I would love to hear Dr Drew’s story about his dizziness journey.
My dizziness came on suddenly and eventually I was diagnosed with residual dizziness from bppv. I went to vestibular pt for 2 months. I had a couple brief time periods where the dizziness went away but it came back. About 7 months I woke up one morning with weird stiffness in my next. I did heat and ibuprofen for a week and it improved. But ever since then I have the urge to adjust my neck all day. After almost a year of dizziness I finally went to a neurologist who agreed we didn’t feel this was bppv. My dizziness was never spinning rather it was more a feeling of being off balance or lightheaded. The neurologist recommended pt for my neck and anti depressant/anxiety low dose. By week:, my dizziness subsided. I felt amazing. It went away and I felt myself for the first time in a year. By the 3rd month it came back a little so the doctor upped my dose and I’m in week 4 and doing better. My neck still. Feels tight and I still feel the need to adjust it al lot. Should I get imaging to find out if my dizziness is coming from my neck?
Dr Madison- I’m in your program and have not seen the 6 week neck program you mentioned. Where can I find it?
