Gradual recoverer here! I’m in the relatively mild symptom camp, and it feels validating to hear you call that out - while I’m immensely grateful that I was never all that debilitated, the wins are very slow coming and can be disheartening when I hear people make huge improvements so quickly. I have to keep the bigger picture in mind-I am so, so much better than I was a year ago.
Same boat here! 10 months in and recovery has been all over the place. I'm grateful that my symptoms aren't severe but it really is difficult to gage how much progress I'm making when it's so slow and up and down
Yes, Erin. It took your body time to get to the place it was at and it may take some time to heal, but I am so glad that you are seeing progress! You are doing it!
Another very helpful video , I fall into the longer recovery and I am fine with that , thank you dr. Yo for all you do for us . I am referring you to a young friend who I had no idea she was suffering from this until about a week ago , she has tried just about everything and spent much money , I know your channel will help her and give her an instant sigh of relief just knowing she is safe and there are others that speak our language ❤
Thank you for you’re content! I’m really trying too heal. This has stolen my life I barely leave the house I’m not working I have no social life anymore. My difficulty is stoping my dizziness and extreme neck pain from running my life. I have a lot of anxiety because of these chronic symptoms but I’m gonna keep fighting! Thanks again for the work you do :) wish I had found you sooner but I’m glad I found you now! 🙏
I get it. I got really mad at neighbour last night. Sent a msg," you aré not so bad cuz you have me and another neighbour". I am in pain and not just drinking all my problema away like him. I had quit drinking anyway. 🥴🥴🥴
I've tried everything in your videos, and have not experienced success. The best I can do is three days of perhaps slight improvements then I'm back to square one. I've been dizzy 24/7 since a fall nearly 9 months ago. Every day is like living in hell. It's cost me my job, my finances, and any semblance of a quality of life. I have such a deep unrelenting yearning for my life back, but it isn't coming. I want to die every single day but sadly I keep waking up.
Hey there Jim! Idk if we have the exact same symptoms but I have a severe PPPD. I’ve been bed bound for quite a while till I found Dr. Yonit’s channel. At first I must confess my symptoms got kinda worse with the exercises. But I just kept pushing. It’s been more than a month and I can finally say I am improving! I still have many bad days where I find myself wondering if my recovery was fake, but the good days come, and they WILL come for you! God is with you, my friend. If you’re still alive, there’s still hope! I have PPPD for over a year I guess, and I’ve been 100% far from public places and inside my house for 6 months. Today I finally had a 5 min walk inside a supermarket! I NEVER thought that would happen. Please keep pushing, and if you wish, take all your worries to God 🙏🏻🥰
Oh Jim, this breaks my heart. I hope you see Beka’s comment below. Listen, there is a lot of advice in my videos but I give people WAY MORE tools than each person needs because everyone is different. The trick is finding the right combination for YOU. You didn’t mention taking the course- that is FREE and it organizes the videos in a way that makes sense thesteadycoach.com/free-course .

Please Jim… stay hopeful! We all experience setbacks in life , but I truly believe it’s to set us up for our breakthrough. I too had an injury where I fractured my humerus and had a mild concussion due to falling out of a moving golf cart. That was nine months ago, and I was so depressed for awhile wondering if I would ever return to my former active self again. But I was determined to get better and willed myself to try and stay positive, day by day. I am now feeling better, not 100% yet, but by God’s grace , and taking it day by day. I mainly feel off balance and slight dizziness when I’m walking. I can exercise, play golf again, dance,drive and do my daily routines without much discomfort. It sure is so much better than the way I felt 9 months ago. I truly believe that I will be healed completely because I have faith that God is helping me get stronger daily. I also take brain supplements, anti inflammatory herbs, try to eat as healthy as I can, and get more rest. I pray that all my fellow friends here stay hopeful. Thank you too to Dr Yonit for being caring and a wealth of information. Blessings everyone 🙏🏻💙🙏🏻

I am Spanish and I am writing to you from Europe -english is not my native language. I want to express my gratitude here to you...for all your videos of professional guidance on this problem that has been affecting me for a year and a half. All the points you make are very well analyzed and you show an empathy rarely seen, thank you very much!
I am finding all your videos so helpful and am hopeful about my recovery… however I am experiencing something that is a bit discouraging… I woke up the other day with no dizziness (yay!) and was so happy about it but I was subconsciously thinking “ is it gone?” …”where is it?” and then by the afternoon sure enough I started experiencing some dizziness again. I almost feel that I summoned it back! Any tips for dealing with this? I don’t want to get in my own way when things are going well but not sure how not to think about it.
