Do THIS to heal from PPPD and chronic dizziness (stop focusing on symptoms and get to the source!) 

I have been battling non stop dizziness for 8 years. I just found your channel and the words thank you do not say enough. I have had 36 MRIs over the course of the years, spinal raps, POTS test, heart tests…. I do have vestibular weakness in both ears and basically was told to deal with it…. Your videos have given me hope and more information than all my specialists combined. What you are doing for people is life saving. For what it’s worth from one person…. Thank you.

I never comment on videos, but this one has moved me enough to say a sincere thank you for the work you’re doing. I wish I could have known about you 6 years ago when I first developed completely debilitating PPPD. I had been in the dark about how to get my life back and tried countless medications, relaxation techniques, PT exercises, and lifestyle changes, but really am only starting to see improvements now that I decided to work with a psychotherapist. I went there simply to deal with the despair over being chronically ill and am finding that, just as you said, resolving my issues with self-neglect and inner turmoil is actually the cure itself. This video will potentially save many people years of suffering and I cannot say enough how thankful I am for this information that validates my healing journey.

You absolute angel, I cried watching this, you have just described my entire life, I have been a people pleasing doormat all my life and my pppd started after 4 years of intense stress.. thank you ❤️

I am new to your channel, but wanted to say that whenever you say that this is curable, reversible, I feel like I have a new outlook on life! Thank you!

Dr. Yo, you are a gift to those of us who have experienced long term chronic dizziness. All that you speak of is in line with what I’ve been discovering. I’ve let go of the multiple diagnoses and am now working with the nervous system. It’s deep, beautiful, life-giving work to take the road of self compassion. Thank you for advocating for true healing and loving us through your work. I am grateful also for your commitment to accessibility. ❤️

I think I have to listen to this over and over again. Thank you 💐

Thank you...I need to listen to this over and over. You give hope 🙏🤟

First time and i have heard from someone who knows what we are going through. Thank you ❤️

Thank you Dr. Arthur for making these videos on chronic dizziness and PPPD. I've used some of the techniques you've suggested in your videos and I've been living without PPPD for more than 3 months. Before that, I would be too scared to drive, not knowing when I'd have a PPPD episode; but now I don't worry that much anymore. You've hit home in this particular video in terms of the correlation between being emotionally aware and dizziness. I've noticed that when I'm more aware of my emotions, my stress is contained, thereby reducing my dizziness. Once again, thank you for your videos. Please don't stop making them.

I like that you give analogies, suggestions, solutions and break things down and explain things. Very informative videos. Thank you

Wow. I think I will just put this video on a loop and watch it over and over! So much good information. And it really resonates with my situation.. PPPD. I tried all the things you listed and more… meditation, diet, vitamins, chiropractic, acupuncture, etc. etc. They might be good but they clearly have not been getting to the root of the problem. And what you are saying makes so much sense. Thank you so much for taking the time to make these videos.

Thank you dr Yonit , from Colombia, I have been suffering from vertigo and dizziness for four months, at first I thought they were panic attacks, then I didn't know if it was a heart attack or cerebrovascular accident, then I understood that they were caused by high levels of stress in my life, Thanks for your videos, I will follow your advice.

Dr. Yo you’re the best, I pray God blesses you abundantly for your selflessness in giving these videos to those of us suffering 🙏🏼

Finding your channel was one of the main factors for me on my way to accept that my dizziness/swaying etc. is NOT coming from my neck/jaw what I was thinking for 12 years! I developed PPPD in the first place at the age of 16 and recently got the diagnosis at the age of 29. I want to give hope to all other people suffering from PPPD: I already recovered completely 2 times during this time span even without knowing what was causing my dizziness!!! Both times the key for me was to accept the dizziness as part of my life and it got better and better until some day it had disappeared completely because I somehow "forgot" it...I had periods of several years where I had no symptoms at all. Unfortunately it came back 2 times during stressful times in my life but now as I began to accept the diagnosis and more and more understand what is causing/triggering my dizziness I'm hopeful to completely eliminate the dizziness this time! I think your videos are extremely helpful on the way of recovery and I'm really grateful that you share this knowledge and help so many people! Cheers from Austria 😊

You are so caring and I love your straight forward approach. You have helped me take my PPPD recovery to the next level. Thank you so much!

This video is so amazing. I believe this is where the source of my dizziness lies. On the path to healing.

