I am 2 years and 2 months into PPPD which started after BPPV. I spent pretty much all of this time homebound and depressed. This January I had enough. I stopped smoking, changed my diet and started walking to the end of my road. I can now walk 5 miles a day and do Zumba workouts daily! I’m happier than I have been in these 2 years and am doing more. I drive without symptoms now, I cook, shower and do basic things with almost no symptoms. This time last year was so different so I’m very grateful. I feel that it was exercise that has absolutely saved me. I never miss a day. My next goal is to start the gym but I’m still a little nervous about it. I just pray that another BPPV attack (which is due around now) doesn’t take me backwards. It’s my biggest fear

@amandar614 Год назад

That's awesome and so encouraging!! When you first started walking were you pretty symptomatic? How did you increase to 5 miles? Sometimes I feel great on my walks and other days not so great (I've only been going about 1 to 1.5 miles currently) . I have constant rocking/swaying. Recently diagnosed with pppd but dealing with this for 9 months.

@100rebeccaleanne Год назад

@@amandar614 Yes, my symptoms were a lot more intense when I started and I was scared that I’d be away from home and feel really bad, so I was just walking around my road. I gradually started going further. I gained more confidence in myself each time I wanted to turn around and go home and didn’t! I think learning to trust in yourself that you can handle symptoms is half the battle. Some days my walks are 99% symptom free. The bad days aren’t half as bad as before. I used to sit down after my walks and feel those movement feelings but that’s no longer there at all. Sorry this is a long reply. I have tried to keep it short lol. It’s a long journey but you can gradually build up and lessen your symptoms. This time last year I could just about handle standing in the shower

@amandar614 Год назад

@@100rebeccaleanne That is so great and such an encouragement to me! Thankyou for your reply! How much would you increase at a time? And did you have the swaying/rocking sensations all the time before? Your so right about the fear being a big part of the battle. I'm scared I'll get to far away from my house and wont be able to get back.

Wow!!! You are Gold!! I have been battling high blood pressure/chronic dizziness for the past three months, where it seems I am resistant to medication, and all the doctor does is to add more meds. They had no clue about advice on exercise, etc. I mentioned a possibility of anxiety and stress, but I was told to keep taking the prescribed medication. I woke up yesterday after attending my med review with no resolve and decided I was just going to have to let the emergency services find me cause I am going to go on a power walk despite my BP was 183/100 and feeling dizzy. To my amazement, my anxiety and stress levels dissipated. I then did a search on RU-vid whether there was a correlation between anxiety, stress and dizziness, and BOOM !! You came through to Seal the Deal!!!. THANK YOU!! Now I got my LIFE BACK!!.

This is exactly what I need to hear. I know my symptoms are a reaction to moving around after sitting too long and my muscles are getting weaker. I have IBS pain and spinal problems which exacerbate the strange sensations and dizziness. However, I know when I have to do things with my family I push myself but feel better afterwards..except when I have stomach pain. That's when I hyperventilate!

@lynnlarsen4424 Год назад

This is great Dr. Yo. Makes a great case for strength training and helps with my personal understanding of why. I have begun this process through physical therapy which was needed for other reasons. I would like to continue but have tried looking for an ap and found it geared to a much more fit individual than I am. I would love a video from you with specifics of how to exercise for someone who has had chronic dizziness for a LONG time and needs some very basic beginnings. Ideally it would utilize simple equipment like resistance straps and light weights. Gym trainers seem to expect much higher beginning fitness levels than apply in my case. How to start?

@TheSteadyCoach Год назад

Fortunately, Lynn, the basics/foundations of strength training are truly the same regardless of dizziness. I don't think that gym trainers who are good at what they do expect anything more than where you are right now. If at all feasible, I'd love for you to hire an in-person or even online trainer who can assess where you're at and help you find ways to do this that fit you personally. If you're not ready for that, this is a routine that is great for beginners, and there are many others available! ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-RPi9aJGuRDM.html and this one is one that shows a modifier using a chair, even better if you're truly a beginner ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-D41qsrTkBgM.html

@philippegingras6282 Год назад

Another banger dr. Yo ! This is an important one. I am starting to reintegrate mountain biking rides in my weeks (once or twice). Keeping between 4 to 8km (what's that in miles 🤔 divide by 1.6 😂). Its taxing as my fitness is deep in the gutter but i feel that sway between heart pounding and leveling back down after slowing the pace. Still eveluating if i can handle the additional stress it brings on to the daily grind of work and life, but i hope i can keep it up, as it makes me happy to get out and play ! ✌️

@pumichis79 Год назад

When I feel the swaying after running, I do somatic tracking and put a heavy bag of rice on my legs. My physio told me that this sends to my brain a message of stability. I use the bag of rice at other times even when the swaying feeling isn’t present (when sitting/standing in front of my computer) to continue sending the message. Give it a try and let me know if that works for you.

