I have vertigo too, for many years now, attacks come on and off. I used to have sinusitis too, which probably triggered it. I've read a lot about causes and what triggers these attacks. For me, it was stress, black coffee, lack of adequate drinking water, too much time working in front of a computer. I'd like to share about what is helping me deal with my vertigo attacks: exercises that help, like lying on a bed, and turning your head to the left while your eyes look to the right and vice versa. Avoid getting up suddenly from the bed, after you wake up. Also, make sure you sleep with your head elevated with pillows, but never on a flat bed or surface. Drinking Ginger tea, having Apple cider vinegar with honey in warm water 3 times a week, taking warm showers, avoid having too much coffee, make sure you have the correct posture while sitting before a computer, stay hydrated, have your eyes checked if you have vision problems, and best of all, take time out to relax, go on long walks, bask in warm sunshine, listen to music, indulge in your favorite hobby, stay positive at all times...Unless it's really required, visit your doctor for medication or treatment. Hope these tips help someone atleast 😊 🙏, I understand the fear and anxiety that most people may have when these attacks occur. Stay blessed. Love from India 🇮🇳
Did it affect your driving I just always feel like I have tunnel vision and can’t drive on the freeway?
Yes even I have sinus problem 🙂
Vertigo: s there any solutions to solve completely my giddiness... Very painful thing...
@@Theeno916 I don't drive. I tried learning to drive, but prefer public transport or to be driven by hubby 😊
Thank you so much and may God continue to bless you I needed this
I started dealing with vertigo about 1.5 years ago. Once I had an attack that was so bad I thought I was having a stroke and got taken to hospital in an ambulance. When I got back, I was sleeping on an incline to avoid it, and developed terrible TMJ symptoms and tinnitus. It turned out I had BPPV in both ears. But did I???? I was still feeling very “floaty” for a couple months after having the Epley maneuver clear up one side and the Foster method clear the other side….
Then I saw a chiropractor. Years of poor posture (forward head posture, to be specific) and a neck injury I never got fixed caused a herniated disk in my neck, along with associated bone spurs. Every since I’ve been working with a chiropractor regularly, my symptoms have GREATLY IMPROVED.
I genuinely hope this helps someone who is a frequent sufferer of vertigo. Don’t count out a cervical spine issue for chronic vertigo. Sending empathy and hugs to everyone suffering from this frightening condition!!!!
Hi, I hope you're well, interesting reading your experience ad mine is very similar,stroke like symptoms &7 days hospitalised/ MRI scans / CTshowed nothing,3 months later I'm still the same ,can't walk correctly, lost my speech for a month or so,diagnosed BPPV ,I'm not convinced that is correct, how are you now and any advice is really appreciated thanks x
I have vertigo, had two major ones. One that lasted all day long. Closing my eyes was the worse for me. I pray all of us who suffer from this gets relief.
nobody can imagin how a person is suffering from vertigo.i cant explain cant close my eyes or sleep is worst like its my last momemt of life.
I had vertigo on and off for a few weeks until it finally went away. All I could do was lay in bed. It’s the worst, I hope everyone who suffers from it finds relief :(
My Vertigo was off and on now and again but 6 year's ago it became 24/7 whenever I'm standing and walking.
It's preventing me from doing most anything without pre-planning my every step.
I can drive without any problems, the vertigo begins when my back isn't supported

Don't be worried about doing an MRI or CT, there's no danger and it doesn't hurt and it's very interesting
I have had Vertigo for ten years or so. I was beat up and had bleeding on the brain. I am forever deaf in my left ear. But, I'm alive, I try to look at the good!!
I was beat up too, have been dealing with vertigo off and on ever since ! Hope all is well

I had my first vertigo attack at 15. I’ll be 18 in January. I’ve had attacks frequently since I first got diagnosed with bpv. It’s horrible and I’m thankful for this video that explains it all so well, my doctors never explained like this. Nothing really helps me when I get my attacks, not even the head movements my physical therapist prescribed me. I’ve been healthy all my life and it saddens me that I’m sicker and kind of weaker compared to my peers. Often stress triggers my attacks, but sometimes they can literally come out of the blue, sitting in my bed BAM, eating at a restaurant BAM, doing absolutely nothing BAM, and the attacks last very long, at least a few hours or days. I really don’t hope bpv follows me through my whole life..
God Bless 🙏🙏🙏.
God bless you I hope it goes away for you
I was just diagnosed with BPPV. I start Epley Maneuvers next week. Dizziness is such a life robbing experience. The feeling of having no control is the worst!
Epley manouvers have done wonders for me. Go for it!!!
Agreed
how often you have a Vertigo and how long it lasts?
I had extreme vertigo (20ish years ago) and was told by a doctor nothing you can do for it......here is some anti nausea medication. For me personally I worked out what was causing & bringing multiple episodes on a weekly basis. Not to get my ears wet, so no swimming with head under water, in the shower I have to be careful, no motorbike helmets and no head phones or ear muffs, I was living in a very humored climate at the time as well. When I stopped all these my vertigo is soooooo much better probably 95% better......I hope this helps someone :)
First time experiencing vertigo today, everything's spinning and I didn't know why. This weirdly made me feel a lot safer, thank you
r u okay now?
@@qwertycvbnm793 yeah thank you, it cleared up after about a week. Was horrible and had to cancel my holiday but I rescheduled it and am now away with my girlfriend and am not falling over:)
@@Delaney_don1
Oh dear . I'm so glad you're better .
I feel like I could fly off the planet with all of this spinning
It horrid
@@jackieann5494 thank you, I found laying in the dark to be great for relieving the spins - I hope you have a speedy recovery

