You’re a lifesaver. 2 years into this dizzy journey (started 3 months after I got COVID) and I am only NOW understanding how to deal with it. Been panicking since 2021 and I have finally started yoga and parasympathetic breathing. Those 2 are helping the most
Makes so much sense to me! I can really equate to the term “neural circuit dizziness” and clarifies exactly what I am trying to explain to my doctor and optician right now. I am one of these people who nultitasks, always have and can be critical when I don’t perform to the very best of my expectations. I am now feeling more informed from this video and do enjoy your clarity of examples as well as your sharing of knowledge. Thank you always. Kind regards Isobel
At last someone who understands and has an explanation on what is going on...14 years I have suffered and Im exhausted. look forward to your other videos.
Beautiful teaching.🙏 I take everything to heart…. And apply. This last year’s chapter in my road to recovery, has been about the self compassion of “ letting go” of attachments of People… places and THINGS. This chapter has been the most rough. Things like , behaviors, beliefs, people, relationships etc etc, that have been running a program in me for decades. Everything has come UP right here in this chapter. Very… very difficult work ( and time consuming) indeed as I have grown to know thyself. I was born fearful, and life was built around that. There’s no denying, we want our stable bodies back, ( I pray for patience too) but I love that you put it such a great higher archy of perspective. Heal your life… And the rest WILL follow. At 70 , I can see how my ( future) life will reflect all I have learned as i believe in wellness BODY… MIND… SOUL.
Absolutely, everything you said. I wish you didn't have to do this work, and I especially wish your body hadn't decided to do the dizziness to get you there. But i know you can do it.
My problem is start I feel dizzy all day. I also have a heavy head, sometimes heavy body. What do I do? I have 3 year old I need to take care of, I need to do other things too. Jesus please I am tired of this burden.
My friend i have dizziness since 2006 initially i felt it's due to brain...then neck...then ear....bppv...and recently in 2023 got to know its mdds and the medicines are uselless no solution....the only solution is to forget and get going yes i know buddy its painfull but what the hell we can do.... responsibility r there and we have to complete them till we end....
You are the BOMB Dr. Yo!! It’s been so hard to find someone who knows / relates to these awful feelings. Not to mention solutions… it makes someone feel as if it’s dementia or something terrible like that. Thank you for this information and taking your time to help people. May God Bless you and your family! 😃
So I watched this after getting a severe migraine this last weekend. I had been doing very well compared to 6 months ago and after my migraine I felt discouraged and I noticed I was actually blaming myself for the dizziness/brain fog. I work as a structural engineer so it's not good to have dizziness when I want to be efficient or accurate with my work. Addressing my issues with with the ideas in this video will help! Thank you! Thanks for the video!
I have had chronic vertigo 24/7 for 10 years since I was 26 years old. I have extreme upper cervical instability. A neurosurgeon said I need c1 fusion. Is brian retraining still helpful for someone like me?🙏
Thank you!! How long have you been helping people with chronic dizziness? You’re very knowledgeable- more than a lot of doctors I’ve seen? Are you teaching from experience? I appreciate all of your videos!!!
Hi Kirby, I've been working with people with chronic dizziness and other central processing related symptoms throughout my entire career (12 years). My methods and approach have definitely evolved with time and experience. Nowadays I pretty much only work with the people who the medical system has given up on.
Thankyou so much for explaining this! I didn't understand why I can barely string a sentence together or think of words and it's really been affecting my confidence. Through watching this I can totally understand why! Thankyou again XX
Wow. You are a Gift. I was just diagnosed with PPPD and then Long Covid. I found you 3 days ago. You have helped me more Than any doctor or drug. I had a feeling that stress was consuming me. Now I'm sure of it. I start following your advice and the last 2 days have been the Best days I have had in the last 7 months. Thank you for taking the time to do these very detailed discussions. Anyone who has PPPD or long Covid should follow you. You are saving peoples lives. Thank you so much!
