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.

Hi @migraineelaine,
Sorry to hear you are also experiencing PPPD. My husband just had 2 more bilateral strokes (his 6th and 7th), on May 1st, and another heart attack, on August 12th, so he now is rarely “moving” but still has the 3PD. He was pushing through the dizziness and nausea, doing daily calisthenics and weights, until his laminectomy surgery, fall of 2024. Unfortunately, he never found any exercises that didn’t induce the dizziness. He just pushed through, “ his/our Isshinryu “mind over matter” perspective after 40 years in martial arts.
