I've been dizzy for the past year..desperate for help
Posted , 11 users are following.
I have been dizzy for a few years, but the past 4 months have been intolerable. I am dizzy 24/7 especially when moving my head even slightly or walking. I feel like the ground is moving when i walk. I live in the NYC area and have had every cardiac test available, also MRI, MRA, and CT scan of my brain and everything was negative. I'm a 41 years old male, have worked out my whole life and eat well.I would appreciate any help i could get. Besides a cardiologist and neurologist i have also seen a ENT doctor. Looking foward to some thoughts.. Thanks

the emt doctor should be able to determine if you have
benign paroxysmal vertigo,
mine didn't' think I do, as turning my neck doesn't bring on the dizziness and rolling over in bed doesn't. she said it might be a balance problem, and having a joint replaced or having arthritis could cause that. she recommended balance therapy. also wanted a scan of the cartoid arteries.
also she removed hard wax from on my eardrums and that seemed to help.
good luck!

got bppv since a young age, never knew what 'it' was back then never saw a doctor for that since the dizziness triggered by certain positions or movements I just avoided it.. it comes & goes after a week or two thought it a normal things, got hits by it several times here and there but never like this.. now its freaking constant, & the fact I looked healthy on the outside just make it hard to explain sh*ts.. people be like "mehhhh, just man up!"

This sounds like a vestibular migraine. Also look up scm issues. It's a muscle in your neck that can be nasty. Find your SCM and give it a gentak squeeze. If you have a problem with it then it will hurt when you squeeze it

very interesting about the SCM muscle. I looked it up and found lots of info, including one on trigger points by "Dr Mary."

I saw the same article about SCM with Dr Mary and also found it
very interesting. The only thing i didn't like was they were
selling their own vitamins at the end of the article

Don't worry about what they are selling. Did you check your SCM to see if it hurts? There are trigger points that can help it. Look up SCM trigger points to learn more.

Yes it definitely hurts. My GP who is also my lifelong best friend was
telling me today he feels it's something a chiropractor or therapist should do because of the carotid artery being in the same area.
