Vertigo from Arikayce?

I apologize, I should have updated my post earlier especially for anyone concerned about side effects. I did have the testing done and was told that the vertigo was caused by displaced crystals in my ears and not the Arikayce. I went back on the Arikayce daily and have not had another episode. I still question the reason, however as I had only the one episode. They asked me to come back for exercises to reposition the crystals which I declined since it had passed and there was no reoccurrence. Thank you all for your input.

@mjb24 Has anyone checked your hearing.? Sometimes They are related to each other. I am a speech pathologist who is just starting arikayce and am concerned more about hearing Although they indicate hearing loss is greater with IV amikacin. Definitely check with an ENT

Hope this helps

@mjb24 BPPV usually resolves on its own or try the Epley maneuver.
