with left vestibular hypodisfunction)...thanks again ❤.
You’re so Welcome! ❤️😄
i have vestibular loss in both ears jumpy vision when walking along with tension headaches. enjoyed your videos going to use your exercises along with supplements you recommended. wish me luck thank you
Best of luck to you! I also have a specific playlist and video on everything you need to know for bilateral vestibular loss. If you haven’t seen that video, definitely check it out because there are more strategies for bilateral loss.
My main struggle is that non spinning dizziness that I have been having for 10 years so probably a lack of diagnosis although I am struggling just now as well with bppv, get veeery spinningly dizzy when I get up from bed and have to stay lay down with my head and cannot turn it to either side
Most common cause of chronic non vertiginous dizziness is 3 PD. Have you read a lot about that condition? It can be treated!
And always good to treat the BPPV first and then we can worry about the chronic dizziness. Always available for a free one on one call to review your case 😊.
Hello- I had (what they narrowed it down to) vestibular neuritis, 6 months ago. It was severe, as I was basically bedridden for a couple months. Couldn’t handle light, reading…or even riding in a car with my eyes open. I am doing a lot better. Walking everyday, and driving again. But I haven’t had one day without symptoms for 6 months. It’s worst when I lay down at night, and lasts until I open my eyes again. My surroundings don’t seem like they’re moving (like classic dizziness), I feel like my insides are vibrating and hopping.
So now only when you close your eyes? Have you started gaze stability exercises?
I feel quite normal now when riding in car now ..but still struggle with after motion and disorientation after driving and busy environment .
Let me make a video response to this. I can post it tomorrow morning. However, in the meantime, after you’re done driving, it can be beneficial for you to sit in the car and do a 478 breathing technique for about five cycles go ahead and let your body and your central nervous system calm down and then get out of the car. But I have a couple other tips that I’ll post tomorrow. 😄
I have been to 2 ents 2 neurologists and spine surgeon and have been told different things. It's my ear or it's my neck. I was put on acetozolimide but I don't really like taking medications. My issues are when watching TV I get a sense of moving I also feel it when I am sitting or lying down. It's an off balance swaying feeling when I lean forward or side to side. It has gotten better over the last year but lately it's been creeping back in which makes me believe it is my ear. It is driving me crazy that I can't really get a straight answer. My PT swore it wasn't my neck and we did about 6 sessions but I stopped because I hurt my back and was on so many different medications that it made me have some kind of episode where I couldn't stand. I was on to many muscle relaxers and no one could tell me what was wrong. I have been doing some of your exercises but they make me very dizzy. Is that supposed to happen? I hope you can answer my question as to if these are the right exercises for me.
Exercises are only supposed to make you dizzy for one to two minutes and only one to two points higher than when you before you started the exercise. There are so many nuances when it comes to doing exercises. In my videos, I describe the goal but it doesn’t mean your body can tolerate that goal at this time. Just do your body can but don’t increase your dizziness past two points, and it should not last for longer than one to two minutes. If so, you’re doing the exercise too fast or too long. It’s always best to get an individualized plan, it sounds like you’ve been to a vestibular therapist in the past, but that’s always preferable. And as always, I do vestibular coaching online. If you’d like to see if you’re a good candidate, we can do a free discovery call just reach out to me at treatdizzinessathome@gmail.com and if you haven’t watched my PPPD playlist, I would suggest those videos as well
This is super helpful! I’ve had suspected vestibular Neuritis since march 2023. I’ve had medical clearance in terms of mri, CT, ECG and blood tests. Thankfully all clear! I’ve got better over time but the lingering symptom I have is feeling light headed /feeling faint esp when I’m outside. My ENT didn’t seem worried about the faint feeling and said to do gaze stab exercises and discharged me. At the moment I can only do 10 mins round the block max then feel faint which makes my body panic and I struggle home. I have never fainted (touch wood) and I have had the feeling faint symptom since I became unwell. Do you have any tips for this? Thanks so much ❤
I would love to chat with you so I could help give proper guidance. I feel like I want to understand The symptom of being faint better. When I hear faint I think more orthostatic hypotension, POTS, or cardiac. Some vestibular patients do feel overwhelmed by spacious scenarios and can feel faint but I would want to better understand that ☺️ feel free to email me at treatdizzinessathome@gmail.com and we can find time to chat if you’d like.
