Experiencing Extreme dizziness & Vertigo?!

Posted by harleygz @harleygz, Jan 22, 2024

What else can it be besides Inner Ear (Fluid) off setting these episodes. Once they onset the episodes can last from 2-5 Hours. Trending patterns 3 days on 2 days off since, 1/10/24.
Please I Need Helpful advice or different options. I have been to ER after hours clinic as well as my PCP.
I’ve have been prescribed to Nausea and Vertigo medications, since 1/11/24. The episodes have yet to stop. I can’t work nor comfortable driving.

Thank you so much for the responses, however since I posted all this I discovered the culprit. The Eliquis was causing the issues. I was switched from years of being on Warfarin to Eliquis "cause it was easier to manage and didn't have to have labs every month." Sometimes "easy" is not the answer. Found a 2023 and about 8 case studies reflecting just what I was going through. Spoke with the Pulmo, we discontinued the Eliquis, wen back on the Warfarin and I haven't been dizzy or had vertigo since. Lost 8 months of my life and ability to be active, mobile, work-out playing patty-cake with ENT and neuro!

My cervical vertigo was fixed with a C23 Facet nerve block then ablation, I am so happy to not be sick anymore!
You can't see facets in your normal x-ray, it was finally diagnosed with a 6 view Flexion x-ray.
My son just got diagnosed with semicircular dehiscence. An Inner ear canal issue. He has found limiting sodium, alcohol has helped tremendously on the vertigo symptoms
Semicircular Canal Dehiscence (SSCD), also called Superior Canal Dehiscence Syndrome (SCDS), is a condition caused by a hole or opening in the bone overlying the superior semicircular canal. The compromised bone allows endolymph in the superior semicircular canal to move in response to sound or pressure stimuli.

@lauracox12 hi not sure if your still on here. But I’ve been diagnosed with scds also but I have to get surgery I constantly feel like I’m underwater and really sensitive to sounds. Is there any other solution besides surgery do u know ? Does your son have these symptoms ? Thanks

@jostrowski74 my problem was finally determined as bilateral occipital neuralgia. Im not sure what scd is or what kind of surgery you are getting. Neck, I have 3 fusions and spinal cord stimulator.