😊👍
Many haven't talked about sleeplessness, which I experienced as one of the main reasons. Yesterday and once before also, I had this bloody attack which gave me a bitter experience. (now, I am 74 male and a loner) I couldn't sleep for whole of two consecutive days and nights during both the occasions and followed by this severe simptoms of vertigo - meaning, suddenly I couldn't get up from the chair wherein I was comfortably sitting and the world was reeling before me, accute headache, severe vomiting sensation, trembling, severe perspiration and fell down on the floor indoors. Somehow, timely I rose up to enter the restroom to vomit out. After a while I took a warm water shower and started recovering slowly after three more vomits. By then it was 09-30 pm and without eating or drinking anything, I started sleeping. Believe me, I slept for 9 full hours uninterrupted and felt _almost_ alright. 8 hours after I woke up in the morning, I became 100% normal and now I am waiting for my friend to pick me up, to go and see a doctor before evening this day.
Did you find out anything when going to the doctor?
i hope ure okay
Fantastic video! I have recently been diagnosed with ALS, and have been having migraines for approximately 50 years, since childhood. Prior to my ALS diagnosis, for feelings of fullness in my right ear, I had many hearing tests and two brain scans. As a result of my latest MRI prior to diagnosis with ALS, it was found that many of the nerves on the right side of my neck, probably going up into my brain stem have made both my arms so weak that my right arm has become nearly useless and I can no longer even lift a cup of coffee with my right arm. I used to be a classical pianist, and around the time that I began having problems with my ear, I began struggling to play scales and cords or anything complicated with my right hand, so I have now sold my grand piano and stopped playing atogether. I have wonderful doctors and support from the ALS Association, and I’ve been handling things well, and this video is so validating and explains so easily things that seem to be happening inside my head. Vertigo has become a problem for me for the last three years, and this is a wonderful video to help me understand.
i have had two attacks of vertigo in my life and they were both caused by extreme stress...it is cool to see how responsive our body is to what we feed it (literally and energetically), love this video, super helpful
Thank you for sharing your experience. This might be the case for me too. How long did you take to recover and what did you do?
Sparrow Holistic I've also had two vertigo attacks in my life, 5 years apart. How long did your attacks last?

I recommend a special tape for vertigo. It treats the body because it is an organic vitamin and has a special energy in it. I saw this with my own eyes in my friend. You see the effect quickly. But the treatment process takes between 3 and 6 months depending on the body.

