I have had all sorts of tests and all the tests came back okay. The test that I have taken where a lumbar puncture, the heart Holter monitor for 24 hours, EKG, brain wave scan, CT scans, ear tests, the cardiac test that makes your heart rate go extremely high to see if you have heart issues. I don't know what to do I've been to physical therapy at some point it worked a little but it doesn't do anything to make it go away. We've done multiple upon multiple techniques I'm having issues with balance and depression. The vertigo is really bad and I need help to find out what's wrong. It's got to be someone out there that has it like this or worse that knows what to do. I'm on medical leave because I can't even drive to my job and I manage a restaurant. Thank you ahead of time to people so reply and help me and thank you again.

    I'm awaiting a apt for a mri I had to give up smoking after 20 years of being a smoker a very good thing one good thing came out of all of this smoking made me nearly pass out it was that and mine come all of a sudden woke up one morning and it was there and hasn't gone since I agree a healthy diet does help with my symptoms if I have sugar or high fatty food my symptoms are a lot worse no one knows what is causing my symptoms they say my ears are clear so not the ear I also get neck pressure and it also feels achy a lot so I wondering if this is linked I also have all the symptoms of MS I'm preying it isn't that sad

      Carla - look into self massages you can do...I get the neck pain horribly and I have been doing self massage/stretch ( for the neck pressure/pain ... and it works amazing for me) - I just make sure its vertigo related stretches.  I also do jaw and tongue ones and clearing of the lymphatic system.  I am praying for you too! If it is MS at least there is a lot more info than back in the day and they have connected the gut with MS.  Someone told me the other day there is no way you have MS you would be in a wheelchair....like really!!!!  I thought I ate healthy before too...but when I really looked at what I was eating I was wrong...my new doctor said no dairy gluten/wheat!  I am kinda doing keto..but looking at some new diets that are similar.  I think this whole experience is a process of elimination and daily reminders to be gently with yourself....let your body try to heal...and that takes time! We are so use to getting everything fast and now...and it doesn't work this way for this. big hugs to everyone...remember you are not alone! lots of people laying on couch spinning or rocking on a boat.

    Hiya, sorry to hear about your battle with vertigo. I too have had a long problem with it, I’ve been experiencing vertigo since the 20th of February 2017, so a good while now! I went to a balance specialist and have gone through three different diagnoses, but they seem fairly confident now it’s a migraine issue. I’d encourage you to look down the same route, apparently migraines, although usually accompanied by a severe headache, aren’t always. According to my specialist, you can get a migraine that causes awful vertigo and nausea without the headache. Have you had your blood tested, sometimes iron or B12 deficiencies can make people feel very dizzy. Over time mine has improved, it did take a good six months but I did feel my balance begin to recover little by little. I’m not better yet, but it’s certainly impacting my daily life less, so if nothing else I hope this reassures you. I wish you all the best, just keep at it until you find your cure.