@@treatdizzinessathome2023 hey thanks for your reply. My Blood pressure and other tests have come back clear. I think it’s defo related to the vestibular thing that was one of the first symptoms I had and it’s got less intense as time has gone on but when I’m outside it comes back esp when people or cars things just moving in general are near me. I spoke to a physio therapist who said it’s just sensations and will go in time when my brain is used to being outside again it’s just really stressful at the moment because I want to heal and help myself but feel limited. I think it’s also a bit of panic setting in too because my brain goes ohh don’t go too far incase u are dizzy. Thanks for your message back it’s so isolating having this.
@@charlotteo89 oh okay if it seems visually induced it’s probably vestibular. You can watch my gaze stability playlist and I would also watch my “what is PPPD” videos and playlist; see if that rings true at all. Practice grounding to override the visual dizziness
@@treatdizzinessathome2023 thank you for this I’m so grateful I shall check out your videos you have recommended. Yes is seems visually induced when I am in motion and the world is in motion if that makes sense. I’m ok at home only comes on if I do housework like hoovering. Thanks for taking the time to reply since being discharged and told it will go in time I just feel a bit stuck in a rut as it’s been almost a year with it but hanging in there! I am lots better than I was but still housebound by it apart from small walks ❤️
@@charlotteo89 oh it’s treatable! Don’t believe them, you’ve got this, and your probably doing better each week at a time 💪you’re welcome ☺️
I have struggled with pppd for the last 3years. Please helpppp!
Thank you ❤
I am trying to out together a video but it’s hard because the treatment is so individualized. I am always available for a free discovery call to see if I have other exercise approaches that haven’t been tried. I’m also trying to write a patient workbook for self treatment of 3 PD- it’s almost done 😃
I have been diagnosed with bilateral vestibular hypofunction after initial labyrinthitis which started in 2019. Computer screens and reading text on smartphones etc are hugely overwhelming for me. Driving is also very difficult. I have tried vrt extensively for long periods of time but i just don't seem to improve. MRI and blood tests all normal.
Hello! Sorry for what your going through! I would be happy to hop on a free discovery call to see what you have already tried and see if there is anything else I can help you with. You can schedule a free call here: calendly.com/treatdizzinessathome/15min?month=2024-02
In the meantime, I have a playlist labeled bilateral hypofunction that could be beneficial. Also, you may want to check out my PPPD Playlist. 🙂

Coming up to nearly 4 years having VN
I done so many exercises that u stated and others
I was 80% recovery until recently I developed these strange pressure feelings in my forehead and around my right ear where I developed VN
Seems to be getting worse each day
Had it now 5 months
Doctor said it was vestibular migraines
No pain whatsoever just pressure and lightening jolt feelings in my brain?
Happy to discuss more thoroughly over a free discovery call but couple questions:
1) any new or progressive hearing loss on that side?
2) I’m assuming they have done an mri?
3) could be migraine; normally it’s going to be five minutes to hours long duration with episodes of smell, sound, or light sensitivity, with increasing dizziness during that time frame
4) scm tightness of the neck can refer into the ear and up into the forehead. Check out my daily neck stretch video (especially the scm stretch) see if that helps or targets that pain area
No hearing loss
Mri all clear
If not migraine I think it’s nerve damage somewhere
I’ll try neck exercises
Thanks for your help appreciate it
@@treatdizzinessathome2023
Also get tingling and numbness feeling in my face
@@bradglawson4395 yes try the cervicogenic playlist and see if that helps. I personally have never heard of symptoms like your starting from VN years later. Let me know if the stretches help at all because then is have more advice ☺️
No full diagnosis. Four months to date. Labyrinthitis diagnosed by two doctors two others think psychological or heart. Cardiologist dismissed heart as an issue. Referred to ENT specialist and MRI scan. Unsteadiness ( not dizziness) is episodic. Was getting better with walking a lot then had another relapse recently tried some jogging on the spot which seemed to trigger episode two hours later. Then a cold virus spreading in the office seems to have made it worse.
