Vestibular migraines

Thank you! She has me on lyrica and has increased the dosage from 25 mg to 50- I guess we’ll see if that helps at all.

Hello @alc69. Sorry to hear of this constant dizziness as that is hard to live with. If I was having intermittent dizzy spells as in migraines that had progressed to constant symptoms, I would be concerned about progression of a disease process and look for more diagnostics, not just addressing the symptom of dizziness with medication. Just knowing how it took 4 months for my head and neck cancer to finally show up on various diagnostic tests despite constant pain, I know how important it is to continue to pursue a cause. For me that meant seeing 3 different ENTs and finally requesting a referral to a large medical center out of town. Be persistent. You are your own best advocate for your health care. Just by joining Mayo Connect and looking for answers here you are showing the initiative to manage your health care. Good luck.

I’ve been seriously dizzy and lightheaded for over 2 years with limited relief from the current drugs, Nortrypline and clonazepam. The fatigue as a side effect is debilitating and I just keep getting worse. Approximately 35% of the time I am in bed all day since I’m too unsteady to walk far. I do all the vestibular exercises, eat well and drink electrolytes and water and I’m just going downhill. It was diagnosed 22 months ago as a vestibular migraine and told it shouldn’t last long . Alas, it is and I’m declining. Anyone have any ideas?

thx- it just gets worse and the drugs have so many side effects

@grandmajeanie002 - how are things going with your dizziness?