Great explanation once again. Learning I have a lot of buried emotions because every time I watch one of your videos about it, I become teary-eyed.

You do an amazing job of describing exactly what ‘neural circuit dizziness’ is and I use what you’ve said to better help family and friends understand what I’m dealing with. After having the full range of tests to rule out any physical damage it can leave you feeling a little hopeless about anyone really understanding this invisible issue. Thanks Dr. Yo!

You are a blessing from heaven. Just bought your book also. Thank you thank you thank you. Love from Sweden❤

Hi you actually just said the most truth I’ve ever heard. It’s like you were speaking to me. I’ve struggled with chronic dizziness as a “neural response” to vertigo attacks I’ve been getting as a child and every year of my life forward. The things you said about “people who have chronic dizziness often are people pleasers, perfectionists, don’t have their own voice, are so kind but not to themselves…” wasomd blowing. This is me in a nutshell and I found myself get dizzy the past month due to saying yes to certain situations that I did not want to say yes to. Wow brilliant work

You are wonderful for doing this. Happy holidays!

All of this is absolutely true. I am on day 4 of post cruise land sickness and it has totally set off my OCD heath worry. Reading things about MdDS lasting a lifetime has really got me going 100 mph. Hearing this just reiterates all the work I have done in the last two years working on self compassion and working on being grateful to myself. I have no idea how long this land sickness will last but If I make the CHOICE to be kind to myself, I will be able to not make my symptoms a personal Hell. Here is hoping it goes away but in the meantime I am here for me. I will help me deal with this. This "Fluffy Stuff" works. Thank you, Dr. Arthur.

You have helped so many people!!

Since I found your videos, I started working and stopped giving my symptoms the time of day. They arise, when they do its usually from stress and a signal for me to sit down and ground myself. I want to thank you so much for helping guide me on my path to healing! keep doing what your doing! ❤

this is exactly what I needed to hear

You hit everything spot on. I was just recently diagnosed with PPPD. I’ve been dealing with this chronic dizziness and unsteady balance feeling for a few years now. It would come and go throughout my life, until recently it came back into my life and has been sticking around for almost 3 months now. It’s never done that before so I finally did some research and found out about this disorder. I’m so grateful I found it because I brought it up to my doctor and she didn’t even know about the condition but she agreed that she thinks I have this. She signed me up for physical therapy and I also started a CBT therapist. It’s absolute misery living in the unknown for so long without any answers. I’m so grateful for your videos I was crying throughout it with happy tears. This condition needs to be brought more awareness because entirely too many people suffer from it in silence. I can’t begin to tell you how grateful I am for your videos and your help. They are an absolute blessing thank you!

Thank you for your his video. For me it’s an answered prayer. God bless you

Amazing as usual ♥️

I was told by GP that i would just have to live with the vertigo, dizziness condition . Having come across your blog gives me enormous HOPE. It can be treated. Thankyou

Wonderful again! Thank you so much. Listening to your advice in these posts and in your course, and putting it all into practice this year, has stopped my symptoms. I still have anxious thoughts often, and have had since childhood, so continue to work on those, but they have not induced dizziness symptoms for a couple of months now. So I am one very happy and grateful person :)

Thanks really helpful, I am stuck in a rut because of past and long stress. Your comments are so true to me. John in South West Wales UK.

This is brilliant and so so helpful, thank you

Hello Dr, I love listening to you, and you truly make great sense. I don’t get dizzy….but I feel like I’ve been traveling and I have not! I have been on cruises when it took a few days to rid of that rocking feeling which I so disliked! I was diagnosed with early stage ovarian cancer in 2021 and had abdominal surgery, was told there was no cancer found but the pathologist did discover cancer and I received that information 2 weeks later. It felt like a hot flash went through my body! I then told my husband who handled it very well, we will get through this! 🌹💯 I had chemo for 6 months, during the pandemic so I was alone for the abdominal surgery, and my husband was allowed with me only for the first chemo only, so the remainder of 5…I did alone. The first one was the easiest but the reaction was the most disastrous, the poisons came out of my body. Some medicine changes were made the following chemo’s and how I responded was better. Still difficult of course…I did get peripheral neuropathy in my feet, hands. I’ve been clear of cancer for 2 years. The swaying started the end of my chemo and is staying with me, also internal vibrations which are getting better, so that’s HUGE PLUS! I thought it was related to the neuropathy but maybe not…there is hope with you and your message I need to apply and ease into slowly. I’ve learned to say NO. When I’m not up to going out to dinner, plus we just cancelled a 3 week cruise, I’m not comfortable being on one out of the country. Short trips in the USA are fine, a week the max. …I am one of those nice people you were talking about most definitely so I can relate. I even turned down being honored by the American Cancer Association after saying yes…it was wearing on me. I let them know. I’m so proud of myself. It’s too stressful knowing I have to attend, not knowing if I’m able…I’m honored that they thought of me, someone else like a doctor can be honored! Thanks again for your dedication to us who are struggling…. With much appreciation…Nancy ❤️❣️🫶🏼 Fosternancy@me.com

