now this is my problem.

June 12, to 16 2014  

i am matured enough to search my sickness now on internet so i mention the anxiety nausea etc.

Most of the time from may to june i eat 2 kinds of foods broasted and kabsa a rice with food coloring and its very delicouis. then all started june 12 after eating lunch 12pm then on 3pm i feel like vomiting and i cannot swallow food until dinner but i just ignore it, then june 16 continue eating kabsa again now i feel like hard to breath and my left nose is like im having runny nose( its already 2 weeks the runny nose) still ignoring then dinner time again kabsa, then june 17 eat only burger 12pm lunch time after 30 min i feel of shortness of breath, dizzy, and my both ears are burning and turn red, i feel of going to hospital, but then a few hours backing to normal then ignoring again. then days continue still eating chicken and kabsa then on june 21 eating kabsa dinner time 7pm after 2 to 3 hours i feel scratchy both arm and feet feel dizzy and hard to breath same June 17 i want to go hospital again but already evening nobody will take me. June 22 i start searching my sickness then i go to doctor afternoon and blood test blood is normal and they found out i have allergy and 1 desease on my left nose he gave me Prednisolone and Avamys nasal spray for the nose he said i have no asthma. days past for 1 week i feel little comfortable with my left nose, allergy seems to be curing little by little but still there every time i scartch on my bot arms. my hard to breath i think little cure also but still there somtimes.

now again i feel that my old deasease is coming back maybe because of my fears(phobia maybe) anxiety, nausea, Labyrinthitis or maybe because of my allergy i dont know. ikeep on searching my sickness and reading whole day. 

this is my sympthoms.

when i wake up in the morning i feel hard to breath, loosing of fatigue, is like im going to collapse but if i walk i feel normal than staying in one place (should i walk everytime?), redness of ears right or left sometimes both on certain times, some scartchy allergy still appears, vertigo or dizzy, i feel moddy and afraid on certain things cannot explain well this, and in office whole day not comfortable i think a lot of this, i feel somthing strange on my throat liquid or plems and in my left nose but dont have cold at all.

Hi fellow sufferer.

I have been dealing with the same symptoms. 

I find the BPPV exercise helps..

You tube is good for looking up this problem too.

I was told it came from whiplash. 

Mostly because I was having trouble lying back.

the spinning was scary.

I now take xanax for the fear. It's helping. 

I thought it was a sinus infection WRONG. 

I find walking reduces stress.

Your friend in San Francisco. 

Have you tried BPPV exercise. 

There are a few for whiplash injuries. 

Stop s the general spinning.

Hello, being sick is not nice, especially when you have nausea and vomiting, I read about medicines that gives some relief, but with negative side effects, I have had episodes of dizziness and the only thing that has helped me is my mind, when I start with an episode of dizziness, mentally and with all my strength, I place before the feeling of being well in the place of discomfort, I've noticed that with some effort I learned to do this with less effort, the results have been satisfactory to the point of being able to remove the symptoms of dizziness and stomach, remember that the pharmaceutical industry uses the placebo factor to test the efficacy of new drugs, scientists know the power of mental interaction, use your faith for the benefit of your health! With all your heart and with all your mind keeps the feel-good against discomfort. God bless you!

I have had the same symptoms for the last 3 weeks along with the anxiety just wondering if you have found out anything ?

Hi there. This is my first time posting. I was diagnosis with VN back in May. My first attack started though back in October of 2013.  My doctor did some tests and said it was labrythitis. She said that will take about 8-10 weeks for symptoms to subside. So during that time I couldn't  even think about driving. It was hard enough just to get up and walk anywhere in my house without the sensation of falling over. My vision was on and off fuzzy, but that cleared up thank goodness after about a month. My concentration was terrible. I was exhausted all the time.I felt totally messed up. But then about December it felt like this laybrithitis was going away. I was feeling very good. So I decided to go back to work in January. I lasted 2 weeks and then it all came back, not as bad but still not enough to continue with working. At this point I could manage going to get groceries and doing chores around the house. Although I was limited too. I was still very tired. I went back to my doctors where she then thought let's get a MRI done. That came back clear. So finally after 8 long months of this annoying dizziness and all the other horrible symptoms that go along with this disorder she sent me to an ENT. There I was told in one hour what was wrong with me, vestibular neuritis. He sent me to a vestibular physio therapist. She gave me exercises that, yes are weird, but they do work. 

Now it's July and I am 3 weeks into work. Not working finacial was stressing me out and that does not help with the healing process. I know anxiety plays a big role in VN. Like I said I'm 3 weeks into it and am having difficulties with my balance again. I work in the kitchen where everything is time sensitive. I can somewhat keep up, but am having difficulties. I am just wondering if anyone has gone back to work and has any problems or symptoms that have occurred again. If so does it eventually subsided or go away all together or is this something you learn to live with?

Hi.I too have been suffering with dizziness/vertigo for 6 months now and have been diagnosed by my GP with vestibular neuritis.I have had good days and even good weeks where I am dizzy but can cope with everyday things.The past 3 days have been hell to be honest and I have spent a lot of time when I can sit up long enough looking for help on the net.I am seeking help and thinking of going to a private hospital for a second opinion and maybe seek treatment.Thing is many long term sufferers I have spoken with on the net say that exercises and treatment are a waste of time and money.This is because they say the inner ear is damaged and will not repair itself.They do say that keeping busy and moving about on a good day in time will train the brain and opposite ear to conpensate and become stronger making the condition better and easier to live with over time.

I hope your condition has gone away or at least got a lot better for you and life is good.

Jason.

Hi all

I have just come across this and i have had Vertigo since the beginning of January, I have an appointment this coming week the ENT , Ihave never ever felt sick but then i am never ever sick at anything,  I havesuffered the anxiety attacks and wanted to get out the supermarket and sit in the car and cry.  This is so unlike me i feel that i dont want to be out for long whereas i used to love browsing and shopping thrughout shops.  When i first got it i didnt realise it was  vertigo until i went to the docs where i was given some tablets to stop the dizziness and the doc said oh we have a lot of people with vertigo at the moment ( great help )  I went back again and had the Eply manoevre done twice which boy oh boy , was the weirdest feeling ever, well 7/8 months on i still have it, oh i did see a consultant at the local hospital who did a hearing test and said it was normal he held my fingers and pulled and also said it was normal.  I feel fine and normal when sitting and forget i have this condition till i get up to move like when i am at work and go to the loo then i feel like its the top and back of my head wobbling, i feel if i could hold my head and walk everything would be normal, i get annoyed and it does upset me and i just want to be back to normal.  Well just taking some noted from the above answers as to what to ask for at the hospital on Wednesday, i will be going to the Derby Royal hope i get some answers as it does get me down and have stopped going walking like we used to at weekends as i feel i cannot do it i feel so uncomfortable.   any more advice and help please
