Do you really think the change in diet and reduced your symptoms? Who recommended the changes? I am looking for some medical help to get at the root cause of my problem and some reasonable things to try.
I'm with you and you're not alone and surely not crazy. In fact, it's really in our head when one feels dizzy:) Staying hydrated and eating well helps. Stress is surely another factor and I manage it via yoga/meditation/or whatever makes me laugh.
In my case, the typical med for vertigo doesn't work. Two doctors said what I've is BPPV (Benign paroxysmal positional vertigo) and one referred me to physical therapy which has a long wait in my area/network. Took up the challenge to search on the web what's available while I'm still dizzy/feel like vomiting constantly. (Looking at a rolling screen; monitor or cell phone, makes me feel more dizzy) I landed in a chiropractic care that has one doctor who specializes in neuro. After a comprehensive exam, it's confirmed not BPPV (no response to the epley maneuver at all, ear is fine, nothing stands out that will trigger the spinning sensation) The diagnosis is PPPD (Persistent Postural-Perceptual Dizziness)
Going through chiro/neuro therapy and also keeping up on a healthy diet/walking routines. Getting better as day goes.
We will get well and recover from Covid-19.
I have to commend you for your perseverance. That is a lot of testing and trials. I too have been dealing with dizziness since COVID in Nov. 2020 and can't walk well or far. I can't walk without the assistance of a cane or walker. I thought it was my perpetual lower back pain and have been getting treated for that. The treatment has reduced the pain, but my balance is no better. I am out of options for medical help in my area. That is why I have started following this web site closely to see where others have gone for help. I find that I haven't even begun to find the help I need, so I appreciate your description of dietary changes and supplements . Do you think the diet changes have helped really?? I am not a believer in that approach, but can have my mind changed by those that have experienced success. What doctors or medical disciplines have you been most happy with??
Thanks