I have had PPPD for just over a year and like so many people have tried so many different things. Finding your channel has been a godsend and I eagerly anticipate any new videos. Your approach really resonates and I have found the somatic tracking particularly helpful as well as the general advice. Whilst my PPPD symptoms are fairly standard (whatever that means!) I also get occasional bouts of proper vertigo (room spinning when I turn over in bed etc) and I wondered whether that was something that was common in your patients with PPPD?

You're amazing thank you 🙏

Thank you so much for your rare and considered understanding to these conditions, currently trying to deal with my second(though much more prolonged)bout of PPPD so i'm having to follow your advice closely this time round. My condition resolved itself quickly when i got it several years ago but this time round it's quite locked in after kicking off again about 8 months ago!

You are a genius!! Thank you very much for this video, it’s really helpful!!!

I too Never make a comment on videos. But this one has really moved me and change my opinion of what I’m doing! Thank you so much for redirecting my thoughts.comment

Such great information! Thank you

Very sensible advice , thank you. .

Thank you for the work you do. You have made me realise I was a high achieving, non resting, always tense, anxiety-riddled person. I work as a vascular sonographer, so my work is my outlet. After trauma from an emergency chemotherapy and stem cell transplantation for MS (worked great!), i developed dizziness/PPPD as a trauma response. I have gone from 8/10 dizziness to 1-2/10 dizziness by ignoring the symptoms and keep on moving (weight lifting/ working/raising kids). I need help shifting the remainder but i don't know how to get in touch with my emotions/ thoughts to calm my nervous system

Thank you for this video!

wow life changing stuff right there

I’m struggling so much . Thank you

I’ve been diagnosed with chronic vestibular migraine and PPPD as of recently - I’ve had a chronic, continuous ‘migraine’ for nearly two years now , having never previously experienced migraine, headache etc. I have had so many treatments from my neurologist, as well as referral to audiologists for testing and a vestibular physio therapist for excursuses which is have now been doing for a year with no changes in my daily symptoms. It feels very hopeless often, thanks for this video it takes a different stance on this illness

Hi Dr. Arthur. Male, 44, from Ontario, Canada. Found you recently and trying to play catch up on your content. It's a long story full of medical problems, multiple anxiety disorders (big one being severe somatic symptom disorder) and depression type diagnosis' after years of different psych tests, even a cardiac arrest in 2020 and much more. And a few months ago an ENT diagnosed me with PPPD. I've done years of therapy and various medicines to try and heal my mental health but I continue to feel like the ground is unsteady, off balance, and not just in my head. Its a full body experience which even my mouth and speech become affected. I could go on and on but I wish there was a way to connect with you because I feel if you heard my story, you'd be blown away that one person can experience so many things, but I'd also love to hear about your opinions on some people being more sensitive to things than others. I'm convinced i feel things more than other people do, not just physical sensations but every little fluctuation in mood, sensitive to what people say, things that happen, and so much more. I could tell you stories of things I'll feel and how many doctors scratch their heads and make that bewildered face, admitting they've never heard those things before. Just one example, while I'm working out and playing sports, I can actually feel liquid coursing through/around my muscles, and if I push too hard it can sometimes lead to full body, multiple muscle cramps for an hour. Like an all out attack for 1 hour with many muscles cramping. Doctors have run so many tests and are baffled, and said I shouldn't be able to feel the actual liquid moving. I can give so many examples of this. Would be interested in being a subject of yours for a podcast or video if you think after listening to my story you're interested in discussing further. In any event, besides chronic pain, I'm also going through chronic unsteady feelings but they abate from time to time. And I'm trying to follow your approach to mind body, de stressing but I wish I knew exact order to do things. And yes, I've also triied vestibular therapists/therapies. Thanks so much for helping others as well as listening and hope we can connect!