@@LezaanBrummer for me I have Health anxiety. Narrowing it down to stress and past trauma took a good year. Doctor visits lasted almost a year. Then I got a PPPD and Long Covid diagnosis with in 2 weeks. That took a good 5 months to work through that. The whole time I watched testimonies and Somatic tracking. There is no magic bullet. You have to look inside and deal with the past and the present at the same time. I believe this is a life journey. Dr Yo is our shepherd guiding us. I have a lot of work to do. My biggest struggle is finding a therapist who can help me. All of the therapist I have contacted are not taking patients. So I’m dealing with Teladocs. My biggest thing is being kind to myself. I have fought my whole life. So I have prepared for this my whole life.
I have been struggling with crippling dizziness for 10 yrs now. Can’t hardly drive or work and you nail every weird little detail of the experience. Not one out of the 60 drs I have seen have ever brought up one of the things you talk about. You are a saint for doing what you do. Thank you
I agree. I’m in the same situation. It will be 10 years in October when I fell in my head that started it. She is amazing. Thank you so much.❤️ I just started listening to your emotional section and I think that that is my missing piece
please help me❤ i have now 4 years pppd after .bppv. In these years 90% of the time i felt processing issues and that made me feel off balance. Now, i feel some menopause symptoms also and brainfog suddenly more and more. Forget things etc. Now i am a bit confused...the processing issues i already feel for 4 years 24 hours a day...that cant be just brainfog from menopause can it? The brainfog that you talk about here, is a different sensation i guess than feeling off balance because my brain does not processing the eyes ears and touch info very well? Please explain. I❤
Thank you! Just found your channel after recently being diagnosed with pppd. I’ve been dealing with symptoms for over a year and all of your videos are giving me a lot of hope. It has really helped to understand the brain’s role in all of this!
Thank you dr. Yo! Fatigue and brain fog are my long lasting symptoms, it starts from my eyes then goes to my brain and then to my body! When I clean the apartment, cook and clean the kitchen or take a 15 minutes walk I get so tired I often need to take a nap. During summer I was doing better but now with the autumn coming on and its sudden weather changes I find myself even more fatigued and when I feel like that my eyes struggle even more to focus, is that normal? The only thing that helps me is pacing, and taking some naps here and there but its so frustrating, I was so damn healthy before and now I can do less than 15% of the things I used to do before..
You are not alone in how you are feeling. I talk more about fatigue in this video and include some strategies as well ruclips.net/video/eLawzXnjIP0/видео.htmlsi=fH57Zr__C9OVeMQg
Okay I have came back now to type a more in depth explanation on my phone so its easier. Back in March 2024 I drank 1.5 frozen coffees from dunkins (im not a coffee drinker anyway) & had some donuts in about a 2 hour span. My heart started racing and I felt like I was having anxiety so I laid down for a minute but it wouldn’t go away; I tried taking a warm bath but felt like I was going to pass out. Called 911 and everything checked out fine; I had SOB & Chest pains from then until about end of July. Chest pains went away but SOB stayed & on came lightheaded (like im going to pass out) & dry mouth as well as fatigued. Shortness of breath has since gone away & dry mouth isn’t there nearly as bad but the Fatigue & Lightheadedness is insane. Its all day every day , no stop in sight. What can cause this? My cardiologist said everything is good , my pcp said everything is good. All my tests are normal including Magnesium & B12 . Please help someone. Life isn’t even enjoyable.
I’ve been dealing with post MDDS brain fog for a couple weeks now and every-time I wake up I feel totally fine for the first few hours of the day then it comes back. Do you know why this might be?
Hello Dr. Yonit…. I went on a cruise and returned 2 months ago. I have experienced terrible dizziness ever since, but found your information quickly due to the fact that the dizziness was brought on specifically by the cruise. I am so grateful for your information. Your video on RUclips was the ONLY PLACE that give specific instructions for getting the OKN stripes and how to use them. Also, I have been doing some deep cleaning (long overdue) of my thought patterns. This has been amazingly helpful as well. I told my brain that we were done feeling dizzy, and there was quite a battle for a few days. This sounds weird, but I am feeling myself come out on the other side and I am feeling ok for the first time since I returned from my cruise. I still intend to keep working and struggling, but this has been absolutely life changing. I’m so grateful for your information.
