What could be causing this dizziness?

Im headed into my third week now.. it really is a horrible way to live, im going to get my blood test results this wednesday as well, and then ill ask my doctor to refer to me to an ENT, hopefully they can figure something outf or me

Def sounds inner ear related. I'm a lot better than I was but it's a long recovery for some, but totally possible. Hang in there

Yeah, an inner ear problem makes sense. Sometimes I would feel extreme pressure inside my ears, and also felt like my ear wax was moving one time as I was moving my head around in bed. Have you been professionally diagnosed with an inner ear problem as well? If so, what are the treatments for this?

I'm finally In the process of seeing an ENT. But Iv done a lot of my own research and also I'm on a few support pages. Vestibular therapy is what u will need. There is some on you tube (home vestibular exercises)

Oh man, they're going to put me through therapy? Like doing simple tasks that I should normally be able to do? Im only 21! Don't they just put me on some meds to get things back in order and im good to go?

Sadly no. If there was a simple fix like meds we would all be 100%. I'm 28 so I totally know how u feel. Look up the therapy online. It's not hard, it's like eye and head movements. Ur brain basically needs re training. But it's a good thing! It will help in ur recovery. I swear if I had started earlier I'd be better by now. Walking is also a good one.

So if they're just going to make me do excersies, should I just save myself the money and the trip and follow the YouTube videos? I def feel like walking is a good one, I feel at my best when im active, it really only kicks in when im sitting down. Im normally at the gym, or running, so when im active as well, I really dont feel it till I settle down. Anyways, it sounds horrible to say, but I feel better knowing im not alone as someone in their 20s with this annoying problem. I hope you're getting and feeling better Thanks for the advice!

Hi Kurt

My first episode started Dec. Of last year and they put me in every medication you can think of including steroids and nothing helped. In Sept of this year I got worse and made trips to E. R. I at least 3 trips a week to see my end.

I am 63 years old and was never sensitive to any medication. But everything they gave me made me feel worse as well as any antidepressants.

Because of all the great info I have received from people on this website I requested physical therapy and since my visits I Am having a normal life again.

I stopped all the medication and am only doing my exercises.

All my symptoms were because of my inner ear from having sinus infections all my adult life.

Stay positive you will get better. ☺

U could start the exercises now at home but I'd still see the ENT as the exercises can be tailored to suit ur needs better :-) I find the ones online too easy now so I'm at a stand still!

Hi melody they said it's not my ears not my eyes what causing the problem i feel off balance to my left and flicker in my left eye l feel like lm walking on a trampoline. I tried the exercises when i look up and down i feel like lm moveing when i shut my eyes i keep being pull to the left my body goes crazy

Could be mal de barquement syndrome?

Thanks for getting back in touch. How did yours start

I think I have either VN or labs. I woke up with the room spinning on April 7. That subsided and left me with dizziness and nausea plus imbalance feelings.

Hi Angie,

Could you share the name of the exercises you're doing? 

And did you have any ear issues before you got diagnosed with sinus infections?

Thanks!