I know that this can be frustrating, but it sounds like you are on the right track. Ups and downs are a completely normal part of recovery and you will find that you will not be checking as much as you start to have more good days. Do not get discouraged. You got this!

Nacebo is the main cause why my recovery may be stuck.

I will really not check anyone on social media from now. Glad I found you.😊
Hi I fell into that trap of following those pages made everything so much worse I had symptoms I never had before they are not a good idea at all my whole mindset changed once I stopped following them
Wearing glasses is so difficult. I only needed reading glasses before but now I'm older I need multifocal but it is a complete nightmare. I'm taking the glasses on and off constantly. My eyes never seem to be the same day to day or even hour to hour. I have seen numerous optometrists and an ophthalmologist. My eyesight apparently isn't that bad for my age but one of the optometrists and the ophthalmologist both told me that multifocals can be difficult for many people and particularly difficult for people with vestibular issues. They both have patients that have to wear various one strength glasses around their necks. I can't imagine having to swap glasses all day long, it's bad enough taking the one pair off and on constantly.
In a few weeks, I felt much better even without visual symptoms. So I decided to visit my family in Tunisia for 2 weeks and everything went very well... no problem with the plane... but after my return to Paris, the symptoms returned and I went back to the acceptance stage! I know that returning from your country of origin to the country where you work is very hard even for normal people. I hope it doesn't last too long this time!
Dr yo, when you explained the negativity bias and perceiving people as not caring because we're attuned to that, I stopped the video, got up, walked to the mirror, and said "holy ******* ****"
Extremely insightful...such useful information. I only wish more medical practitioners were aware of this and presented this kind of approach to patients, before they give the dreaded ones.." Learn to live with it.. don't know what's wrong with you, it's migraine, you need multiple medications...etc etc..." Just wondering if the amount of daily movement or exercise one engages in can also accelerate recovery? Trying to walk everyday, despite it creating my worst imbalance symptoms..( also have secondary visual stuff..floaters, blurry vision, photophobia...eye exam checks out fine...) And thank you Dr. Yo, for the inexhaustible amount of work, compassion and care you devote to everyone in need. 💞
@@TheSteadyCoachper haps we can hand them your business card with you tube info on it! I tell them your name and what you are doing. One doctor says Oh I am so glad you have that as a resource now lets increase your blood pressure med some! Lol. So glad I see their comments coming. Just one day they should have this and then watch how fast they know your name.❤
@@TheSteadyCoach he is! He's the ONLY Dr. I've ever had who can be a doctor & yet at the same time NEVER medical gaslight. He's helped me more than I think he knows.
Heej 😊 i live with a cronic dizzynest for 1,5 year now., and from what i have achive and learned is: do not gave up., do not let your dizzynest control you., sometimes ignoring the simpoms helped me... because i was focusing TO much all the time on a dizzynest and just staying at home., because i was scared to do sport., meeting pepoole., driving car... well., my life was just like leaving to survive., but not really enjoying life anymore. I belive i am now somewhere around 70% recovery... on one point i just start putting myself first( well., i am still learing., i was allways a big empath and people pleaser)., i start doing sport again- i go to swiming pool 4x a week., i just found myself in "a water".. so., i belive it is importnat to find THAT somethink that keeps you alive- and that should not be the other person... but somethink for your soul., your energy... having a great people around you is a big plus., but on the end of the day., you are the one living with this "shity dizzynest" and you have to put yourself first and your health and heart first! I still have dizzy days, sometimes dizzy weeks... but funny things is- when i am doing what i love- like swimming., dancing, and so on... dizzynest is gone. So... my advice- do ehat you love and do it as often as you can... positive thing in live gets dizzynest away faster
You've given me the confirmation. I know deep down that the toxic relationship im in is impeding healing. Im currently in both physical therapy and mental health therapy but always have to be here in this environment. People just don't understand so I am so happy and hopeful that you addressed the toxic relationship aspect of this condition. My recovery waxes and wanes, I have good days and a lot of bad days because I cannot immediately escape. Bless you Yonit, you are a voice in the wilderness❤
I feel like going back to living your life should count as a factor. Like Dr Sarno talked about. Teaching your brain not to avoid things and that movement can help the brain know that activity is safe and calm down the fight or flight mode
Hi Leon, ability to do that is definitely a factor! I kind of thought about that as lumped in with “ability to make changes” but it probably is a separate factor.
Agree! I worked out this week for the first time in over a month. I was really nervous and foggy headed, walking into the gym, but I kept telling myself that I'm teaching my brain that this is safe. Sure enough, started feeling better and better as the workout went on.
