Constant Dizziness

I have been suffering from dizziness for the past 2 months. I am a 27 year old male. It is a feeling of unsteadiness and things are always moving like the walls, grounds or objects as if you're on a boat. I've had this a year ago which lasted for 2 weeks and went away naturally. Excatly a year later it came back and it's been 2 months of constant non-stop dizziness.

Does anybody out there know if there is a cure to this? I've seen doctors of all kinds without much explaination to the causes of this problem. Please if you know anything that can help relieve the symptom or more important correct the problem I would love to hear from you.

I will even travel and send you a Christmas gift if you can direct me to someone who can help. This problem has ruined my life and now I can't do anything but sleep in bed and close my eyes. Any help would be so greatly appreciated.

Im jumping in this post late, but I have been dizzy for the past 5 days, non stop. Even when Im asleep, it wakes me. I have started to have minor headaches with it. My eyes feel fine. I do wear glasses. I moved to a new state 6 months ago and have had constant sinus trouble. I now have dry mouth and dry eyes. No medication. I do not have diabetes, I was tested less than a month ago. I also have these hard cyst like bumps under my skin on my left and right foot, also a  large bump on my right shin. I ONLY drink water, probably too much. 2 or 3 64oz bottles a day. I have swelling from retaining water. If I sit up I am dizzy, lay down dizzy, I have almost no balance when I try to walk. I was told 10 years ago I had positional vertigo, but when that hit me, it only lasted for about an hour and it was rare that I would have it. Maybe once or twice a year.  If anyone has an advice, other than go see a doctor, I would appreciate it. The doctors in this town are crap. Im trying to get into seeing a professional.

Hi. This is ramesh here. I am suffering from dizziness from 3 years. Before 3 years I got the problem I went to the doctor he said it was bcoz of stress it caused the problem and gave me some medicine and I took that for 1 month. Later for 1 year I was OK without any problem. But after 1 year again it started when I was getting ready to go to office in morning. So I took gelusil tablet for gastric. It was very good pill for my dizziness problem. But now I am getting this problem everyday no pill is helping me out. I went to a ENT specialist and they checked and told me my right inner nerve is week. And my hearing loss in right ear is more. So they gave me tablets. I am using from one week. But I am getting the problem once in two days again and again. I am not able to sit in front of computer whole day. As I am a autocadd designer. Please give me some solution. Also alcohol tea coffee causes me this problem. So I left these habits but still no use.

Hello good day!

I am 22 years old and suffering the same way. I've had this feeling of dizziness that goes worse when walking just 3 weeks ago. It all started when I was at work, on a night shift and was very anxious that time because my nephew was ill. Suddenly, I experienced stiffness of my hands and feet and there I was manifesting symptoms of hypertension. My blood pressure was 150/100 and went back to normal a couple of minutes of after. I underwent series of labs and stuffs and everything was normal. I wasn't able to take the lipid profile you call it. I would like to ask if this dizziness is normally associated with hypertension. I take serc and it goes away temporarily. And one thing I have noticed is it gets worse during at night. Thanks for reading and I'll greatly appreciate your response.

Please click this link https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hq-IQWSrAtM and try to do  this exercise initially with the help of some one and would feel immediate relief and gradually Vertigo would be a history in a few days time.
I have been benefited from this 100% plus I took 3 drops of Conium 200 ( Homeopathic drops) in a half cup of water only once, yes just one doze and vertigo never returned. I repeated the same remedy on others too and results were perfect and startling. This remedy is for positional Vertigo and once all  other tests are negative.

Just to relieve others from sufferings I felt I would be failing in my part if I do not share my experience.

I have been dealing with vertigo since 9/13/2013 and it's now 7/2/2014. I have been through every test and doctor imaginable. I am currently going for physical therapy because the neurologist feels that the issue is within my neck.  The problem is that every time the therapist messages the left side of my neck at the base of my skull and behing my left ear, it hurts real bad and then I go from being just a little dizzy into a full blown room spinning, warm sensation all over my body and so thirsty that I can't get enough water. The only thing that helps a little bit is taking a .25 mg Xanax.  I can't drive on the highway and when the weather brings on higher pressure, it's worse. Any ideas ?

They are called otoliths. and they are found in the utricle and sacule. THe otoliths are for sensing vertical and horizontal acceleration. (Human Physiology student at the university of Oregon)

Another condition that can cause dizziness is the crystals.  There are two behind each ear.  If these crystals go out of balance, extreme dizziness is the result.  You may have to make several phone calls to see who deals with crystals in your area. The treatment is similar to a chiropractic adjustment, tho the physician needs to understands the crystals.  My friend that had his re-aligned, has not had dizziness return in over a year.  Hope this helps, and best of luck.

I really agree with your post. I have had Agoraphobia for over 40 years after find Dr. Debbie at www.vsofm.com and having prisms put into my glasses, my symptoms are gone. Yes it was that simple and yes you are right there are to my knowledge only two eye doctors in the country that know how to do this. One in California and Dr. Debbie in Michigan. You mentioned a third, I would love to know where the third one is. The answer is simple but how to get to Michigan or California is the problem. To get you life back to normal is very much worth the effort. I hope more people out there will believe it is this simple.

I experienced a HORRIBLE attack of Vertigo several years ago. Went to the ER and they referred me back to my PCP who prescribed Meclizine for the dizziness and nausea. All it did was make me feel tired. After 4 weeks with no improvement I was referred to a physica therapist who specializes in Vertigo. She was my savior! She showed me some simple maneuvers that helped get my vertigo under control. It didnt happen immediatlely but I could feel it getting better day by day. Eventually it went away totally (took about another 2 weeks) I still get attacks of vertigo but I am ale to control it with the maneuvers I was taught to do at home and if I catch it quick it goes away in a day or too. Hope this helps!

FINALLY!!! Someone took the words right out of my mouth!!! I have been experiencing the EXACT SAME THING for over a year now. I was also driving and had absolutely no warning that my episode was coming on. One second I felt normal and the next second I didn't. I have been mis-diagnosed, re-diagnosed, & un-diagnosed over and over again. I have been instructed not to drive by the docs and i am afraid to attempt to drive, but my husband is becoming inpatient with me because he is the primary caregiver to both myself & my mother in law, who suffers from alzheimer's. Do you have any suggestions for me about how to cope with this mystery illness that we have and any ideas on how to make life easier for ppl like us???

This is horrible!! After several visits to my doctor he thought it was labryinthitis (inner ear infection) but after referring me on to an ENT Specialist he ruled out it being anything to do with my ears, so the ent specialist has now referred me on to a nuerologist which i am seeing on the 5th of May. Ive been feeling extremely dizzy 24/7 for 4 months now aswell as my GLANDS in my neck being swollen. Also sometimes when i blink i see zig zagged white lines like lightening strikes. I haven't left the house proper because of it. I have had blood tests and they have come back all clear. Basically it has left me disabled. All i can do is lie down and walk round my house and on good days go in my back garden. I am only 18 years old, before this i went to the gym 3 times a week, played football almost everyday, went running, had a job (which i obviously haven't got anymore!) i can't beleive whats happened to me, i don't know what to do anymore!!!!!!!!! Replys much appreciated!

Any ideas yet?  Has it gotten better?  I'm 28 and started getting dizzy about 4 weeks ago.  Ive been to a slew of doctors, and my ENT thinks its a virus, as it had accompanied a chronic sore throat.  I am still dizzy and have made a list of like 25 things it could be.  I feel your pain.  It is awful, pure and simple.  You cant do anything well at least.  I would be curious to see how you are doing and see if anyone has any other ideas!  They've done all the BHBV or whatever it is tests and nothing!
