Wow where do i start..................it all began about 6 weeks ago driving early one morning and had a violent dizzy spell so bad had to stop the car.
Anyway drove home and just felt muzzy headed all day after that so went docs on wednesday he said it sounds like labyrinthitis to me anyhow cut a long story short went private after having another violent dizzy spell where i felt like i was being swung around by my ankles where he diagnosed bppv..... done epley manouvre but no change had MRI scan all clear went to hospital again last week another doc says bppv aswell.
But i cant sem to make them realise i just feel really foggy and probably light headed in mornings untill about midday when it seems easier feels like real heavy head cold where your head just feels completely bunged up but with lightheadedness thrown in aswell.
some days feel about 95% next day feel bloody awful and its starting to make me depressed now as there seems no end in sight!!

BPPV can caused by an ear infection. BPPV can be also be caused by crystals in the ears coming out of position. The epley repositions the crystals.
I've had both of these before. I can understand it is making you feel down may be anxious too. As dizziness would often come with anxiety.
Meditation has really helped me and I was a sceptic too at first. But it helps reduce anxiety, stress and is calming. You can find free guided meditations to listen to online. There are free Mindful guided meditations if you websearch UCLA and free guided meditations. UCLA is University of California, Los Angeles.

When they peform the Epley manouvre it brings on the dizziness but nothing like the room spinning attacks that ive had prevoius .
Plus ive always suffered wiv bppv if i place my head in a certain position for years but its not often you are required to go upside down is it?? hahaha!!!

steve i've been diagnosed with bppv. Went to be bed one night with no problems woke next day turned over in bed and the room turned with me. Got out of bed and crashed to the floor. They would have checked your eyes for nystagmus(rhythmical eye movements) when they did the Epley which is part of the diagnosis i understand. Hope you recoversoon but it could take longer than a few weeks which was my initial hope.
