About 3 years ago I had a stroke in my frontal lobe. It affected my language center. I've recently had severe dizziness and had a CT and MRI to determine if I had another stroke. There's no awareness of another stroke. However, the MRI mentions encephalomalacia is present where the past stroke occurred. In reading about encephalomalacia it appears that dizziness and vertigo could result from the condition. Has anyone else had dizziness or vertigo after having a stroke? My ER doctor didn't know what caused my vertigo. Wayne

@waynen After seeing a number of doctors and didn't find a solution. I did a search on dizziness and headaches, I came up with vestibular migraines that includes dizziness and vertigo. My doctor said it could be but there aren't any medical tests to diagnose it. You have to go by symptoms. There are triggers that can cause it, including caffeine, alcohol, stress, and signals from C1 and C2 vertebrae. My understanding is electrical charges are sent to vestibular causing the inner ear becomes disoriented. Haven't had dizziness nor vertigo since April, but miss my coffee in the morning.