Got vertogo two years ago followed by severe anxiety. Saw an ENT who basically did nothing but check my ears. Watched a video on the Carol Foster MD maneuver....so much better than employ maneuver and it worked. Then a friend told me to go get physical therapy where they teach you to do exercises. Worked wonders. Now two years later after a dental appt where my head was too low for an hour, it’s back but I will do what I’ve learned.
Sorry I hope you feel better, I know it’s not easy living with the vertigo and it is very awful feelings. I started to have vertigo in 2005 of April three trips to ER and each time they couldn’t find the roots caused so they sent me home with Meclizines to take. It comes and goes and the duration was like couple hour each vertigo attacked. Up till 2014 another trip to ER again and this time more violence with symptoms of heart raises, sweating, tingling in my left arm and fingers also vomiting. And doctor at ER did X-ray and can’t find anything wrong. At this time the vertigo reoccurring more and more like once a month and at times twice a month. I hated it’s just disrupting from work, driving etc. Late 2014, I found myself stared in the mirror and I noticed that my left eye is bulge out, uneven so, I scheduled to see eye doctor and doctor said this; there’s something wrong with eye; it looks like mass tissue growths behind your eyeball. He sent me to do MRI, three days later he wants to see me. He told me that I had a tumor behind my left eye this might caused the vertigo. In March 2015, I had surgery to re
moves tumor and I’m being watch care to study this tumor and found out it was benign; I said thank you Jesus.🙏❤️
I have not vertigo for one full year after my surgery. Then in 2016 I started to have vertigo again, my family and eye doctors sent me to specialist many and many more MRI, TC and Pet scans and continues with Meclizines and see ENT. MRI/TC/Pet scans the brain looks great. Neurologist found out and diagnosed me with crystals inner ears~ BPPV was sent home and instructions of head exercises and continues with Meclizines. I followed his instructions and head exercises and it helps some but vertigo reoccurring but not as much. I wished it goes away forever.😮💨Not easy living with vertigo😓
@@SophiaCVeng oh that was so sad to hear that, I think so I have vertigo because yesterday I went to an optical clinic. They said I have astigmatism but when I already had an eyeglass. I'm still feel dizzy and it's even more dizzy when I wear my eyeglass. And also my ear aching. So I think I have vertigo because I always feel that my surroundings turn around.
@@SophiaCVengi hope all is well god bless you
Excellent,educational, professional, none have ever made such a classical video,Thank you very much.
My vertigo is killing me, had an episode yesterday and ended up in the hospital, now I'm told to have my ear check...I can't wait for this to go away forever....I pray everyone suffering from this gets the help they need
Had every test you can imagine MRI CT normal x-ray ultrasound clean nothing. Had a VNG could see anything, been going on for four years. All the ENTs are telling me it's stress and anxiety.
Seek out an upper cervical chiropractor (don't worry they are very gentle) and see if the bone in your neck that connects your head to your neck the atlas is out of position and impacting the brain stem it really helped me.
What an excellent video, thank you! I’ve had vertigo for 32 years and am so worn out and discouraged. No help from doctors - Epley used to help a bit but only at the beginning of a flare up. I also have tinnitus in the same ear. Tomorrow I am trying a CBDG blend tincture routine. I will report back.
I got vertigo about eight years ago. It occurred after I contracted swine flu. It happened on Christmas Day while I was driving. Luckily, I was able to safely pull over and call for help. It lasted through New Years and slowly dissipated.
🐖🐖🐖.
I’ve had bpv for 20 years. Yes they’ve done the epely and log rolls so many times. Doc finally said “you’re 1 in 10,000 who can’t be fixed.” For those of you suffering…I feel for you. I know it’s frustrating when people don’t understand what it feels like. Long term, it paralyzes much of your life. Driving…heights…movement…heck, changing lightbulbs!
You know exactly what it's all about.
I don't feel that even my family understands, sometimes it feels like they think your just faking it.... So Sad
@@maryfregain4648 I understand Mary! So many times I’ve heard “why don’t you just…” (whatever it is). Answer: because I can’t. I just keep trucking along best I can. I’m 59 and still working. It’s hard. Idk why this isn’t disability approved. But just keep going till I can’t. Hugs to you! I understand!
@@roxaneholloron2570
Thank You Roxane
You just keep trucking Hun, I Pray you will just get better with age.
I don't understand why you can't get disability,
I've known about so many people that got on disability, young people that looked perfectly able to work, I found out they hired a Lawyer that cost them about a month of a disability check.
You can call for free as a consultation.
I'm not on disability but I'm totally disabled and always in bed now.
Sending you my Prayers Hun
@ roxane Holloron do you have excessive ear wax also?
@@brendahannula9905
I have always had excessive ear wax, once I couldn't hear out of one ear for over a month, i kept trying to pop my ears and yawning
Your video and comments are very so helpful. Thank you all. I suffer from aura migraines,tinnitus (loud hissing sound) and vertigo. The aura migraine only last for a few minutes, however the vertigo last from two to three days. My ENT doctor checks me from time to time and they made several tests from CT scan to an MRI the good news… No tumors. The head exercises and drinking plenty of water helps.
Fascinating! I had an experience of sudden onset, intermittent but frequent vertigo lasting over a week. Went to GP after falling: my sense of “vertical” was about 40^ off. GP put me through several tests for positional vertigo, asked lots of questions, and concluded after checking my meds that I was deficient in potassium due to a particular BP med I’d been taking for a couple of years. Changed meds and that fixed it. Thank you NHS!
WOW, That's amazing and very interesting.
I have Hugh Blood Pressure as well, I agree there may be a connection.
After your DR changed your BP meds did it go away forever ?????
I wonder what would happen if I just stopped taking my BP meds.
I'm really tempted because I had always had Low BP ten approximately
10 or 12 year's ago I had a horrific chest pain, I was alone and when it wouldn't stop after about 15mins I feared I was going to pass out alone so the first time in my life I called an Ambulance, when they checked my
BP It was off the charts, they immediately gave meba mouth full
of Aspirin and hand full of Nitro and several injections of Morphine.
Nothing was helping, we got to the ER and they worked on me all day trying to get my BP down and stop the pain, I got Morphine every 30 mins but it was no help, finally the nurse whispered she was giving me a pain med that was 10 times stronger than Morphine, whatever it was was working and little by little my BP was coming down, they never gave me the reason forbwhat caused the whole thing but I was put on BP meds and it was only a year or two when the Vertigo started, at first i was intermittent and only 4 or 5 times a year then one day 7 year's ago that attack never went away.
Thanks so much for sharing, I'm going to think seriously on this
I have a feeling this is about to become my new favourite channel.
I've had it when I was younger a few times, then started thinking about the spinning motion as a roller coaster ride , now when I get it , it's a thrill ride into how far I can push myself before it wears off.
I still can't find solution to it for more than 17 years
Had this a few years ago and never fully got over it.
I have had vertigo for 5+ years. Saw 4 ENT Specialists, PT for vertigo, Steroid injections into ear drum. Nothing worked permanently. Then I had chest pains rushed to hospital with 2 blocked coronary arteries. 2 stents later and 3 years later with no episodes. Docs seem to think blood supply to head could of been the cause. Just my story, but happy it's over none the less. Hope this helps someone.
Lovely presentation. Going for MRI for MS, glad I asked my Dr. to book that as you have it listed here. I'm happy with my decision now.
Thank you for this informative video. I was diagnosed with Ménière’s disease in my early forties. Attacks were daily and unpredictable. They would last for hours sometimes. Everything the specialist prescribed did not offer relief. I finally had an endo lymphatic shunt performed in a university hospital in Philadelphia It lessened the duration of the vertigo attacks. They finally stopped in my late 60’s. I’m now deaf in the right ear but thankfully no more vertigo
Were you able to work with Meniere’s?
My mom had Menieres also…at least that’s what they thought she had. She would have sudden spells where she would have to last down quickly wherever she was for about 10-15 minutes. I remember once she was in a mall store where she had one of her spells so my sisters and I all layer down with her as she was embarrassed. One day in 1980 my stepdad thought she was having an episode and kept saying Pat, come on wake up…….but it wasn’t one of her attacks….he turned her over and saw blue lips….she had had a heart attack and went in a coma for 32 days before she passed away. I hope and pray that in your case that people won’t assume it’s an attack from menieres…it could be a different attack…..a heart attack! Good luck.,
Seeing everyone talking about it give me some sense of comfort. I had an awful attack today, and I felt as if I was about to die. I have some meds, not sure it it helps, but I got out the house and finished my day still feeling woozy.
Many thanks for this clear explanation. It seems I may have been suffering BPPV since childhood but I had just accepted it as normal to have to sleep with pillows and to avoid tilting my head back too far when working up ladders. My only real problem arose when tilted back in the dentist's chair but thankfully my dentist eventually took to tilting the chair slowly enough to prevent the vertigo and since then it has not been a problem. I'll be trying the Epley maneuver though and have suggested it to my brother-in-law who actually fell off his ladder and caused my current search for information on the condition.
What an amazing organ. Vertigo is terrible and I feel for those who suffer. Our body parts are so intertwined. 🔥 topic.
Better Yet.....
God is,
"So," Amazing!!!!!
I just had vertigo today at 4am. While laying down. Standing walking is fine but once I put my head back, there you go. I saw a young doctor but couldn't trust her judgment. I am planning to do medical check up tomorrow. Last year it happened, much milder, but short. I noticed then that I accidentally went total vegan for 6 weeks. So I ate bone broth and lamb soup and immediately I was fine. This time is different. It's persistent. It's been such a day.... Thank you for all of you here who are sharing your experience. It's early for me, but I trust my body intelligence to tell me what's going on.... Hopefully I find the way to self healing and once more, learn about my body and myself.... 🦋
An update: it lasted for a day. My sister, who is an energy healer, advised me to practice deep, belly breathing. I did it until I fell asleep (that night, I sat sleeping, with my back leaning on a pile of 5 pillows). I probably woke up every now and then, but I noticed in between, that even though my head was tilted low, the vertigo didn't return). I woke up almost feeling my usual self, but decided to go to an ENT appointment in a big, international hospital. I was the first patient in queue, but the doctor couldn't come. I was asked to sign up to another ENT later, at first I agreed. But as I sat there, waiting, feeling my usual self, I took it as a sign from the Universe to cancel it. It's been almost a week, and it hasn't come back. Nevertheless I decided to take a rather thorough long overdue medical check up tomorrow. Just to get a big picture of my overall health. The data is important, but how I am going to read it, is even more paramount. And I know, there's no way I will blindly rely on the allopathy medicine system of reading. Their logic of "one pill for every Ill". I want to take control of my health by knowing my body/self intimately. Mind body soul/spirit. Learning about yourself is so rewarding!
Hope this sharing helps others in need.
So what was it bppv?
@@marklopez5659 I would think so. But it's self-diagnosed. I don't run any tests to prove it. It lasted only for a day and night, lucky me. But it was alarming cos it never happened to me before. The room moved rather extreme.

