I'm sorry to hear about your struggles and hope that as research continues there will be some answers for all of us! You're not alone, so many dealing with varying issues and timelines. I've seen ENT and Cardiologist with Normal results and no explanation of the root cause of my dizziness. PT was the most helpful in improving symptoms, but I'm out of covered visits and still not back to my pre-covid normal after 5 months. My primary doctor is supportive but not sure how to help mostly, and in the meantime we're trying to treat anything we CAN identify and hope it makes some difference overall. I've seen some progress and try to remind myself to be thankful for anything, but it's not always easy to stay positive. Hang in there.

This very similar to my situation with ENT and PT. Cardiologist referred me to neurologist to role out peripheral neuropathy. In fact I was diagnosed with motor-sensory poly peripheral neuropathy. I’m not sure I understand the dizziness and unsteadiness mechanism but I think maybe because proprioception. An early PT worked on balance, but more so on strength, her rationale being (I think) if I could improve my legs and core strength, I will be more likely to catch myself and reduce my falling if/during my dizzy periods. I’m a 69 yo dentist and travel internationally on a monthly basis in medical teams treating refugees and indigent. I have described walking as if I were wearing ice skates.