Many of the videos are about that! But I’ve been getting this question a lot recently. This might be a good one to watch ruclips.net/video/P1tS9uuq7xA/видео.html
Thank you so very much for the informative and educational information, Yonit! I look forward to taking your free class and continuing to listen to your RUclips channel. Sooo grateful for you! ❤❤❤
Ugh I’ve got the job that I hate! I’ve been off with PPPD, but gearing up to go back after finding you Dr. Yonit! I know 100% the thought of going back to a toxic work environment is making my symptoms linger. How to have the confidence to find a new job in this muddy water I’m in!
So tough. That’s how I ended up doing this- i ended up with a breakdown from doing a job I hated. I hear you. I hope you can make a change rather than go back.

oh man, i was feeling so good for over one year. Yesterday I went to a concert where it ran long, I was cold and head felt a little restricted by my shoulders, lol. Well, as i went to sleep, I woke around 3 a.m. with a dizzy spell. I had to stand up and walk by hanging onto the walls. Felt better and went back to sleep. Same episode when I woke 4 hours later. i have been diagnosed with pppd, but somehow this didn't feel like my perception. I have been anxious all day and this mediation helped a bit, but would like your thoughts.....
It is normal for symptoms to occasionally and temporarily reappear. But it could be that you have BPPV or another physical cause of dizziness. Head over to a vestibular PT just to get checked!
What if I’m constantly in danger mode due to having a severe panic attack after I smoked marijuana and lost sense of reality and feeling in my body since I was confused on where I was at that time and how I got there (I was walking home staring at my phone and then looked up and was so confused how I got there) so I developed neural circuit dizziness after that and constantly being scared of that happening again. It ended up happening again even after I quit smoking. I’ve been dealing with Neural circuit dizziness for over 8 years and the symptoms are scary of course and give me anxiety since I didn’t know what was wrong until I found your channel this month but what really stumps me is being scared of having that attack again since it just happens out of nowhere (usually a vision problem that trips me out) the attack is like a constant out of body experience where I can’t walk and lose sense of reality and get numb in the body and everything starts spinning. I have all the other symptoms that correlate with PPPD, MdDS etc but this is the one thing that I don’t hear you talk about ever.
I am sorry you are going through this, but you are not alone! Please check out this video if you haven't already ruclips.net/video/P1tS9uuq7xA/видео.html

Hi! I'm israel, from Brazil. I've been suffering from dizziness symptoms since January this year after I hit my head passing through a small gate. I went to the doctor and he prescribed medicine for the dizziness, which didn't work for me... until I found out about VR, and I started doing VR exercises at home, which made me recover a great deal from the dizziness. Now my question is... how do I know when to stop with the exercises? Unfortunately where I live it's hard to find a specialist in vestibular disorders
That is AWESOME, Israel! So glad exercises have helped you! VR exercises are usually done for 2-3 months so I would do them consistently and make them harder (the program you found should have some suggestions about how to do that) over time so you’re always a bit challenged.
Absolutely right. It is incredibly important to have people to support. I would look for local support groups or even volunteer spots where they can be understanding about your needs right now. Connection is a HUGE message of safety and so is feeling like you’re doing something meaningful. Even making small talk with strangers can help. Online, there are supportive places like my membership community.
Newbie here. Very happy to have found you. Dr.Yo, can you tell me if your neural circuit approach (and your course & other videos) carry over to symptoms that came on as a result of having Covid? I've watched 3 or 4 or your videos so far, but I haven't heard a connection with long covid. I seem to have PPPD for 4 months now. I have yet to get a "real" diagnosis, but pressure in my head builds when I bend down to pick something up, exercise, or just moving around too much brings me to the brink of dizziness and I know I have to rest with my head supported. My symptoms started about a week after recovering (I thought) from Covid. Links to any videos you've done on this would be appreciated. I'm also wondering if it's spike-protein related or micro clots in the tiny structures of the inner ear, do you think your program would help? I was about to start a series of acupuncture treatments, but am questioning if I should try your program first (or both at the same time?). Thanks very much in advance for your reply.
I have asked this before, but does this apply to Ménière’s? I have had BPPV, migraine vertigo, PPPD for sure. I have 24/7 severe left ear deafness, severe pressure,and tinnitus. I feel like I am living life from a merry go round. I have had it for 33 years. Some years, less dizzy but never without some even if mild. It feels,like my eyes, ears, and brain and working cooperatively with each other. Have neural circuit dizziness too. I know exactly when and how it started. Dr induced thyroid storm. I always grieve it at least once a day since the dizziness constantly reminds me that I am yet disabled, always wishing I wasn’t and thinking maybe tomorrow it will go away. It’s a type if prison. I sure hope there is not dizziness in heaven. I do and have always helped others. I do so every day regardless of the dizziness plaguing me.Great video. I have heard them all. I wish I could apply these techniques and be healed. Hasn’t happened yet.