@llulaby in retrospect, I'd say, stress. Then, I remember, I was struggling to come to terms with a big decision I made few months earlier, that was still very much impacting my days. So besides eating sleeping well, I tried my best to reach the inner peace within. One of them through meditation practice. It took me sometimes. But for almost year now, I don't have any symptoms anymore. Hope you will find your own key to healing. Find the roots. Every body is different and unique.
Thank you very much for creating this informative and useful video on vertigo. It is so terrible if you suffer this condition. Hopefully this causes awareness on how to prevent and treat this sickness.

I'm not a medical student or in the medical profession, but I so enjoyed this video as I suffer with vertigo, I'm booked for a hearing test, this was very helpful to me, TYFS, and brilliantly explained. Have subscribed😘
i'm glad if it helped
My vertigo is associated with sinusitis. Often in rainy season or in winter I have the problem of water accumulation in my forehead. When I suffer from colds, I do not get a runny nose but can feel the heaviness in the head that shifts according to the position of my head and sometimes ears get blocked. I also sometimes have that vertigo problem that was very severe some years back but now just warns me with some spinning of the head when I suddenly change position. I take regularly one tablet a day of Lemolate that relieves me of this problem.
I have vertigo 3 weeks and still recovering i hope will go back to normal its so hard when i feel like my brain will react and include my stomach first like i feel i fall 1 sec even awake or lying down when i do certain head movement.i pray to all of us suffering with vertigo will all heal and will never suffer.
I also have vertigo it feels like my head is spinning but in reality it doesn't, how are u?
@@syedaaribhasan2493 im getting better stay hydrated everyday warm water only to avoid anxiety on stomach when vertigo attack, i do half somersault maneuver by dr. Carol this works for me rather than the epley maneuver. I hope you get better too.
I been sufferning a year already and it is almost if not everyday its scary especially since there is no specific diagnosis and ive been negative on alot of test i have an ent appt oct i feel so disabled and just life isnt the same because of the fear of when will i feel it again. Pray for healing for everyone because it is horrible 😢 thank u for ur guys stories i guess im not alone in this
When I was first diagnosed with vertigo I didn’t know what was going on ever since I had my avm (Brain haemorrhage) it’s been not just on off but a sense of hearing loss but with all my prayers and those those that are worse than myself all in healing with all God’s love.
This was informative. I have experienced Vertigo ever since I had a stroke. It has really changed my life
I had a stroke 4 months ago and have been suffering from vertigo everyday since! Have you found anything that works?
you have a damaged nerve
I've been suffering from vertigo sporadically for a couple years now. I'll be seeing my doctor soon for it since the last episode was so bad that I had to crawl to get to the bathroom and felt extremely nauseated. It was horrible! I tried some exercises from UA-cam this morning and hoping they will help since I had some mild symptoms today. Thank you for this info.