Another fab video! Full of everything we need 😊 mindfulness is one ive been doing for a few days. It started of as your videos were my mindfulness escape lol even listening to them throughout my day in my headphones whilst going about my day. Ive also now started doing a 10minute medication video everytime i can tell im overwhelmed and it actually does seem to help how i feel. It kind of makes me a little more in the now and reduces the brain fog, eye stress and being depersonalised. Youre truly an amazing person❤
I feel so much joy reading your comment. And good for you for pointing out that "mindfulness" can mean so many different things! It doesn't always have to look like formal meditation.
Hi dr Yo, I believe I have 3pd or something similar, which stemmed from a marajuana induced panic attack I had around 6 weeks ago. I haven’t been right since (daily or by-daily episodes of dizziness and shortness of breathe). I have ensured to not ingest it anymore and I have already started to feel better about myself (as I also put a lot of pressure on myself in addition to this). But I would like to ask that from what I hear, to be diagnosed with 3pd you have to have symptoms for more than 3 months. Is this true in all cases? The reason I ask this is because I read a definition of 3pd to be near constant vague dizziness and brain fog which best describes my symptoms. If it has not reached the threshold of 3 months can it still be early 3pd? I have been to the doctor and my heart, Lungs and blood tests all came back clear. Many Thanks
Hi Lee, so sorry you're going through that and you are not the only person I've heard from who has experienced that. It can be "neural circuit dizziness" even if you don't meet the 3 month threshold. It is important to make sure there is no medical explanation, though. You can absolutely apply these techniques in your situation. Please consider the course, it's completely free. thesteadycoach.com/free-course
So true. A great explanation. One problem is what to do with persistent spinning during sleep that actually wakes me up. I would love to get out of the "factory" and find another job. If I think, great am I not dizzy, the dizziness immediately returns. If I tell myself when dizzy to let it go, ignore, refocus, am still dizzy. I have had Menierre's for 33 years. Feels like a no win situation. I need a new ear.
I know, right?! Kathy, hang in there, I have a gentleman who just reached out to me who is setting up his coaching practice specifically for people with Meniere's. Maybe contact him and see what he offers. I don't know him yet but we're on the same page in our approach. www.badassheal.com
@@timglasier5593 I tried so hard. I walked every single day although it was really tough. Im on Effexor it really helped me. But the main thing was changing mindset. When I went to a trip for the appointment I understood that when I don’t pay attention to my symptoms it will get better. I tried it and it really got better
Can brain fog caused by PPPD be basically 24/7 even when the vertigo-like dizziness takes a break? With VR the actual feeling of swaying and tilting has gotten less intense, but the brain fog has barely changed and it's been the worst part by far for me.
Dear dr Yonit. Every morning the first hour(s) it seems like my unbalance is much bigger than after these hours. Like it takes time to feel more normal moving again! Every day after a night sleep. But also when i lay down on the couch for like an hour. It takes time to get back in balance again. Is that normal when experiencing pppd? And, when i am able to recover, would this also become normal again? Feels like my head is not able to adjust like normal again after lading down for a while...and i am.only 48.🙏.
Abusive marriage for over 20yrs. My symptoms continued to get worse. He then would get mad because I was sick. I finally got out but still deal with the dizzy. So glad I found your channel!
@@TheSteadyCoach Id give almost anything to be dizzy free...to build a life for me and my child. Ive spent so much money on doctors that didn't help. I pray ur videos will help me. 🙏❤
Thank you, I love watching your videos every week. I wanted to ask a question, please. I haven’t been diagnosed with “dizziness” in any form, but rather heath anxiety and trauma. My symptoms present more as physical movement rather than perceptual. I have had precious other mind-body symptoms. I have found working with a therapist to have limited effect since I’m panicked almost 24/7. I wonder if you’ve ever encountered this and have any advice for what I should do?