Dr.Yo, many thanks for sharing your wisdom with us about this theme. As I've already wrote a comment on other RU-vid of you that unfortunately I couldn't find it to reply you back. But here it's the update, sadly I had dizziness ,nausea and vomiting almost for ten days . I was practicing your compassion scan exercises and of course pray to Jesus Christ to heal me. And praise to him, he did. I have could to go outside today to enjoy the sun and even could to do shopping after 10 days. I encourage you to ask Jesus Christ to heal you. He is a true healer. All glory and praise to him

I have had 24/7 dizziness for over two weeks now. My PT is clearing an apparent horizontal canal issue, but my eyes are having issues and my anxiety is out of control. These videos are such an amazing source of hope. I have chronic anxiety and some unresolved trauma that may be getting away of my recovery.

I’m crying .. holy crap

Thank you❤ All The Way from Denmark❤ i’ve had dizziness 24/7 for nearly 6 years and it’s still there. I live with a baseline of dizziness everyday. Mine startet with a huge attack of bbpv and after that I have a baseline of dizziness that never went away. Also When I stop at a red light in My car, sometimes I feel that the car is still mooving. I’m SOooooooo glad that someone recommended your Channel to me🙏 OMG you are truly an Angel 😘😘😘 Do you know any vestibular practitioners in denmark or sweeden?

Hi Dr. Arthur, Today marks 2 months since the dizziness has started. This off kilter feeling that could be compared to tilting, with brain fog and light and sound sensitivity (never felt spinning). The first two weeks were hell, while the third week had symptoms really ease up while on a trip with my family, to them all coming back in week 4 just as they were when they started. The second month of this has consisted of me going into these periods of 4-5 bad days where symptoms really don’t change, to then around 2-4 good days where the symptoms are not gone but just so much more manageable. Every time i have good days it feels like finally maybe this time it will all go away. It’s feels like i’ve had 6 relapses already in 2 months or “extinction bursts.” I had testing done at a hearing and balance clinic with results coming back saying I have possible utricle and saccular loss on the left side, and some left beating nystagmus. Does this mean I went through a neuritis? I am not too hung up on the diagnosis to be honest, as i understand the recovery from a migraine, pppd, or any of these disorders will be similar. I just do not understand why I am going through this good day/bad day cycle. Waking up and realizing you are going through a relapse is the worst feeling, i just don’t understand why mine are so persistent. It’s very hard to find people who are going through this same pattern as me. So i guess I am just reaching out to you to ask if you have any thoughts on what you think may be going on with me? your videos have helped tremendously in terms of hopefully preventing this from forming into a neural circuit issue if it is not a neuritis. Regardless, thank you for everything that you do!

Thank you for this

A great video, I wish I can receive the help some people are getting. I live in Scotland as a single parent and am struggling to wake up and survive … no one has any idea of this PPPD .. such a crippling diagnosis to have. I have tried everything and am now at the end of my rope.. I’m praying to get better not just for me but for my children. If anyone reads this and can help or have any suggestions I am open to them as I can’t go on like this …..

Hello Dr. Yonit, I am wondering what your opinion is on focusing/imagining how you want to feel (instead of focusing on symptoms) when facing triggers? I find that when I do this technique, I feel more calm and steady. Do you think this would increase danger mode? Would this be considered “avoiding?”

Wow, thank you so much, this is the absolute best explanation I have heard, great video, thank you ! I have a question about diagnosis. I had tests ran about 7 years ago by an ENT. He said no abnormalities and this was anxiety. He prescribed anti anxiety meds which I no longer take. I have chosen to deal with the anxiety without meds. I am improving as I work on the anxiety. Do you think it's necessary to go through the testing again ( it sucked, big time!) But it's been a long time. Any advice? Thanks.

Thanks for this very helpful video! I was dx with MS and then within a year dx with PPPD. It’s been an awful 18 months between these two conditions. Would your recommendations still be applicable to someone with both MS and PPPD? Thanks for the feedback! 🙏🏼

Hi Dr. - I recently came accross your channel, thank you for the work that you do! I've been struggling with balance and lack of coordination movements....been on a 5 year medical journey of diagnosis....I was recently diagnosed with a rare progressive neurological syndrome called CANVAS - RFC1. I am searching for information to help me deal with the symptoms....I was told no cure!! Thank you!

