Thank You Dr Paul for your response. On my MRI they found cerical disc 5-6 and 6-7 herniated. I have been trying to tell my Dr it could be a circulation issue to the brain as I have low BP. He disagrees....but when I wera a neck brace the dizziness and ear pressure goes away? He said the cervical discs could have been there for a while...but this all started when my neighbour rear-ended me?
Can this be the cause???

Hi there.
A normal CT scan and a normal MRI tells us that there may be nothing anatomically wrong with the vestibular system, and if it is neuritis it should have showed up on these scans. There are some causes of vertigo that are indeed idiopathic (meaning, the exact cause cannot be determined). Other possible causes include micronutrient deficiency (such as vitamin B12 and other B vitamins) which can cause some form of neuropathy. Another is problems in the cerebellum (the part of the brain that controls balance and fine movements), but this would also have shown up on brain MRI. I suggest you discuss these other possibilities with your doctors/neurologist. I hope you and your doctors can get to the bottom of this soon.
Wishing for the best. Regards.