I’m sorry you’re going through this. Please start with the video on polyvagal theory if you have not seen that one already. Talk therapy is not helpful for mindbody conditions so it would also be worth considering with a therapist who focuses on somatics or emotions- IFS, AEDP and others help. Step 1 is going to be to calm the nervous system and there are therapists who are going to know how to help you do that.
Wow, I have been to neuro optometrist, vestibular specialist and they can never tell me why I have brain fog. Thank you . 2 years in and hopefully it will all go away soon. Any suggestions , doctor , for motion sickness with BBBP.
Dr Yo, how do you feel about silent/mini strokes / microclots being the cause of chronic brain fog? Are you familiar with characteristics of these and how can we confirm or exclude such diagnosis?
When my brain fog gets bad, it’s accompanied with unsteady wobbly movements, issues walking, and internal dizziness. It feels like not enough blood is going to my brain. I’m fairly sure it’s some form of POTS or dysautonomia. Does this advice pertain to me or is this more likely a physical issue that I’m stuck with?
Hi doctor, I’m diagnosed with idiopathic hypersomnia. As the day progresses, I go from being tired upon waking to feeling extremely tired. That’s when the brain fog and vertigo really kicks in (at around 11am every day). I’ve seen 1/2 dozen doctors. I’m not sure where to go with this. It’s debilitating. Great video btw, my conveyor belt is definitely pushed to the max due to my sleep condition.
I am sorry you are going through this. I always recommend getting checked out medically first to see if there is anything structurally found causing these symptoms. If not, then it is neural circuit issues which can be healed. Check out my free course for more detailed explanations thesteadycoach.com/free-course
I think I've definitely been dealing with this lately. I just don't seem as sharp as before and my thoughts are getting muddled up. Is it common to also have problems reading cuz as of now thats my main symptom...its almost like i forgot how to read. My brain feels scattered
Has anyone experienced reduction of dizziness for some time after taking head bath? Is it a typical response for MDDS or PPPD sufferers? And I always feel like there's fluid floating in both my ears especially when i rest my head in an inclined position. And that sensation goes away for a while once I take a shower. Also I get calf muscle pain when my dizziness increases.
I'm not sure about this one. Maybe for some people that exposure therapy and pacing might work. But what if I have constant brain fog, that is not triggered by anything? It kind of looks like after my initial panic attack, my brain decided to shut down and for 2 years doesnt want to go back to its original state. There are no triggers to brain fog, its there all the time since then. Of course, strenghtening the workers is necessary, and this is what I'm doing, but I'm not sure if this is enough. What if the brain needs some kind of shock to the system, similar to what happened during initial panic attack, but inverse? I think this is what SSRI are doing, but how can we have similar effect without these drugs?
I think this may make more sense to you if you watch this video. Brain fog does not often occur directly after a stressor or physical trigger. The key is in the stress bucket. ruclips.net/video/SKEincksdCk/видео.html
This channel is amazing. I’m so glad I found you! From what I gather, unless your symptoms are medically related, they are most likely fall under the anxiety umbrella, and acceptance is key?
Yes- slight caveat that I don’t use the word anxiety because people usually think of anxiety as a psychiatric symptom instead of nervous system activation, and many people who are chronic dizziness never had anxiety symptoms. I prefer to think of it as a nervous system calibration error 😊
Thanks for video. I'm really jumpy to sudden sounds but not always which is odd. Also to touch but not all. While lying in bed to sleep feel like woozy. But i tend to wakeup worried which i think it impacts my overall sleep quality even though im in bed for 8hrs or so. I also have tinnitus on one ear and feel tension in my neck at night while sleeping. So frustrated
I'm sorry you are dealing with all of that! It is quite common to have lots of other non dizziness symptoms as well. You might check out this video for some advice on what to do about your mornings. ruclips.net/video/BZVxW25uEAk/видео.html
Ive had dizziness the last two years after suffering a severe bout of vertigo. Seen numerous doctors, other medical professionals with no answers. Finding this video and your explanation is making perfect sense. I do believe this is what i have going on. I will review your videos and try and help myself heal. This is so interesting. I think this is the beginning of the end. I have a horrible time trying to get up in the morning as i am so fearful of vertigo i think my brain is creating it. Any suggestions for where to start? I definitely see a correlation between my stress level and the dizziness. Its truly a living hell. Im praying this is what i need. Thank you so much for providing this fantastic information.
in addition to dizziness i have constant head pressure. Also im even worse during weather changes and during my monthly cycle. Can this really be neural circuit dizziness?
