I put a post on the dizziness forum

About my symptoms and someone mentioned vestibular migraines. Can anyone who suffers from vestibular migraines clarify if these symptoms sound like it could be what I have?

I read a little on it but can’t decide if my symptoms fit completely. Mainly because my dizziness comes and goes over the course of 7-10 days and then disappears.

About three months ago I started to feel very dizzy around my period. It lasts around 7-10 days, comes and goes. I’m not so dizzy that I can’t stand or feel like the room is spinning, it’s more subtle than that but very uncomfortable and disturbing. I also feel extremely tired during these times. It then goes away mostly and returns around my period again. I’ve had iron and bloods taken and all are clear.

I also suffer from migraine auras which are very unpredictable and occur often. I haven’t noticed a link between the two. I’ve seen a doctor and a neurologist (for my migraines) and neither seem worried about it but can’t tell me what the dizziness if from. It’s very upsetting not having a clear diagnosis or any idea on how to make it stop.

i personally dont know if it is vestibular migraine but just thought id ask the people who actually suffer it.

I’d love any help with this.

Thank you
