hi there

i hope i get a response as i am still struggling with symptoms since January.

I am wondering if anyone has suffered their vestibular/PPPD as a result of ptsd and other mental health issues? I have been feeling a sense of motion every day aggrivated by movement and its taken my life away. I have never had any issues with my ears previous to this or any virus, bug etc that could be the cause so I would really like to hear anyones experience. I feel like i am constantly swaying and some days are better then others.

i had some balance testing yesterday at the vestibular clinic and the last test was the one with the water pushed inside your ear and its made my symptoms out of control and i am so nauseas. All tests were normal and she diagnosed me with PPPD so now I am on a mission to find out as much info as possible. I have read that it can be caused by panic attacks but i would just like to hear from someone else who is living this. i constantly feel like i am moving its debilitating
