Constant off balance feeling and dizziness for 6 months

a lot of us have same or close to issues not sure that anyone has figured it out i have had this since 2011 what helped me was doing the exercises to regain my balance and it took awhile to be able to focus again i just kept pushing and pushing although it was very hard but now i still have issues i just learned to deal with them but it did get a lot better some days are better then others to where it doesn't even bother me you just cant lay in bed all day you have to stay active and do what you love i wish you the best 

i hear you but it will get better not 100% but livable for me anyway i couldn't drive or stand longer then 2 minutes walked around the house holding the walls it was bad stay strong and keep pushing I have had the MRI, ENT hearing, eye test all that and they could never help I just kind of gave up on the Doctors as they had no clue what to say to me try the exercises for balance and stay active as possible I wouldn't suggest huge changes with diet or stop doing this and that because that's what i did and i think i might have shocked my body a little more sorry if my words don't help and i really hope you get better 

The reason nothing has been done is because nobody knows what to do about it.they know not what to do its a guessing game which you need not be in.you have tinnitus for life youve just got to get used to it  xx

I also have the off balance type of dizziness for many years now.  Sorry you are going through this. Probably the most common cause is vestibular migraine.   It can take a while and multiple Drs to get the right diagnosis. But, don’t give up.  Mine ended up being from one of the rare conditions.  

Hi Carla

?I can only add to what others have said here.  I have tinnitus in left ear from a head injury many years ago, so have learned to live with that.  In 2013 my balance went and prior to this happening I had BPPV.  I thought both conditions were one condition but it turned out that I also had silent migraines which were causing the severe balance issues, visual problems.  I also had a faint whilst on a plane, as my ears are now so sensitive to flying that it worsens all my balance and hearing for days afterwards.  

?Anxiety about feeling dizzy also worsens the dizzy feelings, it all very much a vicious circle.  I have got beyond thinking it will ever get completely resolved but it has got better over the past couple of years and not as bad as it use to be because now instead of getting upset about it I am trying to live with it and enjoy the time when it isn't as bad as it has been and take it steady on a day when it flares up.  I hope you get a proper diagnosis as it does affect every aspect of life when you are 'wonky' but the worst thing you can do is get really stressed out about it because that makes it all the worse.

?All best wishes.

Mine is caused by the effects of a accustic neuroma xx

The last few days Ive started to experience a numbNess feeling on the right side of my face also feels warm to touch this is a new symptom and not sure if related but its making me anxious has anyone had the same while exsperiancing

Hi,

Are you any further along in finding out? I’ve had dizziness for the past 6 months I’ve had bloods done which are fine and I’ve now been referred to ENT as have had medications for vertigo that did not work at  all. I have my ENT appt next week. It’s really getting me down as I have a 1 year old and I feel like I missing out on fun things i could be doing with her as I always feel so unsteady. It’s always there as soon as I wake up and is very bad come the evening! If I could just sleep i would!! Because that’s what it feels like. It’s sore behind my eyes, eyes are blurry and I just feel off balance and not myself. I hope the ENT can help as I’ve had enough.