I’m sorry for what you’re going through. Have you had a VNG yet?
And you are correct; Labyrinthitis can relapse some when /if you get ill.
@@treatdizzinessathome2023 Thank you. No VNG yet. Doctors seem to be going through a process of discounting everything else. Been to hospital twice in the early days with the symptoms pain in chest, neck and arm. They thought it was heart problems. Hence cardiologist. Every test they did was negative. Blood, ECG and constant monitoring, no Diabetes, no kidney issues. Mind you to some degree I expected that. I was walking a lot for an Everest trip. Two days before I was hit I’d just walked 17 miles and had been walking that and more on a regular basis. If I’d heart problems something tells me I’d have had trouble on the walks.
@@treatdizzinessathome2023 it was a strange development. The doctor at the hospital on my initial visit said off the cuff. Covid could be causing it. There was a virus causing dizziness at work at the time. Two people who were in their 30’s in the office complained of similar symptoms. They recovered in a few days. I’d had three Covid jabs and Covid a year ago or so. I didn’t notice any other virus symptoms other than the initial nearly passing out in the shower. Then unsteadiness started to appear. It was slight after the first attack over the first two weeks and I really didn’t think much of it. Then I had two episodes, one driving and one taking shopping out of car boot within a few days and the unsteadiness caused other symptoms similar to heart issues and panic, anxiety attacks set in.
I’d go a few days after that and have other milder attacks of anxiety and panic as balance came and went a little. Triggers seem to be movement, bright office lights and screens sometimes and being in shops. After an attack noise in shops etc seem to irritate a bit. Since October generally no panic or anxiety attacks. Think my body is basically used to imbalance doesn’t cause reaction like it did. Never got physically sick but initially nearly fainted and subsequently during attacks lose appetite. Walking definitely seems to reduce symptoms most of the time. That’s walking and focusing on objects. Anything else doesn’t seem to generally. Do do some balance exercises that seem to help a little in the morning.
@@treatdizzinessathome2023 the doctors by the way dismissed as ridiculous any mention of a virus being passed around causing it. I find that strange with the cases of similar symptoms in others at work, and the fact that a virus can kick off Labyrinthitis or Vestibular Neuritis.
Hi! I was recently diagnosed with a Cavernoma that hemorrhaged in my cervical spine, C3, C4 area. I have had sensory issues ever since. Can this cause vestibular issues and what type of exercises should I be doing for that? Thanks!
Hello! How scary I hope you are recovering well. for proper advice you should speak to your physician to do some testing, so sorry but there are many variables and should be directed to your physician ☺️
- did they do and mri or MRA of the Brain to see if any parts of the brain were affected
- you would need to ensure there are no contraindications or “rules” against working out with this condition
-have they suggested a VNG to identify damage to the vestibular system or brain
-what sensory issues exactly?
@@treatdizzinessathome2023 thank you. I've had an MRI of the brain and cervical spine. No issues in brain, but I may revisit this with the doctor. I have another MRI coming up to monitor cavernoma. No one suggested VNG, what is this and which type of doctor would perform this? An ENT diagnosed me with vestibular neuronitis, but this was before the MRI was done and cavernoma found. When I went back to him regarding treatment questions, he just said the treatment is the same...physical therapy. I have been doing PT for months now, and seeing some improvement, but soooooo slow. I have pressure in my right ear and have issues with walking and balance. I can't look up or down without feeling dizzy. I tell people it feels like my head is a very heavy bowling ball filled with water and when I move, the water is sloshing around. :/ It's going on 8 months of this daily struggle and it's taking a toll on me. :(
I had light headedness when i am moving my head doing my home doing works it is coming when i will sit silent it will gone doctors are saying that it was vestibular migraine i want for this excercises please recommend the excercises
I would familiarize yourself with this video as to the 5 most common causes of vertigo: ua-cam.com/video/DJJ9UzwGK8s/v-deo.htmlsi=Lgz3YF5A6mVVO2ac Spells that are migraine are constant dizziness anywhere from 5 minutes to 72 hours with light, sound, or smell sensitivity during these spells. lightheadedness with movement that goes away when sitting still could be inner ear weakness and hypofunction exercises can be helpful or it could be cervicogenic (I have a playlist for both)
how this Vest. N came about and how long doe sit last typically. Will it ever go comppletely?