I enjoy your content! I have PPPD and vestibular migraine and have done exceptionally well using Effexor for both conditions. I am also trying to incorporate your training in my practices to make sure I dont get into a problems again. I heard you mention that you have a similar view of chronic pain. Where can I read more about that?

Thank you once again for another fantastic, helpful, reassuring video! Accepting neural circuit dizziness is definitely hard- I do accept that this is what it is now but in moments of horrible symptoms and feeling bad I have the what ifs and it’s taken me a long time to accept that it is neural circuit and reversible. Sunshine, better weather and getting in the garden definitely helps me sooo much so I’m really hoping we’ll actually have a nice British summer!! Also, when you talk about trauma, is it normal that my trauma was labrynthitis and a day and a half of vertigo episodes that I had that seemed to get me stuck into this pattern and not a ‘big T’ ? One thing that resonated with me though is in your course you say something like ‘your dizziness developed before you stayed dizzy’. When I look back at this, it’s so true and I can name several events where I had NQR feelings in the past but didn’t pay them any attention and yet the event of an ear infection and vertigo got me actually stuck because I was so terrified something was wrong? I’m still getting there, good days and testing days! Thank you again for your support x

This is a great video. Do you do one one one session with patients? Is so I would really like to discuss this with you.

Since the start of the year, I've been having 24/7 swinging sensations , tinnitus, and sudden eye movement. :/ Had done MRI and many tests and came out good, but in one, it turns out I have cervical kyphosis. Don't know if that's causing my problem I'm scared to do things now. I've lost confidence in doing my old hobbies. Can't even take a mile walk

Thank you!!!!!!

So I am a little confused. Should I be doing the exercises you recommend in your other video where I am doing tracking and saccades? Or should I just focus on the things you discuss in this video?

Practicing self compassion asap 😏🥹

Hi, tanks for your video's! Can PEA suplement help with nerves regulation?

Thank you so much for all your words. Listening to you Feels good. I understand everything you say, only the implementation is so difficult. I only have the problem when sitting. As soon as I sit down, I have the feeling of floating, fluctuating and rocking. Always! What can I do? But if I sit on the bus or train, everything is gone. What is that?

thanks

My symptoms come and go, and they have changed SO Much since I had VN last year. Even then they came and went making me think they were gone for good then BOOM right back. I think this was Neural circuit from the get go honestly. I went through a few days to a week with very minimal symptoms around 2 to 3 months into it, thinking i was recovered then I did a BUNCH of working out that brought them on, not knowing at the time this was NORMAL, i freaked out and it started a cycle of stress and anxiety and I believe thats why my symptoms then persisted changed, coming and going almost daily or several times a day. Now i just have some heavy headedness, neck strain {I think thats causing the heavy head sensation which doesn't bother me at all] and a slight feeling of movement in behind my eyes /forehead or nose or ears its so hard to pinpoint it moves around so much. It often tickles and sends shivers down my spine {usually at times when driving and moving my head ]so I move my head to cause it to happen LOL Im trying to enjoy the sensations but sometimes they are just so annoying! I think I am almost recovered. They have really let up the last couple months, I describe them as a "shadow" of movement but i notice when im driving and need to move my head the sensation will happen or when company comes over they tend to be more persistent for a bit. Even good stress and excitement bring them on! Im glad I found your channel it explained everything that Im going through and helped take alot of the fear out of it, fearing the fear made things even worse then I realized, fear is normal! Its just my BRAIN being afraid.

I know this is going to sound strange, but the main way I got over my PPPD was with the use of earplugs. I was having terrible brain fog and disassociation (this was after dizziness) and my biggest problem was I couldn't seem to trigger my symptoms to get rid of them. One night I tried doing my vestibular training with earplugs in and bam! I started to feel better immediately. I am not sure why this happened, but it was the last little thing that finally put me to full recovery. I hope this helps some people if they are struggling!

All this I can relate to since childhood being in an alcoholic family and then in a abusive marriage; this has worn down my immune systems as well. I was diagnosed with chronic lyme disease and POTS. just wondering what your thoughts are on pots? Thank you for all you do!

Me gustaria contactar con la srita Sonia. Ojalá y se comunique con los hispano hablantes. Gracias dra. Yonyt.