Le moyen le plus simple d’obtenir ces informations serait probablement de suivre le cours. La plupart des informations sont écrites et vous pouvez donc utiliser Google Translate. thesteadycoach.com/free-course
@TheSteadyCoach ..true..i get it if there truly are signs..But I see people post something as ..OH I HAVE AN EYE TWITCH..and someone screams..DO A PARASITE CLEANSE..OH AND HERE BY MY PRODUCT..
Dr Yonit i wish i could find the right words to express my gratitude that I found your channel. I live in Cyprus and a neurologist told me i may have Pppd. In my country there’s no help no specialists. I live in this living never ending hell for more than one year. I wanna ask you many things ,but the thing that concerns me the most ,is it pppd that i feel am gonna pass out ,out of the sudden? My blood pressure is perfect every time i feel this. I wanna volunteer so they can find a cure this is a nightmare 😔
Hi Stella, I am sorry you are going through this. I would highly recommend taking my free course if you haven't already. All of my techniques and recommendations on how to heal are within this course and it is 100% free thesteadycoach.com/free-course
Dear Heart: I found you a few days ago and...the lights came on...BIG TIME.I now feel like I'm not suffering from early dementia. I have had stresses over the last 2 years (illness/COVID/long COVID, the death of a beloved soul and a life-changing move - retirement- into a beautiful home courtesy of my family. So I had both sad and joyful stresses...simultaneously. I don't wish that on my worst enemy, believe me.). I'm 20% through your free course and I now feel I have the information to bring to the medical professionals AND start to work at home on regaining my balance, my brain processing and generally feeling better about myself. I'm not going crazy. I have solid information and questions I can ask. Thank you, thank you, thank you. All Love
Thank you! I think demystifying this whole thing helps people feel a lot more in control, even before they do any of the things I talk about in the video.
You’re a lifesaver. 2 years into this dizzy journey (started 3 months after I got COVID) and I am only NOW understanding how to deal with it. Been panicking since 2021 and I have finally started yoga and parasympathetic breathing. Those 2 are helping the most
❤️❤️❤️ you will get out of this. I am so sorry it took so long to find this information.
Me too!!!! So reassuring to hear it’s not only me who says this happened after Covid. For me it was following the vaccine. Horrid
Makes so much sense to me! I can really equate to the term “neural circuit dizziness” and clarifies exactly what I am trying to explain to my doctor and optician right now. I am one of these people who nultitasks, always have and can be critical when I don’t perform to the very best of my expectations.
I am now feeling more informed from this video and do enjoy your clarity of examples as well as your sharing of knowledge.

Ive also now started doing a 10minute medication video everytime i can tell im overwhelmed and it actually does seem to help how i feel. It kind of makes me a little more in the now and reduces the brain fog, eye stress and being depersonalised. Youre truly an amazing person❤
I feel so much joy reading your comment. And good for you for pointing out that "mindfulness" can mean so many different things! It doesn't always have to look like formal meditation.
Hi dr Yo,
I believe I have 3pd or something similar, which stemmed from a marajuana induced panic attack I had around 6 weeks ago. I haven’t been right since (daily or by-daily episodes of dizziness and shortness of breathe).
I have ensured to not ingest it anymore and I have already started to feel better about myself (as I also put a lot of pressure on myself in addition to this). But I would like to ask that from what I hear, to be diagnosed with 3pd you have to have symptoms for more than 3 months. Is this true in all cases? The reason I ask this is because I read a definition of 3pd to be near constant vague dizziness and brain fog which best describes my symptoms. If it has not reached the threshold of 3 months can it still be early 3pd?
I have been to the doctor and my heart, Lungs and blood tests all came back clear.
