Just trying to be helpful here but I had all day dizziness for a year and my ear, nose and throat doc diagnosed me with PPPD. It may go by different names where you are from but research this and see if it fits your symptoms. It last for a long time but does get better with eye exercises. Good Luck. I wish you well.

Hi @missybelle, Welcome to Connect. Thank you for sharing your diagnosis and what helped. I found some information on the condition for other members who may not know about it.

-- Persistent postural-perceptual dizziness (PPPD): a common, characteristic and treatable cause of chronic dizziness: https://pn.bmj.com/content/18/1/5.long

Do you mind sharing a little more about the eye exercises that helped with the PPPD?

Dizziness is almost always present, so it’s similar to PPPD. The pressure makes it feel like I’m off balance rather than room spinning, but a year ago I did have sensations to a spinning room. I haven’t been referred to an ENT doctor since they think it’s neurological.

Aside from that, nerves in my wrists, forearm, and upper arm have begun to sting a bit more recently. Over these 2 years it’s mostly been guesses and pain management for general vertigo and headaches. What I have sounds progressive and I still have no idea what it is unfortunately 🙁