Dr Yonit, could you please speak to what reading glasses can do to PPPD? I find that my worst symptoms are when I am wearing reading glasses but my job and hobby of reading means I need to wear them a lot. I probably need a new prescription, but the current one isn't that old. I was told by a vestibular physio to avoid multifocal glasses. How can I alleviate this issue?
In essence: your brain is not doing a good job of switching “vision templates.” This is common with PPPD. I’d first notice if there are any differences between how you feel at work vs reading- this tells you what stress factors are at play. Beyond that, recognizing this is simply a brain prediction error and not dangerous (albeit annoying) is the way out.
If medical issues have been ruled out, this can be a conditioned response. Many people have been able to rewire their nervous systems to get rid of food sensitivities. Most important is to believe it'spossible, and to start losing your fear of the symptoms.
Hi Dr Yonit, I have had dizziness for one year (going through a very difficult divorce that’s had me in danger mode full time) and believe I have neural circuit dizziness. I have unsteadiness continually whilst walking every day. Do you know if a Alpha-Stim device can help along side your other advice ? I have one but not sure it’s the right thing to help ? Thanks.
Hi there! So sorry to hear what you’re going through- sounds like your nervous system has lots of reasons to feel threatened. Alpha stim and similar devices can help with symptoms but from my perspective are a bandaid- don’t address root stress. BUT often bandaids help wounds heal! It’s ok to have some symptom relief so you can work on the stress factors and get through this difficult time.
Good comments. Yes, im in the same situation. I think my problem, is likely because of the possible presence of fluid behind my eardrum, which was never evacuated and tubes inserted in the eardrum, which I am seeing, is typically done for kids, but is not being done for some reason for Adults. Unfortunately, because I am on Medicaid, seems these poorly trained doctors, do little to nothing, except use a cheap otoscope; sometimes with a light, to convince themselves, nothing is wrong, thus the dizziness and balance problem persists, where if there were better diagnostic methods, few people would be leaving comments about Symptoms and Suffering. This problem needs to be better addressed, as I think I could really get back to work, if these 'Guesswork In a White Labcoat People would learn to be { More Comprehensive in Assessing and making a Proper Diagnosis..} 😮
I have swaying/rocking on boat feeling when I am walking . I get dizzy when I look at moving vehicles . But I feel comfortable to drive and I can drive just fine . Does that rule me out of pppd ?
Some people with neural circuit dizziness also feel fine driving. You may be interested in this video ruclips.net/video/rtwNNaw7dqA/видео.htmlsi=wF5FoDiok6J6spho
I'm 13 months now walker after last January major covid 32 days hospital then June 2022 major Vertigo got mri no stroke was told bppv.just awful feeling eye pressure weird fog head I need help no one still many Dr's was told long term covid can you help ?🙏
If there is no physical tissue damage that explains the illness, it is very possibly a neural circuit disorder. Consider taking my course, it is free. thesteadycoach.com/free-course
My ENT recently diagnosed me with vestibular migraines, but my dizziness isn't severe, and one of my main symptoms is also ear pressure/pain in one ear. Could this still be neural circuit dizziness?
Ive had severe issues for two decades. I am trying to rule out lyme as a biological cause first but my question is: if my head pressure and balance problems are much more excrutiating during prerain weather and pms…could that really be something i can think away?
Environmental and hormone fluctuations can affect symptoms. I discuss this more in these videos. ruclips.net/video/StYWlDFkFjM/видео.htmlsi=IyVy5ObAOE4DY24f and ruclips.net/video/6Jh8uBVm22w/видео.htmlsi=tvRFuIfvfo2RFmKF
I have had chronic back pain, migraines, TMJD, IBS and eczema as well as anxiety. I have had dizziness, vertigo and lightheadedness, but thankfully, my nervous system didn’t latch on to it so it never went chronic. I happen to be an audiologist who has worked with people with dizziness throughout my career, so my passion is helping people with dizziness.❤️ also of interest- my friend and colleague Pippa, who works with me as a coach, is also an audiologist, and she personally recovered from vestibular migraine - her doctor told her she was “the worse case” he’d seen!
I have a question...is it possible to overdo it? Or is that old thinking? Are symptoms of brain and eye fatigue real because I'm pushing myself or is it symptoms because I used to think I only had so much stability reserve? Hope this makes sense!