Vertigo sufferers, please see a physical therapist who is trained to perform the Epley Maneuver. It takes only 10-15 minutes to get rid of the vertigo. If you have ever had vertigo, find the physical therapist ASAP so you are prepared for getting this treated immediately next time it happens. The Epley Maneuver treats benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (BPPV), which this podcaster mentions.

Hello Kimberly......
This was the best explain of vertigo causes by far!
I really appreciate everyone sharing their experiences I’ve recently over the past 5 days just found out I have vertigo. I’m 21 years old and it was very nerve wrecking especially since no one around me has experienced anything like it. Reading all of these comments knowing that I am not the only one makes me feel better and makes me feel as if I am in a community💛, so far Valium, Meclizine, warm showers/bath and sleeping/bed rest has helped. I’m still very new to all of it so it is a lot to take in but I’m happy to take some of y’all tips and these videos and applying it💆🏾♀️.
Same. I am just 18 and I was so scared cus I was facing this from a few days. Got to know my sinusitis is triggering it and also bec I'm having a lot of coffee lately. Glad to see I'm not the only one.
I can't wait for this to go away have had it for a week now and it makes me feel not to be normal and it's terrible and if you explain to someone who has never experienced it's really bad.😏
Day 7 for me. Scary stuff. Sat up suddenly from sleep to a spinning room and eyes darting all around. Luckily its getting better. Sleeping elevated helps. I think mine is bppv. I have done maneuvers at home to help it. I'm drinking extra water too.
reading this comment and the ones under it helped me alot. i am also 21 but i have been dealing with vertigo for almost two years but it's scary everytime i get it. i suffer from migraines and get sinus infection often which i am now learning causes vertigo too. I wasn't aware of the stress being one of them.
Just replying because of your age. Read my comment above. I'm MUCH older, therefore brain tissue not as fresh, computer-generated games weren't around when i was a kid. neither were computers. But that's how i discovered Vertigo. it's Hell. I wouldn't continue valium for long. Get off the computer. Go to an ashram for a few months if you can.
You deserve my inscription in your Chanel honestly wish if you were in Morocco to solve my problem ,I had vertigo before not any more but still have the vestibular issue my dream is to visit you one day so I can lead normal life !GOD bless you -cheers
I've had vertigo for 10 years intermittently. I think a combination of poor posture, panic disorder, holding my breath when tense, and jaw clenching have been the contributing factors. Just the other day I was looking down at my phone when all of a sudden my head felt like it was getting whipped around violently. It was so bad that I saw double. Vertigo is probably the worst thing that's happened and keeps happening to me. My episodes usually last for about 5 to 10 seconds but the longest one was 1 min. Relaxation techniques like breathing exercises, meditation, warm bath, stress relief tea, valerian root, walking, and spending time in nature have helped me. I hope this helps those of you suffering from vertigo.
So sorry I have it so bad 👎
Hi, is it working? Because I have the same problem 😔
Sometimes I clench my jaw and/or hold my breath without realizing it. Followed by the spinning, moving, off balance situations.
Sometimes it's very frustrating, and sometimes very scary/dangerous (when I'm driving or riding my motorcycle) I feel like the road was moving in all different directions and hard to keep control. 😔🤷♀️
Looking at my phone or computer screen then moving my eyes to focus elsewhere triggers it for me as well.
I recommend a special tape for vertigo. It treats the body because it is an organic vitamin and has a special energy in it. I saw this with my own eyes in my friend. You see the effect quickly. But the treatment process takes between 3 and 6 months depending on the body.

This explanation is so much appreciated ,especially in my case .Iam a person that has suffered from cronic positional vertigo .At this moment ,iam quite fine thank god .But this brief description of my syptoms have given me great relief.

