reply to hinkida: Never listen to such stupid advice!!! I was told to quit my "silly" job, take Valium, stay in bed. Fortunately, I didn't do any of that! I needed the income as my daughter was attending an expensive private college, I'm actually allergic to Valium, and staying in bed, coupled with the real problem (low hormone levels) would have made an invalid of me due to osteoporosis. You need to see a vestibular rehab specialist, and do the exercises every stinking day...for the rest of your life. They're easy, often can be coupled with normal daily activities, and will make a real difference. Basically, you learn to use your third balance system (proprioception). I've lost all balance function in one ear and the other is compromised, but at 78 I still do very difficult instream data collection for our state fisheries agency...in a stream more than an hour from any cell reception, entirely by myself, hiking and wading miles. I also distribute food for both Covid relief and fire relief almost every day, often working many hours doing lifting, picking items off shelves to pack boxes (lots of movement and bending, reaching, turning). You CAN live a normal life!
