I've been battling with vertigo symptoms for over a year now. I've been almost symptom free for 5 months now until 3 weeks ago. I dont know what triggered it but my symptoms are back. I have a constant feeling of floating and falling and like I'm intoxicated. This occurs when I'm moving or static. I am also sensitive to noise and bright lights.I have see every specialist and therapist under the sun. I've had an MRI, CT scan seen an audiologist, Naturopath, GP, ENT (2), Vestibular Physio, chiro, etc. I am a 45 year old female living in British Columbia who is normally high functioning. I do have some work stress but its manageable. I was put on a medication for vertigo briefly but it made my nauseous (I can't recall the name). It didn't seem to work anyways. I'm feeling hopeless and getting depressed. any insight would be greatly appreciated.