Stroke 😂
I am bipolar.When I read these comments,I pray to God that all of you get complete recovery & no more anxiety or panic attacks.I had to quit job as I was on roller coaster all the time, energy swings.Thank God, I am recovering with the help of a great psychiatrist.
Very educative information thank you
🙏🙏🙏
Thank you for this video I watched a ton of them trying to figure out what was going on with me and this is by far the best explanations of each symptom thank you
Thank u😇 praying for good health for all. GOD BLESS U😇
Thanks🕊🙏🌸💗
Thank you for your prayers I pray for you also
thank you so much for this video, my mother was just diagnosed for vertigo but we didn't get any details on which version or reason for it. now I understand it is BPPV and how to take care of it, once again thank you.
I feel sorry for all those having vertigo , I m having it for 2 years . Hope we all come out of this hell soon .
If you are still suffering, I am positive that I can help if you give me an opportunity to earn your trust. Feel free to reach out if you have any questions or would like proper guidance. I have over 3 decades of experience.
@@etdmike Who are you
Dude I used to always tell my family that I would feel like the world around me was spinning and that it felt like I was being forced up out my body, but no one believed me as a kid. I used to get it all the time when I was younger and I absolutely hated it. There would be so many times where I felt like I was about to faint, but I always just told everyone I was lightheaded since no one believed me. I remember in elementary school this feeling would just randomly go crazy in class and I guarantee if i didn’t will myself to stay awake I would’ve passed out. This feeling recently got triggered when I went on a Ferris wheel and I thought I’d do some research on it, turns out it was all vertigo/dizziness. Sucks though because I wish I knew this when I was younger, but hey atleast I know I’m not crazy.
hey please tell which doctor treat vertigo
@@hopepym78 Normally, people go to an ENT doctor.
A physiotherapist with vestibular training can also be seen. Some of the peripheral causes of vertigo can be treated at an outpatient visit. If there is suspicion for central causes a visit to the ER would be recommended. I evaluate and treat vertigo regularly in my hospital. Not every PT will have advanced training though.
I relate so much, not knowing the diagnosis as a kid and feeling like you’re going crazy lol I hope you’ve found some relief!
@@hopepym78 After all medical tests go to chiropractor as 2 muscles in head and neck can be the problem. Only one visit helped tremendously
Suffered a stroke in the past that started with dizziness. So having Vertigo was extremely unsettling at first. But it's just vertigo, according to my doctor. I had a minor ear infection causing a build up of fluid in middle ear. Couldn't stand or walk. Granddaughter got the day off of school because I couldn't function. She enjoyed that!
Janet Simpkins
Thank you I have found this to be life-changing. I want to stay connected with more ongoing conversations.
I’ve been having vertigo for I would say almost 6 months now at mild doses, but last night whilst I was at work I had a bad attack of it where I had to sit down for a good 5 minutes because I was genuinely scared. I have the WORST posture in the world, I have tension headaches almost everyday and I had no clue that posture was linked with vertigo so thank you for this video
Can you please share the video and where to find it to watch it? Thanks
Didnt know posture figured into it either..mine is getting worse until I almost look like a question mark!
thats me also
My vertigo disappeared when the doctors put me in a circular rotating chair....this is in Europe tho.

Thanks for this information, I wake up with headaches, when I go out I feel like I'm going to fall, I didn't real know what was going, it's been going on for a while now, I will be talking to my doctor soon.
Hi i got the same situation today? How did it go for you?
@@diemflores2623 I'm losing my hearing in my left ear, next week my doctor will be putting in my hearing aid
@@zeldahooks3255 wow I’m so sorry to hear that :( couples of years ago I got some inner ear infection and made me feel vertigo and kinda blurred my hearing for a couples of days, but it got solved by itself after that. Yesterday my left ear kinda itch (and I got like this beeping noise going for like 3seconds) so I used the cotton swab to clean. And today woke up with bad vertigo 😣
Thankyou very much for sharing this.. I have a vertigo since birth and in my left ear I have a hear loss... Once again thanks
I love the simplicity in your video. Very easy to understand.
Thank you, this helped me understand better about vertigo.
Very useful. My wife was diagnosed as having vestibular migraine and visual vertigo. No treatment was offered except drugs which she declined.
My mom swears on vertigo workouts. She said they make you more dizzy but after awhile or the next day it’s gone.
Vertigo sufferers, please see a physical therapist who is trained to perform the Epley Maneuver. It takes only 10-15 minutes to get rid of the vertigo. If you have ever had vertigo, find the physical therapist ASAP so you are prepared for getting this treated immediately next time it happens. The Epley Maneuver treats benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (BPPV), which this podcaster mentions. Ask the PT for diagrams on how to treat this after the one visit. I think it helps if you can get someone to spot you but check w the PT.
UPPER CERVICAL CHIROPRACTOR, not a regular one. They are difficult to find but well worth it.
@@stj971 thank you
This was very helpful in explaining the causes & I'm still trying to figure out which vertigo I have. I'm also not sure which medical professional to start with. An ENT gave me a hearing test, a pamphlet for Meniere's and that was it.
Just found you and man where have you been my whole life. But perfect timing before my clinicals
wow just wanted to know what causes it and you went above and beyond thank you so much 100% oh yeah it comes and goes but the Epley maneuver made help me I hope
very helpful, mine has just started with sudden movement onset like getting up suddenly or turning head and of course constant pain in neck literally :) transmitting down to arm shoulder that entire side..
UPPER CERVICAL CHIROPRACTOR, try it.
Thank you for this educational video. I will share it with a friend whose mother suffers vertigo & she is often dizzy & loses her balance.
This video is very informative. Although it does not go deeper in explanation of the pathophysiology , it is still very informative.
After the new information, a slept on 2 pillows 🛌 and got so much better! Off course the vertigo medicines given to me when I left the Main Building in the Hospital are not much left. Now, self protection / action is needed. A joyful heart is good medicine ⋯ Proverbs 17:22
EXcellent explanation , thank you.
I had episodes off and on of vertigo for about 20 years. It would be most noticeable lying down and turning my head to the left, or standing and tipping my head back. At times the vertigo was very strong, room spinning. Went to a chiropractor who worked on my neck. Immediate relief. Since then I go back every three months to keep my neck flexible. I have a tendency to tense up the left side of my neck. I watched this to see if neck tension would be mentioned in this video. It wasn't. I am free from vertigo....and migraine headaches cleared up as well. All apparently tension related.
I fully agree with that!
I have been seeing a Chiropractor for 40 years, and to be honest, it is my Chiropractor that keeps me mobile and relatively pain free.
And yes, Chiropractic can, and does, help with a lot more than just "back and neck pain."
Chiropractic can help with a LOT of "Medical" conditions, including high blood pressure, sugar diabetes, digestive issues, pulmonary issues and even erectile dysfunction. It just depends on what is "CAUSING" those problems. And the Chiropractor does it without the use of DANGEROUS and sometimes even DEADLY Prescription DRUGS!
Chiropractors "treat the CAUSE of the problem."
Medical doctors "treat the SYMPTOMS of the problem."
THANKS a Lot fore this info
Greetings. High BP & deficiency of Vit D & B and start of diebets are reasons in my view.
You're fortunate
bless your heart. thank you for sharing this.
Thank you so much for this video. This has helped me a lot, 3 days ago I woke up with a vertigo attack and have been getting them anytime I lie down or bend down (such as picking something up) and it's been super scary. This video helped me figure out I most likely don't have a central problem and most likely BPPV. I did go see a general physician but they didn't do half as much to explain it as you did, 3 mins of asking questions handing me some pills and saying come back in 5 days if it still persists.
THANK YOU for bringing peace of mind by explaining so much more to me.
Did the Meclizine med help?
There are numerous videos of how to self treat. The Epley Maneuver works very well but doctors don't usually use it because they don't make any money actually curing you. Physical therapists and chiropractors are your best shot at relief if you can't do it at home.

