Hi Chester,
Sorry you are experiencing this. My husband has experienced this daily since the summer of 2021 when he had two cerebellar strokes. After more MRIs and other imaging, his neurologist talked to us about PERSISTENT POSTURAL-PERCEPTUAL DIZZINESS, aka “3PD.” His symptoms are motion, fatigue, and stimuli induced, so exercising, just standing up, moving his head while driving, etc. make things worse. Initially Meclazine helps, but it is known to later exacerbate the symptoms.

Elisa, I just came across your post. I've been diagnosed with PPPD and Vestibular Migraine. I've failed all of the usual Rx and now rely on Propranolol for prevention of full blown migraine HA and Reyvow for abortive. I also use meclizine for nausea. I have been dizzy since January of 2020. Has your husband figured out how to do any exercise on a routine basis? I have very little leg strength. Can't walk for more than 10 minutes w/o triggering severe dizziness. Recumbent bike-nope. Leg weight press--nope due to severe knee pain. Hatha yoga--yes to a degree but not as a routine due to so many migraines. Sorry for the dump of my struggles. Just feeling very discouraged today with seasonal changes and triggers. thanks for listening.