Many Thanks
Hi Lee, so sorry you're going through that and you are not the only person I've heard from who has experienced that. It can be "neural circuit dizziness" even if you don't meet the 3 month threshold. It is important to make sure there is no medical explanation, though. You can absolutely apply these techniques in your situation. Please consider the course, it's completely free. thesteadycoach.com/free-course
So true. A great explanation. One problem is what to do with persistent spinning during sleep that actually wakes me up. I would love to get out of the "factory" and find another job. If I think, great am I not dizzy, the dizziness immediately returns. If I tell myself when dizzy to let it go, ignore, refocus, am still dizzy. I have had Menierre's for 33 years. Feels like a no win situation. I need a new ear.
I know, right?! Kathy, hang in there, I have a gentleman who just reached out to me who is setting up his coaching practice specifically for people with Meniere's. Maybe contact him and see what he offers. I don't know him yet but we're on the same page in our approach. www.badassheal.com
If you weren’t here , I would never recover from this hell. Thank you Dr yo❤️❤️❤️❤️
❤❤❤
how did you recover
how did you recover
@@timglasier5593 I tried so hard. I walked every single day although it was really tough. Im on Effexor it really helped me. But the main thing was changing mindset. When I went to a trip for the appointment I understood that when I don’t pay attention to my symptoms it will get better. I tried it and it really got better
@@timglasier5593 but don’t forget it really takes time .
Thank you so much Dr Yo! 🙏🏼 I have been waiting for this video 🙌 You explain everything so well and great tips how to move forward 🤯🙏🏼❤
You're very welcome, Sofia!
Can brain fog caused by PPPD be basically 24/7 even when the vertigo-like dizziness takes a break? With VR the actual feeling of swaying and tilting has gotten less intense, but the brain fog has barely changed and it's been the worst part by far for me.
Absolutely can be. I'm so sorry you're going through this.
@@TheSteadyCoach Thank you for replying! That's good to know.
Dear dr Yonit. Every morning the first hour(s) it seems like my unbalance is much bigger than after these hours. Like it takes time to feel more normal moving again!
Every day after a night sleep. But also when i lay down on the couch for like an hour. It takes time to get back in balance again. Is that normal when experiencing pppd? And, when i am able to recover, would this also become normal again? Feels like my head is not able to adjust like normal again after lading down for a while...and i am.only 48.🙏.
That is normal for PPPD!
@@TheSteadyCoachAH thanks a lot!!!
Abusive marriage for over 20yrs. My symptoms continued to get worse. He then would get mad because I was sick. I finally got out but still deal with the dizzy. So glad I found your channel!
I am sorry you went through this, Angela. I am glad that you are on a healing path.❤
@@TheSteadyCoach Id give almost anything to be dizzy free...to build a life for me and my child. Ive spent so much money on doctors that didn't help. I pray ur videos will help me. 🙏❤
Another symptom like Julie says in her story video is feeling like you are always having low blood pressure..(weak,fatigue,woozy) Any tips for this?
Not specifically but the fatigue ideas might help- ruclips.net/video/eLawzXnjIP0/видео.htmlsi=ktIMMbIUA8_W39ck
Always good to hear new content...gives hope❤
You've got this! Thank you
Thank you, I love watching your videos every week. I wanted to ask a question, please. I haven’t been diagnosed with “dizziness” in any form, but rather heath anxiety and trauma. My symptoms present more as physical movement rather than perceptual. I have had precious other mind-body symptoms. I have found working with a therapist to have limited effect since I’m panicked almost 24/7. I wonder if you’ve ever encountered this and have any advice for what I should do?
I’m sorry you’re going through this. Please start with the video on polyvagal theory if you have not seen that one already. Talk therapy is not helpful for mindbody conditions so it would also be worth considering with a therapist who focuses on somatics or emotions- IFS, AEDP and others help. Step 1 is going to be to calm the nervous system and there are therapists who are going to know how to help you do that.