Great question, Beth! Tough to answer because it probably depends on the person. Some fatigue truly is because this is hard on your brain. But often the brain puts the brakes on too early because it falsely thinks you were in danger and need to recover. I think in general pushing a bit out of your comfort zone is a good idea but also doing this in a consistent and slow way while giving yourself messages of safety rather than going wild with it is the best way for most people.
Thank you Dr. Yonit...that is what I am basically doing! I love your material, knowledge and insight! I've been at this new approach(your material on neural circuit dizziness) since June 24th and have experienced progress! Looking forward to healing completely!@@TheSteadyCoach

My eyes never seem to be the same day to day or even hour to hour. I have seen numerous optometrists and an ophthalmologist. My eyesight apparently isn't that bad for my age but one of the optometrists and the ophthalmologist both told me that multifocals can be difficult for many people and particularly difficult for people with vestibular issues. They both have patients that have to wear various one strength glasses around their necks. I can't imagine having to swap glasses all day long, it's bad enough taking the one pair off and on constantly.
In a few weeks, I felt much better even without visual symptoms. So I decided to visit my family in Tunisia for 2 weeks and everything went very well... no problem with the plane... but after my return to Paris, the symptoms returned and I went back to the acceptance stage! I know that returning from your country of origin to the country where you work is very hard even for normal people. I hope it doesn't last too long this time!
Yes, this can bring up emotions, but you know the techniques. You can do this!
I'm the person who didn't get stuck in bed, and the recovery process is baby steps😅 I really try to focus the things that I've improved‼︎
Same here
How are you now?
@@Hun0r.2002 doing way better! swaying and stuff are kinda there, but it doesn't affect my life and I don't have severe bad days.
Your fantastic with your advice thank you I have hard time saying no
Dr yo, when you explained the negativity bias and perceiving people as not caring because we're attuned to that, I stopped the video, got up, walked to the mirror, and said "holy ******* ****"
You are a healer!!!!!!!!!
Extremely insightful...such useful information. I only wish more medical practitioners were aware of this and presented this kind of approach to patients, before they give the dreaded ones.." Learn to live with it.. don't know what's wrong with you, it's migraine, you need multiple medications...etc etc..." Just wondering if the amount of daily movement or exercise one engages in can also accelerate recovery? Trying to walk everyday, despite it creating my worst imbalance symptoms..( also have secondary visual stuff..floaters, blurry vision, photophobia...eye exam checks out fine...) And thank you Dr. Yo, for the inexhaustible amount of work, compassion and care you devote to everyone in need. 💞
One of my missions is to help spread this message to providers as well. Daily movement is great for healing!
Keep moving and healing that nervous system. The visual symptoms will subside as you heal
@@TheSteadyCoachper haps we can hand them your business card with you tube info on it! I tell them your name and what you are doing. One doctor says Oh I am so glad you have that as a resource now lets increase your blood pressure med some! Lol. So glad I see their comments coming. Just one day they should have this and then watch how fast they know your name.❤
I can help you recover.
My chiropractor bless his heart… he tells me all the time I will get better, it’ll go away.
YES! He’s right!
@@TheSteadyCoach he is! He's the ONLY Dr. I've ever had who can be a doctor & yet at the same time NEVER medical gaslight. He's helped me more than I think he knows.
I have been seeing an upper cervical chiropractor and I truly believe he wants to see me healed completely. I also see an acupuncturist.
Same!
@@nancymicklatcher117 I still have vertigo every day😞
As always, amazing info, thankyou
This is very clear and a great thing to review over and over.
Heej 😊 i live with a cronic dizzynest for 1,5 year now., and from what i have achive and learned is: do not gave up., do not let your dizzynest control you., sometimes ignoring the simpoms helped me... because i was focusing TO much all the time on a dizzynest and just staying at home., because i was scared to do sport., meeting pepoole., driving car... well., my life was just like leaving to survive., but not really enjoying life anymore. I belive i am now somewhere around 70% recovery... on one point i just start putting myself first( well., i am still learing., i was allways a big empath and people pleaser)., i start doing sport again- i go to swiming pool 4x a week., i just found myself in "a water".. so., i belive it is importnat to find THAT somethink that keeps you alive- and that should not be the other person... but somethink for your soul., your energy... having a great people around you is a big plus., but on the end of the day., you are the one living with this "shity dizzynest" and you have to put yourself first and your health and heart first! I still have dizzy days, sometimes dizzy weeks... but funny things is- when i am doing what i love- like swimming., dancing, and so on... dizzynest is gone. So... my advice- do ehat you love and do it as often as you can... positive thing in live gets dizzynest away faster
❤❤❤
You've given me the confirmation. I know deep down that the toxic relationship im in is impeding healing. Im currently in both physical therapy and mental health therapy but always have to be here in this environment. People just don't understand so I am so happy and hopeful that you addressed the toxic relationship aspect of this condition. My recovery waxes and wanes, I have good days and a lot of bad days because I cannot immediately escape. Bless you Yonit, you are a voice in the wilderness❤
Im surviving the exact same lifestyle and i want to get better. It's an awful existence. I have hope, listening to Dr Yo.
