Husband's lightheadedness

Posted by julianned @julianned, 15 hours ago

Hi everyone,

My husband has been experiencing lightheadedness, which he describes as feeling like he is on a boat, for several months. He describes the feeling in a certain spot in the lower back of his head. He is not in pain and really does not have other symptoms. His MRI was normal, and he has seen an ENT and neurologist and no one can pin point it. At first we thought it was vertigo or something to do with his ear crystals, but the ENT did not think so. He has been going to PT in case it was an inner ear issue, but nothing seems to help. His bloodwork has all been normal and basic vitals fine. Any thoughts on next steps would be wonderful!

I'm sorry your husband is having this issue with lightheadedness! That must be awful for him. It sounds like you are seeing the right doctors etc. but with no real results. Have you seen your regular primary care doctor? Sometimes they come up with helpful suggestions that the specialists miss. Since vitals and everything seem normal possibly a chiropractor could help or at least put something back into place that might be causing this.

Also you could just put everything in God's hands. Prayer works! God made your husband and he can fix him! I'll say a prayer for him too.
I wish you the best.