I have PPPD. I am taking anti depressant but for my general anxiety and it also helps me dealing with PPPD and I can do everything I did before expect for a few things like standing up in metro.

Thank you so much for making these videos. People like you make this planet a better place. I have had PPPD almost one year now. I started after I moved with my children from one country to another (a lot of stress and worrying). Every day I focus too much on my dizziness/lightheadedness and try to find solutions and explanations using google and "experts". I have had a crazy childhood that showed me that life is not very safe, and I tend to take more care of others more than myself. Now you motivated me to try something new: Take care of myself, worry less and look at the solution within instead of depending on others to heal. My anxiety is trying to teach me something: I need to find "balance" in my life. I also deserve my help. Thanks again.

Hello dr yonit, Was i was diagnosed with vestibular neuritis, but was there a reason why all the vrt exercises i did wasnt really making me dizzy at all.

Thank you for this. I believe I have pppv. I war fist diagnosed with bppv but I never had nystagmus so I believe it was pppv all the time, or maybe started with bppv. The thing is I also have muscle twitching and bilaretal tingling sensation in my face (forehead and sometimes cheeks). Is it still possible for me to have pppv even thougt i have some neurological symtom as well?

@the steady coach I have been living with different varieties of vestibular “dust bunnies” for nearly 30 years so I have lived a life of avoidance and adaptations. In that case would exercises be important to help your system “remember” how to, say, sleep on my left side, or look up. I have avoided these (and other things) for so long my VT wants me doing exercises and exposure to help retrain my vestibular system, but I do have a lot of emotional stuff too

This is a great video but often my symptoms are bigger than life. My education is engineering, not social sciences. I lack the advantage of a proper education to deal with this. At least once a week my symptoms flare up and I look at my spouse and cry uncontrollably. I’m crying as I write this because my head hurts so bad. All of these dos and don’ts make me more confused. Do I do this or that and what happens if I do this and not that. I’m so scared.

I'm really sorry for commenting on your question again, my name was Kaito. I've been wondering for a while now (probably largely because of the translation that I don't understand), but the part of this video that says "reversible", is this different from saying that even if the vertigo is cured once, there is a risk that it could come back again? Sorry for the inconvenience, but I would appreciate an answer.

My dizziness started after I suffered from panic attacks, severe fear, and constant anxiety... It got worse when I used the computer. I felt extreme stress and heaviness in the back of my head and a feeling of pressure on my chest because I work as a programmer and that requires more focus ... The symptoms also get worse when I go shopping or to public places or Driving .. which made things worse. I didn’t know what was happening to me. I became more afraid and anxious as I did several tests and nothing showed up. There is a medicine called Betaserc that helped me a little, and also Lexapro, but I did not recover completely. I would like to thank you for this valuable information, which You will help a lot of people

I can't believe there's a channel dedicated specially to PPPD and the coach is so enthusiastic. PPPD has completely disrupted my life since last 3 years. I felt dizzy for the first time in July 2019 while watching my favorite sports team loose in the world cups, second time it happened when I had a massive argument with one of my employee and the third time it happened while I had an argument with my gf. I was highly stressed in those months. The fourth and final blow, when it became persistent and never actually left was when I was sitting on the computer screen for 5-6 hours straight, overworking myself since months. Now it is persistent, I have gotten all my ENT done, eye checkups done, Brain and Spine MRI done, but nothing came out. Funny thing is, whenever me and my gf are on a break, it goes away, and the moment we patch up, it comes the very same day. This happened twice, for a month in September 2020 and for 3 months in last quarter of 2021, that I was completely stable. How come being with your partner cause dizziness. I finally started taking dizziness very seriously, have started with vestibular exercises, CBT and planning to start with anti-depressants too. Dizziness really spoils my mood, I was already a hypochondriac, now all this. I have become clinically depressed because of the constant persistent dizziness. I feel floaty when I step out of the elevators, motion sickness is there, or being in the sun, or too much of screen time and of-course arguments, they all provoke it. It is very mild, but it clearly spoils my mood and pushes me into depression. What do you suggest?

@thesteadycoach what about shame and regret? Also, being hard on myself. Also my husband left after 32 years which I think created a greater sense of danger (although honestly it is good that he’s gone).This didn’t start my problems, but a couple years afterward I started experiencing worse symptoms and have struggled from being housebound (complex bilateral BPPV in the mix) to likely PPPD and vest migraines. And I cannot work. My VT wants me doing exercises because for several decades I lived in a state of avoidance of certain activities and positions.