@TheSteadyCoach Год назад

It’s ok Phil, I speak km too 🤣. I am THRILLED to hear about your return to biking- YAY! I really think you can handle this. This is eustress- stress that makes you more resilient to stress. Keep it up, and keep me posted.

Thanks for outlining the way to exercise with dizziness and how to use it to improve. I have enjoyed swimming all my life and was very depressed that I can not do freestyle right now because it makes me dizzy. I am walking in the water a few times a week and am building up with the goal of swimming freestyle. Any suggestions around this would be appreciated, thank you! This all started with covid in April. It was associated with high bp but the bp is coming down but I still have the dizziness but less often.

Hello Yonit. Thank you so much for your videos, they’ve been really helpful and giving me a lot of hope. I’ve been dealing with cervicogenic dizziness and the Osteo who I’m seeing also mention that is important to keep the body moving. My question is, do you have any recommendations as to avoid some exercises for cervicogenic dizziness? As to things that overstimulate the neck? I’m doing very light weight workouts and walking in the pool, but sometimes even just to walk to the gym is a struggle. Thank you for all your videos 🙏🏽

@TheSteadyCoach Год назад

Hi there! I actually think you want to NOT avoid doing exercises for your neck. If you have cervicogenic dizziness, that means that no clear structural abnormalities explain your symptoms. If that's the case, the more active you can be the better. It's ok to start slowly, though. In summary: if there are no structural issues, green light on exercise with no specific ones to avoid.

@@TheSteadyCoachI attended your live Q&A at 20k. I have been following your channel and have been a big fan of your content. It's been March 2023 my physician diagnosed me with pppd. I have more of the balancing 24/7 issue than dizziness. I met with a neurologist in October 2023. He sent me for an MRI for the brain. He doesn't seem to find it concerning. My family physician referred me to an audiologist. The hearing test came up normal when I saw her in January 2024. She was not much of help finding a relevant cause. My dr. sent me physiotherapy referral which didn't help much either. I saw my regular physio who I am going for past few years. He made me walk on a treadmill with speed 1 for about 10 minutes without holding the bar which I managed somehow at that time. After a couple of appointments he said that he doesn't treat the condition and suggested a few stretches and recommended trade mill and said come see me once you are able to walk without holding the bar on the minimum speed for 10 minutes (I have been walking on a treadmill at the speed of 2.3 and 5.5 elevation of course with holding the bar, it's been about 3 months now). My neurologist prescribed me the B12 injections for a little over six months which is ending next month. He also said that it takes 6-12 months to kick in. He has also made a request for an MRI for the neck and I am still waiting for that. My dr. has made another referral to a different neurologist for second opinion. My direct supervisor at work has been extraordinarily supportive but now he feels enough of making accommodation for me. Meanwhile, I have started with the Homeopathic medicine with my former practitioner back home who successfully treated my chronic condition years ago. He also does emotional assessments regularly. I am doing yoga for an hour daily and treadmill as I mentioned earlier in this comment. Everything I have done so far has been extremely sluggish in terms of moving forward. Do you make any recommendations for the resources on the topic you have mentioned here? I would highly appreciate it if you share some links to relevant content you have mentioned. Thank you for your selfless efforts on helping the community during their "Steadiness" journey.

@AM_o2000 10 месяцев назад

I used to be an athlete and was extremely strong and fit until I fell ill with functional neurological disorder (and associated chronic fatigue) after a viral infection. My PPPD seems to be part of the overall symptoms of FND and the chronic fatigue makes it very hard to do much exertion. The variability of the symptoms means that I tend to overdo exertion when feeling relatively well, trying to get as fit as possible, and then get hit with a 'bust' period once my body refuses to tolerate a level of exertion that was tolerated only a few days before. It's extremely frustrating.

Hi Dr Yo. Again another amazing video! I have a question about the dizziness that I havn’t seen answered anywhere. I have noticed that my memory is now terrible. Short term memory, cant remember words, forget things the next day, cant remember if something happened or im imagining it, feels like the day goes so quickly as my memory, almost like i teleport and forgot what just happened and catch myself in the moment. I was wondering could this be something that causes permanent damage to cognitive ability? Will it fully return once out of danger mode? I have noticed it’s definitely got better since the start and iv cleared some of the brain fog but just worry it could leave permanent damage. Thank you !