Wow, I have been to neuro optometrist, vestibular specialist and they can never tell me why I have brain fog. Thank you . 2 years in and hopefully it will all go away soon. Any suggestions , doctor , for motion sickness with BBBP.
Please take the course, it’s completely free and it’s where I would start! thesteadycoach.com/free-course
Dr Yo, how do you feel about silent/mini strokes / microclots being the cause of chronic brain fog? Are you familiar with characteristics of these and how can we confirm or exclude such diagnosis?
The only one who can answer that with certainty is a physician. There are diagnostic tests that can tell the difference.
Always well delivered, making it easy for us to understand. Extremely helpful tips. Thank you, Dr. Yonit.
Aw, thank you, Paulette!
Another amazing video! Perfectly timed! Thank you so much. 💓
Thank you, Stephanie! Glad it was useful!
When my brain fog gets bad, it’s accompanied with unsteady wobbly movements, issues walking, and internal dizziness. It feels like not enough blood is going to my brain.
I’m fairly sure it’s some form of POTS or dysautonomia.
Does this advice pertain to me or is this more likely a physical issue that I’m stuck with?
Hi doctor, I’m diagnosed with idiopathic hypersomnia. As the day progresses, I go from being tired upon waking to feeling extremely tired. That’s when the brain fog and vertigo really kicks in (at around 11am every day). I’ve seen 1/2 dozen doctors. I’m not sure where to go with this. It’s debilitating. Great video btw, my conveyor belt is definitely pushed to the max due to my sleep condition.
Please reply me now i am ok no swaying rocking symptoms. I have hand numbness and figher tremor is this real . Pleasssssssssee say me doctor.
I am sorry you are going through this. I always recommend getting checked out medically first to see if there is anything structurally found causing these symptoms. If not, then it is neural circuit issues which can be healed. Check out my free course for more detailed explanations thesteadycoach.com/free-course
I think I've definitely been dealing with this lately. I just don't seem as sharp as before and my thoughts are getting muddled up. Is it common to also have problems reading cuz as of now thats my main symptom...its almost like i forgot how to read. My brain feels scattered
Has anyone experienced reduction of dizziness for some time after taking head bath? Is it a typical response for MDDS or PPPD sufferers? And I always feel like there's fluid floating in both my ears especially when i rest my head in an inclined position. And that sensation goes away for a while once I take a shower.
Also I get calf muscle pain when my dizziness increases.
Thank you!!! Can’t say thank you enough… you are the best
You're so welcome, Jackie! Thank YOU!
I'm not sure about this one. Maybe for some people that exposure therapy and pacing might work. But what if I have constant brain fog, that is not triggered by anything? It kind of looks like after my initial panic attack, my brain decided to shut down and for 2 years doesnt want to go back to its original state. There are no triggers to brain fog, its there all the time since then. Of course, strenghtening the workers is necessary, and this is what I'm doing, but I'm not sure if this is enough. What if the brain needs some kind of shock to the system, similar to what happened during initial panic attack, but inverse? I think this is what SSRI are doing, but how can we have similar effect without these drugs?
I think this may make more sense to you if you watch this video. Brain fog does not often occur directly after a stressor or physical trigger. The key is in the stress bucket. ruclips.net/video/SKEincksdCk/видео.html
@@TheSteadyCoach Thank you, these are ver informative. Indeed, some of that applies to me.
This video really hit home. I feel like there is hope now, thank you so much!
This channel is amazing. I’m so glad I found you! From what I gather, unless your symptoms are medically related, they are most likely fall under the anxiety umbrella, and acceptance is key?