I am sorry you are going through this, Elizabeth, but like you said, there is hope!
I feel like going back to living your life should count as a factor. Like Dr Sarno talked about. Teaching your brain not to avoid things and that movement can help the brain know that activity is safe and calm down the fight or flight mode
Hi Leon, ability to do that is definitely a factor! I kind of thought about that as lumped in with “ability to make changes” but it probably is a separate factor.
Agree! I worked out this week for the first time in over a month. I was really nervous and foggy headed, walking into the gym, but I kept telling myself that I'm teaching my brain that this is safe. Sure enough, started feeling better and better as the workout went on.
Great video!! Could you put out a video about predictive coding and how to stop anticipating feeling bad at certain times.
Many of the videos are about that! But I’ve been getting this question a lot recently. This might be a good one to watch ruclips.net/video/P1tS9uuq7xA/видео.html
Es algo complejo para mí entender esto. Pero trato de recordar las historias de los pacientes y eso me motiva.Gracias.
Thank you so very much for the informative and educational information, Yonit! I look forward to taking your free class and continuing to listen to your RUclips channel. Sooo grateful for you! ❤❤❤
Thank you once again for a great video, I feel like I’m kind of stuck but I will take all that advice and encouragement grateful
You're so welcome, Denise!
Appreciate.
Ugh I’ve got the job that I hate! I’ve been off with PPPD, but gearing up to go back after finding you Dr. Yonit! I know 100% the thought of going back to a toxic work environment is making my symptoms linger. How to have the confidence to find a new job in this muddy water I’m in!
So tough. That’s how I ended up doing this- i ended up with a breakdown from doing a job I hated. I hear you. I hope you can make a change rather than go back.
HI! I just realized, I think carla and parker's story isn't in the recovery playlist😊
thank you for this new video, helps a lot❤
Thank you for letting me know! All fixed now!
Thank you really helpful. John Wales Uk
You're very welcome, John!
Hmmm, where is the video to share with my therapist?
Thank you 🙏
You're welcome, Julie!
I simply don’t have social support so therapy is super important for me.

oh man, i was feeling so good for over one year. Yesterday I went to a concert where it ran long, I was cold and head felt a little restricted by my shoulders, lol. Well, as i went to sleep, I woke around 3 a.m. with a dizzy spell. I had to stand up and walk by hanging onto the walls. Felt better and went back to sleep. Same episode when I woke 4 hours later. i have been diagnosed with pppd, but somehow this didn't feel like my perception. I have been anxious all day and this mediation helped a bit, but would like your thoughts.....
It is normal for symptoms to occasionally and temporarily reappear. But it could be that you have BPPV or another physical cause of dizziness. Head over to a vestibular PT just to get checked!
@@TheSteadyCoach thank you for answering. It means a lot.
So many videos. Very informative but is there an order that would be most helpful. I’m a bit overwhelmed.
Please take the course, it's free, and it organizes all the video in logical order. thesteadycoach.com/free-course
What if I’m constantly in danger mode due to having a severe panic attack after I smoked marijuana and lost sense of reality and feeling in my body since I was confused on where I was at that time and how I got there (I was walking home staring at my phone and then looked up and was so confused how I got there) so I developed neural circuit dizziness after that and constantly being scared of that happening again. It ended up happening again even after I quit smoking.
I’ve been dealing with Neural circuit dizziness for over 8 years and the symptoms are scary of course and give me anxiety since I didn’t know what was wrong until I found your channel this month but what really stumps me is being scared of having that attack again since it just happens out of nowhere (usually a vision problem that trips me out) the attack is like a constant out of body experience where I can’t walk and lose sense of reality and get numb in the body and everything starts spinning. I have all the other symptoms that correlate with PPPD, MdDS etc but this is the one thing that I don’t hear you talk about ever.
I am sorry you are going through this, but you are not alone! Please check out this video if you haven't already ruclips.net/video/P1tS9uuq7xA/видео.html
nice doc more vid about vetibulatr migraine w vertigo pls 💞🙏

Sensations for 13+ years....3 years doing the work and slowely getting better with many ups and downs.
