Hi cmg,

I still eat chocolate, only in modern amounts- but keeping a food diary may help you discover what your triggers are? I don't consume alcohol because it causes migraines, and I can't digest it well. It does take a couple of weeks of eliminating foods to see any countable differences, if there are any. If I start to get ringing in my ears, I look to the Weatherx migraine app; and surely enough, the barometric pressure is either rising or dropping. That's when I insert the earplugs for two to four hours, depending on my symptoms.
Taking a pill? Instead, I reach for the WeatherX earplugs, that help to moderate the barometric pressure changes slowly. Also, it makes sense that it could be possible and probably is due to your concussion.

It took me about a year to fully recover from mine. I did notice that I had the vertigo problems after my concussion, and that's when I discovered the WeatherX earplugs. If you could track the barometric pressure, there might be a correlation between that and your vertigo? If and when you decide to get the earplugs, they also have a free app and an alert system that will let you know when to put the earplugs in. These earplugs are good in helping to alleviate migraines, (for me), or else greatly reduced them, and it has helped me tremendously with vertigo. If I should feel any type of vertigo, I will put the earplugs in for 3 hours . They are under $20, it's worth a try! I rarely get vertigo at this point and manage it by also drinking a little extra water.

Hoping for the best for you, please keep in touch!