Excellent description. Well done on providing such clear help.
I have a mixture of eczema in my ear, sinusitis, migraine and sometimes hypotension. I have vertigo probably on a daily basis.
Maybe meniere's disease
Thanks for this information, I had vertigo for a while, didn't have money for doctor, thanks God it went away.
I watched because I was interested in what VERTIGO I had? The GP said it was Labyrinthitis. This was a sudden and stunning take down of me while driving my car. First I felt queasy - then ill - and then like my head was going to explode. Around a minute from onset I pulled up in the main street of a town I was passing through. I needed a doctor - I admit to great worry and distress. What on earth was going on in my head - whatever, I was convinced death was possible. Its getting out of the car that I discovered I had no balance. I got to a doctor, tears streaming, hunched and holding my head with eyes closed. It is then I learned about Labyrinthitis - I definitely do not recommend it. I recall that I came right in a few days of resting isolation. I can't tell which type this was from your descriptions. Such sudden onset with complete demolition - is frightening. And even now, I have no idea what caused it, or how to avoid that cause in future - touch wood.
bro same thing happened to me i was just walking and it suddenly came onto me i was diagnosed with labrynthitis
I have Positional Vertigo and it comes and goes. I’m miserable when it acts up though. So dizzy and it gets worse if I close my eyes. I have exercises to do when it comes up and they usually helps
Circular rotating chair.
What are these exercises
Great Video, very informative, I now have a better understanding of my type of vertigo, Thank You
In case you have not gotten any relief yet, you can try this. rb.gy/kjc5nh
I experienced vertigo for the first time two years ago. I was under so much stress from work and with the pandemic going on, it didn’t help. I feel like I’ve never been the same since then. I do vertigo exercises here and there and they actually help. I need to be more persistent with them though. I hope anyone who suffers from vertigo finds relief and if you’ve never had vertigo, I hope you never do
@@skyre2039 so sorry to hear that! It definitely can be hard and it’s even harder when ppl who have never experienced it don’t understand what we go through. Sending positive vibes your way. I hope you feel better.
I experiencing it today and it's my first time :( I'm only 13 years old. And how is that possible?
@@abcde8320 that’s the same thing I said when I experienced the first time. I’m older than you but I was 28 at the time and that was my first thought because I always heard it was more of an elderly thing or something that happened to those who were in their 50’s and over
Thanks for the excellent information it's very helpful 👍 Years ago I used to have Vertigo.
You explained all this sooo good , thank you! My English is poor but i understood everything!
Grazie 💥
Thank you for your explanation, I fully understand now so time for me to visit my doctor. I understand there are exercises to alleviate the problem but not too much is mentioned about prescriptions. or an operation to rectify.
I've been suffering from vertigo and tinnitus for quite some time, have seen doctors, even tried 5 sessions acupuncture... It went worse until last May... An ENT Specialist informed me that i had Meniere's disease and prescribed 'Betahistine' for me..... Great relief. Feeling much better since then. Don't know if it works for everyone but for me it does... Keeping fingers crossed for the future 🤞
I find that when I look up and back it is worse. When I get up from bed I am lightheaded/dizzy. Sometimes it lasts all day. I am going to see ENT and after seeing this I will know what to ask. Thank you so much 🥰🙏🏻
This happens to me also. Luckily it goes away when I follow the instruction exercise the doctor gave me moving my head certain ways.
I found out I had last year
How are you doing? My symptoms are similar to yours.... Hope you can give us an update. Blessings from Tennessee!
I'm 59 & I got vertigo last spring getting out of bed & it scared the crap outta me. It was horrible that day & I didn't go anywhere. Since, I do feel some dizziness when I turn in bed or tilt my head back, and it wasn't that bad until the other night & it was horrible again. I vomited twice over the day. I heard Dramamine helps & I may take one now & then before bedtime. I never have sinus infections, flu or hearing problems, luckily. My grandma also had vertigo & took prescription for it.
Thanks for great explanation about vertigo. I found it really helpful for me.
I have just had vertigo for the first time 10 days ago. I couldn’t lift my head off the pillow. It was accompanied by a BP of 210/107. My brain scan was normal. I had the first dose of Pfizer three weeks prior so I delayed the second dose. I am 64 years old, not unfit and weigh under 140lbs and a nurse. It is diminishing but still debilitating because I can’t walk for too long. I am unable to work. I have a very different outlook now towards people who suffer from this terrible symptom. I would like any response from people. Thank you so much for this video, it is extremely well done.
My mom had a severe vertigo episode today and needed to be crushed to the ER and she got the second moderna shot 2 weeks ago . I wonder if the vaccine has something to do with it
My son was also rushed to hospital two weeks after his second Phizer vaccine . He was vomiting and couldnt walk two steps without falling down .He was kept in for 4 days , off work for three months couldnt drive or go out . Nothing like that has ever happened before . All scans were clear , Doctors said it wasnt anything to do with the vaccine . We are 100% sure it was the vaccine . Nobody seems to care . 6 months later he still has severe headaches .
This is weird but when I get vertigo I like to take warm baths when I get vertigo. I think that vertigo gets worse when I begin to panic. The warm water on my skin instantly calms me down and the weightlessness helps a little. I’m not a doctor by any means but I hope this helps someone. Been suffering from vertigo my whole life. I’m 20 now and thankfully have been able to learn to cope with it. It’s not constant but When it hits me it’s horrible. Just remember that those spells won’t last forever! Hang in there guys
WOW. My vertigo started about 20 years ago in a very limited way. Usually one.or 2 days in April. Key allergy time.
It's gotten more frequent and more debilitating. Seriously not amused
ENT doctor said to keep doing the "log roll" exercises to keep the crystals in their proper position.
Cheers man I needed that
I have suffered from migraine most of my life, but these seem to have stopped for the last 3 years and instead
I have now got vertigo.
En espayol
So sorry you had it all your life! My first and only horrible episode sent me to emergency. I felt so alone until I researched it. Now if it occurs again I will try the bath!
A super explanation of these complications - thank you. I gather the primary purpose of your channel is education - in particular medical students preparing for exams. Well, I hope you don't mind the subscription, with notifications and the comment - I got a lot out of your presentation and will be around for more. I'm a Senior but I'm still a student of life; so Thank you to your team!
my mom has vertigo, thank you for this video it really helped!
Also, for acoustic neuromas, if it is large enough and starts to compress the CP angle area, would it then be considered central instead of peripheral?
I would like to inform that I have been rehearsing for Vertigo solution t.co/Etsd4PwStq and I had great results. Vertigo ceased following the first two and a half months and now I am fit and fine
I had sudden onset of vestibular migraine a few years after menopause. My headaches eased but vertigo swept in, in their place. I also have progressing Meniere’s Disease as my mother did. Have constant multi layered tinnitus, with pressure in ears warning of a “ spell”. Also seems related to my cervical spine degeneration. Not a fun situation but I manage.
Hello Mary.......
I don't know if this will help you but you should try to find an UPPER CERVICAL CHIROPRACTOR. They are different than regular chiropractors. I have similar issues but I know the cause of mine. Most drs couldn't find their way out of a paper bag. We all need to do our own homework/research and keep going to different drs until you find one who knows what they're talking about. They need to understand PATHOLOGY.
Hi baby how are you doing I hope you are doing good am Ben from umuahia
Great information clearly presented.
I suffer really badly with vertigo since I had my covid vaccine!
I have had otosclerosis, a family genetic condition, two stapidectomy operations and find the uncertainty of this condition debilitating.
Thanks for your information. I do
Thank you.... this has helped a lot and might save many life in emergency who know about this.
Just wanted to add that traumatic brain injuries can also cause central vestibular problems. I've been dealing with it for the past 5 years since my tbi.