Thank you. I’ve been studying mind body and Psychophysiologic Disorders for several years and finally getting to the heart of the issue. I learned about you from the interview with Dan Buglio so I started listening to you and I love your clear communication and you resonate with me. You’ve helped put a few puzzle pieces together. I have been diagnosed with dysautonomia, mainly temperature dysregulation, POTS and post prandial hypotension. When you talk about dizziness are you including this cluster of symptoms? Thanks again for your video. I’m off to do some journaling and then I will watch and learn some more tomorrow

Thank you for your reply. I thought that one-on-one instruction would be better, but after considering the financial issues involved, I decided to purchase a $12.99 membership membership (is that correct?). I wanted to ask as many questions as I could in the Q and A of the (I didn't see it on your URL page)Is this still okay? I apologize for your suggestion. Also, I would appreciate it if you could tell me exactly how to pay the fee.

My dizziness started when I was driving randomly, and I thought nothing of it and brushed it off. Then one day. I got sick and passed out and then kept getting dizzy spells. I saw several doctors and they said I was fine and that I needed to get therapy for anxiety. Which is true because I have a lot of past traumas (my brother died) and I'm always in a bad relationship. I've been on a journey for 3 years now trying to figure out what is wrong with me. I realized I was forgetful and not good at being a parent like other moms. I have a hard time finding my kids clothes to wear and doing chores. Everything is a struggle. I thought I had ADHD but they tested me and said no its not that. I think I really have like PTSD or some kind of trauma thing where my brain just decided it can't handle life anymore. Last time I had to drive out of town it was hell. I couldn't see the road hardly and my eyes hurt a lot. I am going to get my eyes checked for BVD next week. I know you said glasses are not the solution, but I will try anything at this point. Oh yeah but now that you mention it, I am a doormat and I do things out of fear of avoiding conflict. I don't want my husband to get mad or upset so I just do whatever he wants. And he is critical of me about a lot of things, meanwhile he is an alcoholic and addicted to weed, but if I ever criticize that, I'm the monster. I don't do any drugs or alcohol, I am completely sober, yet I can hardly drive at age 38. What a life.

Hi Yonit! I'm trying to join the community but all my 3 cards were "invalid" or not working for no obvious reason. Couldn't find any contact info or way to reach out about this. I'd love a pointer on who to contact about this problem.

Me 100%, have bvvp and anxieties brought on from long term bvvp and husband dementia. Should you consider short-term sertraline.?

Excuse me, I would like to ask you a detailed question about my dizziness, but in that case, should I become a paid member and ask in the Q and A that you have once a week?

Dr. Yoni, I have pppd 24/7 and am very scared that it will be permanent or that I will get worse. On this I have anxiety and a symptom and is a trigger for anxiety. How can this be fixed? I can still walk but with constant dizzines it's hell. Should i do VRT?

Thanks so much for this video. Do you ever get pushback from clients because you’re telling them that everything basically started from an emotional response, and not a physical/medical condition?

Also my headaches and heavy head feeling worsens when lying down, is this part of pppd please?

Hello goodmorning .....I was doing so good and then all this week out of know where i've had stiff neck and clicking in my neck in my cervical area and intense off balance with off/on headache......😢

Hi can you please help me… I have been suffering for 4 months when this all started I felt like I was swaying, the floor moving when I walk, head pressure, and dizzy but more inside my head… I had a migraine attack when I couldn’t look at light and smell and sound was bad .. this went and I am not left with constant imbalance the floor feels like a trampoline when I walk or like I have missed a step.. I and bobbing up and down sometimes when I am brushing teeth. I still get head pressure and ringing in my ears. But when I am in the car I am fine in motion.. I get the boat feelings sometimes when standing and sitting. What could this be? Am told migraine is it also PPPD? My remaining symptoms are the same Walking movement , sitting boat feels, laying ringing in ears, and head pressure on and off. Thank you . Please help!!

I had a concussion 4 years ago and i started all this symptoms of dizziness, tinnitus, fatigue, imbalance, headaches, visual strangeness... i had 3 setbacks (am on the 3rd one right now for 5 weeks, recovering). I did all the possibls tests, blood, mri, reiki, acupuncture, nkthing seems to address it. Would you concur with the idea that the concussion might have triggered a neural circuit disorder as you call it and thzts whzt i need to address? I fsel off myself, brain fogged, etc, but i cant discover whats wrong.

