    This video was more informative than any of my precious doctors. Thank you!

    Thank You for the video. I'm in month 5 of vestibular hypofunction. I found what works best for me are gaze stabilization and just getting up and doing things. Staying active as much as I can has really helped me tremendously. I used to just lay in bed because I thought it would get better on its own but that's not the case. I walk everyday with my wife and try to look both ways as much as I can. One odd thing is, when I move my eyes to the right my vision doubles then goes back to single vision. If I cover an eye it doesn't do it. Only with both.

    This video explains it well. I had a bad flare up of Hashimoto’s last summer which produced dizziness. I’m assuming that’s when the damage occurred.

    What specific blood tests are used to diagnose vestibular hypofunctiom?

    Is vestibular hypofunction the same as vestibular loss.

    I have been diagnosed with BVH, the cause is congenital. I’m older now and realise it was slight as a child but normal for me, as I got older the falls were more. The tests show slight balance on my right ear and bit more on left. My falls were always to the right ! Skiing, cycling. Sadly now have osteoporosis which was overlooked by the NHS and have fallen several times and fractured many bones, I use a wheelchair for safety and am coping well. I do not eat gluten now and reducing my stadium intake. Hope this helps others.

    Can vestibular hypofunction happen with bppv or vestibular neuritis? How to detect it when it happens during those cases which has similar symptoms?

    I have bilateral vestibular hypofunction. I was told by my doctor that therapy would be little if to no help at all. I am no longer able to drive because of the extreme oscillopsia. Is there anything that has helped people deal with this?t

    • @ktfo4620

      I would get another opinion. I've done gaze stabilization exercises and that help the oscillopsia. Also getting out and walking really helped. I would do gaze stabilization lying in bed too and it still helped. My neck is always getting stiff as well so a really good neck massage helped with head movements. But to be honest, getting out and doing some walking and exercises where you can be alone and not worry about looking like a drunk is nice. How long have you had it?

      I have bilateral hypofunction and I can drive during the daytime. Do all the eye gaze/ vor exercises.

    I was told head impulse test is done for vestibular neuritis. I see from you it is done for vestibular hypofunction. So if head impulse test is postive, how to know if it is vestibular hypofunction or vestibular neuritis?

    What blood tests????

    What's the difference in causes between bilateral vs unilateral? Seems like unilateral is caused by viruses/bacteria and bilateral seems to be causes by the above plus systemic autoimmune issues. Is that correct? Couldn't seem to find that in the video or perhaps I missed it.

    I was told I have bilateral vestibular hypertension! I can’t seem to find any information on this only hypotension. Can you explain the difference to me?

      That's a new one to me as well. Vestibular receptors and activation can affect blood pressure. I don't know if this is what they were trying to convey. Vestibular hypofunction is a term and I would ask them for more clarification. Best of luck.

      Treatment is the same as unilateral (VOR x1 VOR x2 headnods/head shakes), but I kind of does not stick....you have to keep doing it everyday

    Why does an Aip diet cause more dizziness than usual!
