Does anyone else find dizziness/vertigo provoked by open spaces?. I had a bad time 3 years ago with dizziness/vertigo - was ill for 7 months, off work for 4 of them. Had all manner of investigations which excluded my heart, brain or ears as the cause. Only possiblility neither proved nor disproved was migraine associated vertigo, but I couldn't understand why it happened all the time. Eventually was ok, don't know what helped, but persisted with very occasional problems in open spaces, which I kind of worked around. Had recurrence about 6 weeks ago and now get really panicky when approaching open spaces, which doesn't help. Taking amitriptylene as migraine prevention which makes me very tired. Anyone had anything similar?

Personally I haven't had that issue in the past. Now with this recent Vertigo spell, I go into a large store and my eyes kind of freak on me. But i just take a breather and then all is well again.

1. Focus on one spot and then move your eyes as quickly as you can back and forth
2. Focus on one spot BUT move your head side to side as quickly as you can with your eyes still focusing on that one spot.
I have to do them up to 5 times a day for up to 1 minute.

The Koch videos on Youtube are really good, though.
