Hello @grandmajeanie002. Dizziness or vertigo can be life altering for sure, especially when it is constant. I have a couple of reasons for mine and luckily these days it is not constant. What kind of diagnostics have you had? Have your doctors prescribed any medications for you? My sister was just diagnosed with these migraines and she is 67. At her doctor's suggestion she stopped one of her medications and a supplement she has taken for years. So far, no more episodes since then. When vertigo flares up I actually get the best relief from Dramamine. It makes me sleepy but also relieves much of the vertigo. Mine is due to a benign tumor on the vestibular nerve discovered on an MRI (Vestibular Schwannoma). I also have IPPV which can sometimes be relieved with positional changes called the Epley Maneuver.

I was diagnosed with a vestibular schwanoma and have dizziness and balance issues..recently been feeling strong pain behind my left ear on the side of the schwanoma, has anyone had this pain that lasts a minute or two
Thank you