Yes- slight caveat that I don’t use the word anxiety because people usually think of anxiety as a psychiatric symptom instead of nervous system activation, and many people who are chronic dizziness never had anxiety symptoms. I prefer to think of it as a nervous system calibration error 😊
Thanks for video. I'm really jumpy to sudden sounds but not always which is odd. Also to touch but not all. While lying in bed to sleep feel like woozy. But i tend to wakeup worried which i think it impacts my overall sleep quality even though im in bed for 8hrs or so. I also have tinnitus on one ear and feel tension in my neck at night while sleeping. So frustrated
I'm sorry you are dealing with all of that! It is quite common to have lots of other non dizziness symptoms as well. You might check out this video for some advice on what to do about your mornings. ruclips.net/video/BZVxW25uEAk/видео.html
Ive had dizziness the last two years after suffering a severe bout of vertigo. Seen numerous doctors, other medical professionals with no answers. Finding this video and your explanation is making perfect sense. I do believe this is what i have going on. I will review your videos and try and help myself heal. This is so interesting. I think this is the beginning of the end. I have a horrible time trying to get up in the morning as i am so fearful of vertigo i think my brain is creating it. Any suggestions for where to start? I definitely see a correlation between my stress level and the dizziness. Its truly a living hell. Im praying this is what i need. Thank you so much for providing this fantastic information.
Susan, yes!! The free course. thesteadycoach.com/free-course
you ALWAYS post thing that I'm currently thinking about!!
an hour ago, I was thinking about brain fog, it's scary😂 and I'm happy for this video!!
YES! I'm so glad we're in sync! I make videos based on what people ask me about, so you are definitely not alone!
in addition to dizziness i have constant head pressure. Also im even worse during weather changes and during my monthly cycle. Can this really be neural circuit dizziness?
Yes! ruclips.net/video/StYWlDFkFjM/видео.htmlsi=z0ihvZwq9Q49_GEz
Bonjour,
J’essaie de comprendre le type d’exercice, la traduction est mal faite, quelqu’un pour m’éclairer svp?
Le moyen le plus simple d’obtenir ces informations serait probablement de suivre le cours. La plupart des informations sont écrites et vous pouvez donc utiliser Google Translate. thesteadycoach.com/free-course
Is VRT exercise necessary to heal from CSD?

Great video and excellent ‘factory’ metaphor. Thank you Dr. Yo.
Thank you, Paula! I went all in on that one!
Loved it
Great video! Explains brain fog AND NCD so well.
Thank you, Lynn! I'm glad you liked it!
Alot of people Bring Up Parasites when it comes to Brain Fog...🤔
Parasites can definitely lead to health problems but I think the blame is often blamed on parasites when that's not the issue.
@TheSteadyCoach ..true..i get it if there truly are signs..But I see people post something as ..OH I HAVE AN EYE TWITCH..and someone screams..DO A PARASITE CLEANSE..OH AND HERE BY MY PRODUCT..
❤
Thank you ❤️
Dr Yonit i wish i could find the right words to express my gratitude that I found your channel. I live in Cyprus and a neurologist told me i may have Pppd.
In my country there’s no help no specialists. I live in this living never ending hell for more than one year. I wanna ask you many things ,but the thing that concerns me the most ,is it pppd that i feel am gonna pass out ,out of the sudden? My blood pressure is perfect every time i feel this. I wanna volunteer so they can find a cure this is a nightmare 😔
Hi Stella, I am sorry you are going through this. I would highly recommend taking my free course if you haven't already. All of my techniques and recommendations on how to heal are within this course and it is 100% free thesteadycoach.com/free-course
Dear Heart: I found you a few days ago and...the lights came on...BIG TIME.I now feel like I'm not suffering from early dementia. I have had stresses over the last 2 years (illness/COVID/long COVID, the death of a beloved soul and a life-changing move - retirement- into a beautiful home courtesy of my family. So I had both sad and joyful stresses...simultaneously. I don't wish that on my worst enemy, believe me.). I'm 20% through your free course and I now feel I have the information to bring to the medical professionals AND start to work at home on regaining my balance, my brain processing and generally feeling better about myself. I'm not going crazy. I have solid information and questions I can ask. Thank you, thank you, thank you. All Love
This comment made my day, it is truly my privilege. Keep us updated on your progress.
#1 thing for me that I got outta this one is practice 💡🧘 MINDFULNESS 🧘 💡 8:20
Huge help for sure!
The factory analogy is very helpful. Thank you!
Thank you! I think demystifying this whole thing helps people feel a lot more in control, even before they do any of the things I talk about in the video.