@Ackermann634 mind body work like the work discussed in this video.
How much of the 13 years was spend bed bound?
Hi! I'm israel, from Brazil. I've been suffering from dizziness symptoms since January this year after I hit my head passing through a small gate. I went to the doctor and he prescribed medicine for the dizziness, which didn't work for me... until I found out about VR, and I started doing VR exercises at home, which made me recover a great deal from the dizziness. Now my question is... how do I know when to stop with the exercises? Unfortunately where I live it's hard to find a specialist in vestibular disorders
Oi israel, tudo bem??? Eu passei na Dra Nathalia Prudencio, otoneurologista! Ela atende em SP ou online, pesquise o canal dela!
That is AWESOME, Israel! So glad exercises have helped you! VR exercises are usually done for 2-3 months so I would do them consistently and make them harder (the program you found should have some suggestions about how to do that) over time so you’re always a bit challenged.
What if there is no family or people willing to support? Being alone with is, esp spinning attacks, escalates the fight or flight.
Absolutely right. It is incredibly important to have people to support. I would look for local support groups or even volunteer spots where they can be understanding about your needs right now. Connection is a HUGE message of safety and so is feeling like you’re doing something meaningful. Even making small talk with strangers can help. Online, there are supportive places like my membership community.
What are your thoughts on using syntonics as a tool for NCD?
Newbie here. Very happy to have found you. Dr.Yo, can you tell me if your neural circuit approach (and your course & other videos) carry over to symptoms that came on as a result of having Covid? I've watched 3 or 4 or your videos so far, but I haven't heard a connection with long covid. I seem to have PPPD for 4 months now. I have yet to get a "real" diagnosis, but pressure in my head builds when I bend down to pick something up, exercise, or just moving around too much brings me to the brink of dizziness and I know I have to rest with my head supported. My symptoms started about a week after recovering (I thought) from Covid. Links to any videos you've done on this would be appreciated. I'm also wondering if it's spike-protein related or micro clots in the tiny structures of the inner ear, do you think your program would help? I was about to start a series of acupuncture treatments, but am questioning if I should try your program first (or both at the same time?). Thanks very much in advance for your reply.
Ask Dr Yo: is there a difference between post Covid-19 dizziness & other types of chronic dizziness? ruclips.net/video/t2G8DVCtC2Y/видео.html
Good stuff here, thanks. Lol.....don't need more spa days
I have asked this before, but does this apply to Ménière’s? I have had BPPV, migraine vertigo, PPPD for sure. I have 24/7 severe left ear deafness, severe pressure,and tinnitus. I feel like I am living life from a merry go round. I have had it for 33 years. Some years, less dizzy but never without some even if mild. It feels,like my eyes, ears, and brain and working cooperatively with each other. Have neural circuit dizziness too. I know exactly when and how it started. Dr induced thyroid storm. I always grieve it at least once a day since the dizziness constantly reminds me that I am yet disabled, always wishing I wasn’t and thinking maybe tomorrow it will go away. It’s a type if prison. I sure hope there is not dizziness in heaven. I do and have always helped others. I do so every day regardless of the dizziness plaguing me.Great video. I have heard them all. I wish I could apply these techniques and be healed. Hasn’t happened yet.
This video is for you! ruclips.net/video/20eS_sXTXBA/видео.html
Dr Yonit, could you please speak to what reading glasses can do to PPPD? I find that my worst symptoms are when I am wearing reading glasses but my job and hobby of reading means I need to wear them a lot. I probably need a new prescription, but the current one isn't that old. I was told by a vestibular physio to avoid multifocal glasses. How can I alleviate this issue?
In essence: your brain is not doing a good job of switching “vision templates.” This is common with PPPD. I’d first notice if there are any differences between how you feel at work vs reading- this tells you what stress factors are at play. Beyond that, recognizing this is simply a brain prediction error and not dangerous (albeit annoying) is the way out.
How do I change?
Can this information be relevant for vestibular migraine diagnosis
Hi I noticed when I eat something with miracle whip or something like it the next day I feel more dizziness next day. What can I do?
If medical issues have been ruled out, this can be a conditioned response. Many people have been able to rewire their nervous systems to get rid of food sensitivities. Most important is to believe it'spossible, and to start losing your fear of the symptoms.
Hi Dr Yonit, I have had dizziness for one year (going through a very difficult divorce that’s had me in danger mode full time) and believe I have neural circuit dizziness. I have unsteadiness continually whilst walking every day. Do you know if a Alpha-Stim device can help along side your other advice ? I have one but not sure it’s the right thing to help ? Thanks.