Last year in march I had a panic attack and always felt like something is wrong with me after that. I became hypochondriac and was afraid that I had a serious illness and that I would die at any moment. It became much better now and I can handle my Anxiety way better. However, the dizziness has always remained and I truly believe it is PPPD. I started doing the VRT exercises and now I'm kind of worse. I've been extremely nervous ever since and even have muscle twitches. I got my first panic attack in the car when I was driving and when I drive now I have exactly the same feeling as then, which I haven't had for a long time. It feels like a Déjà vu, exept I dont get the panic attack. Can this come from the exercises or is it more of a psychological thing?

Hi, my dizzness start a few months after my second birth. Its been hard. Iv done MRI, ENG,FT. The RNT dr. Said it might be pppd. Not sure, they did see a slight movment with my eyes on the ENG or when the Dr shock my head. Im a young mom and some days are very hard, i feel like my head is crashing down. Have you seen true healing? Or the dizziness is not so bad? Im going to give this a try.

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

For about 3 years I have not felt normal. Ever since my senior year of high school (2019) I have felt off. That year I took two edibles both adding up to 150 mg of thc, and ever since then I have been feeling different. I had two stoney patch edibles and keep in mind this was the first time I was high in my life. I know you can’t directly overdose on THC or marijuana, but I don’t know if this excessive amount of THC especially for a beginner has something to do with the dizziness and vertigo I still feel today. The months and time that preceded this were some of the lowest points of my life as the dizziness and vertigo was unbearable as I was struggling both in school and while participating in basic activities I love such as working out and playing soccer. I could barely get any sleep as I would feel as if I was constantly rocking when laying down. Whether I was standing up, sitting down, or running I would constantly feel as if I was floating and as if the room and other things around me were constantly moving. In addition, I would have constant headaches and my head would feel like its spinning along with a constant beating heartbeat while I ran and was active in any sort of way. During this time period I had countless visits to the neurologist, ENT, and had done scans in the beginning and nothing unusual had ever seem to show up. Nothing unusual ever came up based off the results and I felt as if there had to be something wrong. Fast forward a year later (2020-2022), my past ENT doctor diagnosed me with vestibular migraines and I took medications like topiramate and other migraine medications. However, none of these medications had produced any significant improvements. However since the start of this all, I have seen some natural improvement as the beginning of this could be described as constant vertigo and dizziness throughout the day. Currently, I am doing better with my dizziness and vertigo, however, it still presents itself often. I play soccer at a competitive level and it has made participating in the sport a bit harder than it was before all of this. For example, when I play and run I begin to feel dizzy, light headed, and my brain feels like it’s bouncing with every step I take, especially when I’m running. I don’t know if this is PPPD or something else. Some mornings my neck even cracks a lot when I look up and I can hear my ears ringing when I flex my jaw. When I flex my jaw in the morning I can also feel it crack in my ears. This is also in addition to cracks I feel in the back of my neck when I move it in the morning. Throughout the day however these problems with my neck seem to go away, but the dizziness and vertigo is always present when I am either working out or playing soccer. Sometimes I do feel weird when I move my head up and down or side to side. I wonder if this event caused PPPD and because of this my brain still feels as if something is wrong and is trying to fix itself, hence why the dizziness and imbalance is present. If any would could help in any way by giving recommendations or advice it would be much appreciated! I am currently taking Neuratec for my dizziness but nothing has seemed to change or help.

I'd really love to journal through all my emotions from the last 8 months of this 24/7 unknown dizziness, but writing is triggering, so are computer screens. Any ideas on ways to journal that won't trigger? Id prefer to not just speak it all out (speak to text) because writing is a different type of therapeutic release than speaking. Thoughts?

Hello, where are you located? I have vestibular damage and visual snow syndrome with chronic dizziness. I’d like to work with someone who has experience with all of my conditions.

I play d1 soccer and had a concussion back in August, a month and half after my concussion I passed my concussion protocols and i dont even get headaches or migraines. I had mri and blood work done and all came back normal. I feel as i am floating, feel anxious and almost feel as i am not in my body. Big crowds also get me lightheaded and feeling weird. Im not sure if i have PPPD . I just started doing PT today.
