Dizzy for months!! And no one knows why

Alyssa, trust me you're not alone. I'm over 2 months feeling the same. It started with a couple of staggers of dizziness, followed by a feeling like I was going to pass out but didn't. A constant feeling of off balance/light headedness. I was diagnosed with a urinary infection and told that was probably why I was getting dizzy. The infection cleared up but my head has stayed the same. All of my bloods are clear. I'm currently waiting on an appointment with an ENT. My doctor first put me on stemetil which did nothing. I've now been taking serc (betahistine dihydrochloride) for around 5 weeks. I'm not sure if it has helped to settle the feeling because it hasn't got any worse but it certainly hasn't got any better. Objects in my peripheral vision shake, I sway when I stand still, I feel like everything around me is unsettled. The feeling is worse when I try to go into a large open space or a busy shop, I feel like my head is "swimming", and I have no control over my body. At that point i have to leave. Whatever is wrong is literally ruining my life, it's awful.

Hi alyssa I have been in a similar situation for around 7 months now Virtigo/sickness balance issues which are worse in busy environments like supermarkets,parks etc.The first thing that helped take me to around 60 percent was to start going all the places that made me dizzy/ anxious like the supermarket.I then started a vestibular rehabilitation program on YouTube by Byung han I do 10 minutes three times a day, he also has eyes exercises which take around 4 minutes which I do 3 times a day.After 2 months of doing these I was at around 70percent but still getting very bad days where iwas very ill and having to stay in bed.You have to persivere with the exercises as you will get worse before getting better,I then kind of hit a level I could not get past so I tried a couple other things,one was a nootropic called piracetam which was originally developed in the 60's for Virtigo/motion sickness it has no side effects and if you google Virtigo and piracetam you will find some positive studies on it I have been taking it two weeks now and feel a lot clearer in my mind less fuzziness brain fog.The last thing I did was start optokenetic exercises from you tube doing 10 minutes 3 times a day and I feel they have had a positive effect on my chronic Virtigo.Today I am at around 80 percent still not perfect but feeling so much more positive I will recover to my former state.Stay positive you will improve,I know that's hard as constantly feeling sick/dizzy/not all there is draining and gets you down but will be back to yourself just got to be patient.These things I have suggested obviously won't help everyone but it doesn't hurt to have options in beating this thing.

Hi there.

I've been dealing with lightheadedness pressure in my head. Feeling of motion sickness all day everyday. It's misery !! It's been over 3 yrs now. Drs say it's stress depression anxiety. I refused to take meds for any of the above until 3 months ago I gave in. I was taking cymbalta It helped but I started to put on weight. Side effect. I stopped it. Then he gave me Wellbutrin took it for a month and I noticed it made me agitated aggressive. Stopped that. Now I'm not taking anything and I'm back to square one ) : My ears feel this pressure , my head my face , neck. It's very subtle but enough to feel that motion, swaying, like

My brain is on a raft. I've had MRIs , ct scans, ENTs , I had the equilibrium test done, blood work like you wouldn't believe. Blurry vision , nauseous sometimes. It's dibilitating. I'm always tired , but I different kind of tired. Praying we get better soon

It's awful I know I ssuggest seeinga pphysico therapist mine did wonders for me