Hi there! So sorry to hear what you’re going through- sounds like your nervous system has lots of reasons to feel threatened. Alpha stim and similar devices can help with symptoms but from my perspective are a bandaid- don’t address root stress. BUT often bandaids help wounds heal! It’s ok to have some symptom relief so you can work on the stress factors and get through this difficult time.
Good comments. Yes, im in the same situation. I think my problem, is likely because of the possible presence of fluid behind my eardrum, which was never evacuated and tubes inserted in the eardrum, which I am seeing, is typically done for kids, but is not being done for some reason for Adults. Unfortunately, because I am on Medicaid, seems these poorly trained doctors, do little to nothing, except use a cheap otoscope; sometimes with a light, to convince themselves, nothing is wrong, thus the dizziness and balance problem persists, where if there were better diagnostic methods, few people would be leaving comments about Symptoms and Suffering.
This problem needs to be better addressed, as I think I could really get back to work, if these 'Guesswork In a White Labcoat People would learn to be { More Comprehensive in Assessing and making a Proper Diagnosis..} 😮
Amen!!! If they would just LISTEN TO PATIENTS (I know, radical thinking) and hear their stories, so many of you would not be on my channel.
I have swaying/rocking on boat feeling when I am walking . I get dizzy when I look at moving vehicles . But I feel comfortable to drive and I can drive just fine . Does that rule me out of pppd ?
Some people with neural circuit dizziness also feel fine driving. You may be interested in this video ruclips.net/video/rtwNNaw7dqA/видео.htmlsi=wF5FoDiok6J6spho
Will there be subtitles under this video?
Yes! There was a RUclips glitch and we are fixing it. Subtitles should be available in a few days.
I'm 13 months now walker after last January major covid 32 days hospital then June 2022 major Vertigo got mri no stroke was told bppv.just awful feeling eye pressure weird fog head I need help no one still many Dr's was told long term covid can you help ?🙏
If there is no physical tissue damage that explains the illness, it is very possibly a neural circuit disorder. Consider taking my course, it is free. thesteadycoach.com/free-course
when some people have it so long, that they are not afraid of the symptoms, is their danger mode still on?? How can they get better from there?
The number 1 thing you’re missing in dizziness, VM, PPPD, MdDS recovery: why & how to feel emotions ruclips.net/video/9MWKH8XOoC8/видео.html
My ENT recently diagnosed me with vestibular migraines, but my dizziness isn't severe, and one of my main symptoms is also ear pressure/pain in one ear. Could this still be neural circuit dizziness?
Yes. Vestibular migraine is a neural circuit dizziness disorder.
Ive had severe issues for two decades. I am trying to rule out lyme as a biological cause first but my question is: if my head pressure and balance problems are much more excrutiating during prerain weather and pms…could that really be something i can think away?
Environmental and hormone fluctuations can affect symptoms. I discuss this more in these videos. ruclips.net/video/StYWlDFkFjM/видео.htmlsi=IyVy5ObAOE4DY24f and ruclips.net/video/6Jh8uBVm22w/видео.htmlsi=tvRFuIfvfo2RFmKF
Caregiver stress on point
have you had chronic dizziness?
I have had chronic back pain, migraines, TMJD, IBS and eczema as well as anxiety. I have had dizziness, vertigo and lightheadedness, but thankfully, my nervous system didn’t latch on to it so it never went chronic. I happen to be an audiologist who has worked with people with dizziness throughout my career, so my passion is helping people with dizziness.❤️ also of interest- my friend and colleague Pippa, who works with me as a coach, is also an audiologist, and she personally recovered from vestibular migraine - her doctor told her she was “the worse case” he’d seen!
I have a question...is it possible to overdo it? Or is that old thinking? Are symptoms of brain and eye fatigue real because I'm pushing myself or is it symptoms because I used to think I only had so much stability reserve? Hope this makes sense!
Great question, Beth! Tough to answer because it probably depends on the person. Some fatigue truly is because this is hard on your brain. But often the brain puts the brakes on too early because it falsely thinks you were in danger and need to recover. I think in general pushing a bit out of your comfort zone is a good idea but also doing this in a consistent and slow way while giving yourself messages of safety rather than going wild with it is the best way for most people.
Thank you Dr. Yonit...that is what I am basically doing! I love your material, knowledge and insight! I've been at this new approach(your material on neural circuit dizziness) since June 24th and have experienced progress! Looking forward to healing completely!@@TheSteadyCoach