It good to learn about more of these things that are in the body's
An Excellent & very clear explanation of the causes !!! Thank you.
Thank you so much for this. You have confirmed my suspicion that my 3cm posterior fossa meningioma, against the cerebellum, is linked to my recent vertigo. I had gamma knife treatment last month with no vertigo, until I received a 4th covid vaccination.
Thank u.
Simplified & Very informative
Great video! Very well explained and educational! Thank you!
Glad it was helpful!

Mine started November last year. It occurs once a month on the average. Based on my CT Scan, I have mild inflammation of the right Sinus, which according to the doctor was possibly the cause of my vertigo.
Explain well about vertogo. My wife have this problem past one year. I have to consult a GP
In bed...room feels like it's spinning.
Friend thinks I might have vertigo.
Searching for answers, I found this video.
My vertigo doesn't bother me laying down, it's not a spinning feeling or dizziness it's more like trying to walk on a boat in very choppy water drunk
Did you get Covid shot recently before the vertigo ?
@@devinpeirce7152
I found out, after being tested, that I had covid...loss sense of smell & taste, dizziness/vertigo (for a few days) brain fog, very lethargic & fever 🤒
Had no issues with breathing problems.
@@devinpeirce7152 my mom has vertigo and nausea and she got her shot 2 days ago... does that mean anything?

Love learning from your vids. Thank you.. Keep them coming.
If you rotate and you turn your head sideways its pretty weird it makes your vision go circles pls dont try this!
I had vertigo for a while, specially while driving , running, heights, etc etc , and I think I have a solution for it. Haven’t had it for a long time. First thing to do: go to an allergist . Make sure you’re not eating something that you’re allergic to , or smell that you’re allergic to , including perfumes colognes cleaning supplies etc. detergent . Mine was citrus , and beef. After changing my diet . It took a minute , close to a month or two. And drinking 5 oz of Benadryl (children’s ) at night before bed or when having vertigo. I promise ! Never had it back. Ya’LL watch what you guys eat , drink , smell. It is worth it to try. And I bet it will go away! Please try ! You guys don’t loose anything. Thank you for reading.
Excellent, many thanks very helpful, clearly explained. God blessings.
