Dizziness

I'm in NYC. Have seen seven well-respected ENTs (at NYU, Mt. Sinai, Columbia) for what I call my "syndrome" -- congestion, PND, dizziness, sometimes yellow mucus, muffled hearing, tinnitus, body aches, fatigue. I've had a balloon procedure and an antrostomy. Not cured. Not one doc is a "Dr. House" interested in possibly connecting the dots. They ascribe the dizziness to Long Covid. Might make sense were it not for the fact that the syndrome dates back to at least 2019. My dizziness, like some of yours, isn't vertigo. And sometimes it comes with a depression that isn't typical for me. I'm fed up, disgusted, and angry. Yes, I realize that these issues (like back issues) are tricky to diagnose. But nobody's even interested in trying.

@shashig you are going through the medical run around that unfortunately happens to many of us.
My experience with going from doctor to doctor is their egos.

Back to the topic. I would have your Vestibular System checked. The Vestibular system controls your balance, and it is part of the ears & eyes.
I had physical therapy for Vestibular Neuritis.
The diagnosis was made by an ENT who specializes in the ear. They are Otologist/neurotologist.

Depression can be caused by the frustration you’re experiencing, and you have a lot to be frustrated about.

I hope you find answers soon.
Blessings

@shashig
Yu need to find a clinic that specializes in vestibular disorders.