Yes it can go away. Heres my playlist all about vestibular hypofunction.ua-cam.com/play/PLxFNCwzw2eJ2hgLfcCwhC4jUIGB4VblBH.html&si=Ectgd-POTdb-ieD-
Typical timeline is a reference 6 to 12 weeks.
Diagnosed with Ménière’s disease about 2 years after more than 20 years since my very first episode. Had several different diagnosis from: virus, vestibular neuritis, to left peripheral vestibulopathy, and finally Ménière’s. I’ve just been slowly coming out of my latest relapse and suffer from dizziness/swaying , nasty headaches and blurred vision. I’m doing daily balance exercises, walking, head/eye movement VOR. Once I start feeling better, is it necessary to keep doing excelsior’s even while not feeling severe symptoms.
What an ordeal you’ve had! Make sure to watch some of my videos on Ménière’s disease treatment, but you are correct.. once you feel better you don’t have to do gaze stability exercises any longer. The gaze stability exercises are best for stable lesions, meaning once the Ménière’s disease has finally resolved, the exercises will be more effective for you. And the exercises don’t prevent attacks, so again you don’t necessarily have to do them after you come back to your baseline.
I did spinal surgery, and since then I All time get dizziness what is the solution to stop it
The best approach is to definitely have individualized therapy with a manual physical therapist, DO, or Massage Therapist. I provably wouldn’t do any vestibular headshake exercises. I would take a peek at my cervicogenic playlist. Here’s one video to get you started ua-cam.com/video/QBkNTuPmk-E/v-deo.htmlsi=_tduMDnuBwGgsvd5
I have had dizziness and balance issues sine 2021 seen lots of drs but everything is clear i was slowly getting better now i have come down with a virus been sick over 3 weeks and my dizziness and balance is bad again pls help😢
So when you have a flare up Like this, have you called your doctor and asked for a prednisone or Medrol pack? Or an antiviral? Those can help. And then you have to start your vestibular exercises with the basics, taking your time. It’s quite common for dizziness to return with viruses. Heres my beginner vrt video :ua-cam.com/video/W_T6kDuiUKI/v-deo.htmlsi=qFxFIfNyJ0pLwBB-

All the dr gave me was antibiotics
Thankyou
@@jackier9144 welcome! Just let me know if there’s anything else I can help with 😊
@@treatdizzinessathome2023 thankyou kindly
My worst symptoms are when I lay down to go to sleep and close my eyes. I instantly feel nauseous. Best sleep I get is sitting up. What do you recommend for that? Thank
Is it only when you have eyes closed? Can you lay down in that same position and the dizziness is less or not present ?
@@treatdizzinessathome2023 it is much worse with my eyes closed. Thank you for replying
@@treatdizzinessathome2023 it is when my eyes are open as well. Thank you
@@treatdizzinessathome2023 also with eyes open. Almost instant nausea
I walk 6 miles every morning and feel good after until I bend over to take my shoes off then I have imbalance the whole day. I’m working with a PT Doing VRT and we just started the VOR portion.
@@tomahawkadventureco.overla3188 and they’re sure you don’t have BPPV even in the horizontal canal? I see bending over triggers a lot of people with crystals in the horizontal canal.
Yes I was tested for with negative results. I fell and had a concussion and have had very since.
@@tomahawkadventureco.overla3188 oooh with that info.. any possibility your compressing your neck when you bend over and causing the dizziness that way? When you bend over really focus on keeping your chin tucked down just a little bit and your head completely in line with the rest of your spine. See if the dizziness changes with that.
Do you get dizzy at all rolling in bed, both sides. Did they use goggles during Bppv testing?
I believe so as I have insomnia now too. No my PT friend did “test” and I has no nastagma or symptoms. This has happened to me mutilpke times when looking straight down.
@@tomahawkadventureco.overla3188 I’m hoping I’m picturing right, but if it’s straight down and you’re moving the neck-definitely start treatment for that and see if it helps. I can always do a coaching call with you if vrt is not working. Just email me at treatdizzinessathome@gmail.com when and if you’re ready☺️