@TheSteadyCoach Год назад

Oh wow, you’re so right, I haven’t addressed this! Assuming medical issues have been ruled out, TOTALLY part of neural circuit dizziness- similar story to fatigue, your brain is very busy trying to manage all the dizziness stuff and that makes t very hard to process other things. Additionally- fight/flight/anxiety greatly dampen the thinking centers in the brain. No, it’s not permanent! The fog lifts as people recover.

My symptom showed up after a workout about a week post covid. The symptom can be described as a heavy head aggravated by too much motion, which then makes me feel lightheaded/heavy-headed almost like I have a hangover and on the verge of a headache. I exercised somewhat hard 13 days after my first symptom as I was feeling fine, but woke up with vertigo the next morning. No more episodes of that, but this head symptom fluctuates quite a bit during the day. I don't have a solid diagnosis yet, but I'm pretty sure it stemmed from having Covid. I've watched several of your videos - not even sure if I should call my symptom dizziness (my sense of balance isn't effected). Every time I attempt to do a bit of exercise the pressure in my head increases and I have to stop. I'm also a personal trainer so it's been quite frustrating. In addition, I'm 73 years old and wondering if I have time to recover without all the other systems in my body not getting the benefit of exercise. Anyway, I guess my question to you is are you familiar with this symptom and if this head pressure fits into the category of neural circuit dizziness/pppd. (I know it's not bppv). Thanks very much.

Curious to know if there is a relationship between Dysautonomia and PPPD? They seem to have pretty similar symptoms. Had a tilt table test done that was negative, and had 2 neurologist suggest I had vestibular dysfunction/PPPD. When symptoms first started, the gym was a place I could go to where I was never symptomatic. But now it has flipped and exercise seems to always set off my my chronic lightheadedness.

I find that the more I do and the further I build up, the more I get overtired in the rest of the day. even to the point that the basic things of that day are no longer possible, such as making an easy meal or doing the dishes. eventually I get to a point where I am almost bedridden for over a week to start again at 0. what can i change to make it work?

@TheSteadyCoach Год назад

I’m sorry Jacolien!! That really stinks. It is ok to pace yourself at first. It’s not avoiding, it’s just giving your brain and body time to catch up. Structured strength training at a lower intensity level might be easier for your brain to adapt to.

Dear Dr Yonit, i started doing pilates 2x a week. I have mainly a lot of trouble with delayed processing issues in my brain and therefore i feel off all day. But also i feel off balance when bending over or looking up (started all with bppv 3years ago). So, i did not move a lot for the last 3 years, i do almost all normal things again, but still afraid to really move my head. So...started pilates. However, since i started, (3 times i did it) i feel so much offbalance all day😢now i am a bit afraid...is that normal? I feel so much more symptoms lately...am i crazy to proceed with these kind off movement?.

@TheSteadyCoach 8 месяцев назад

It is normal! Good for you, Arianne! Your body is just responding and adapting to exercise.

Is swimming a good rehab exercise for dizziness?

@amandar614 Год назад

I used to run/jog outside 2 to 4 miles about 3 to 4 times per week before my chronic dizziness started. It was a stress reliever for me and I miss it so much. I've been walking about 1 mile to 1.5 miles almost every day now and trying to throw in a few minutes of jogging during the walk. Sometimes I feel fine and other times it makes me feel worse. Is running too much while your still recovering? Should I work on walking for longer periods/distance without feeling too symptomatic before adding in running?

@TheSteadyCoach Год назад

Do what you love and enjoy!!!!!!!!!!! It is perfectly fine to notice symptoms afterward. Your body is perfectly capable of handling this!

Hi Doctor! I was diagnosed with Vestibular Migraine. However, I found your channel giving me hope where I was not. I have a question not even my ENT can answer. I have severe motion sickness. Do I keep moving bc that’s what I am doing despite vomiting. How often do I move? Also do you know if Ozone IV therapy also help heal?

@TheSteadyCoach 10 месяцев назад

Research indicates the motion sensitivity is neuroplastic- so the solution is to push to the threshold of discomfort but then backing off. Over time, your nervous system will learn to tolerate more. I can't speak to Ozone IV unfortunately.

@cherylchavezter 10 месяцев назад

@@TheSteadyCoach thank you for letting me know on the motion sensitivity. It has me throwing up. I do a little exposure daily. I did get my results from the Ear institute after watching yet another interview you did with the doctor. All within normal limits. Mri. Ct scans. I wanted confirmation 100 percent from those test so I can grasp the neuro circuit and I’m planning to start treatment asap. Thank you Dr. Yo for all you do on RU-vid. I pass your information to my friends and family so they understand me. ❤️❤️❤️

Hi! The dizziness has significantly improved thanks to my exercising !!! but recently I have been experiencing a lot of bladder pressure. I was wondering if anyone else has experienced this? Could it also be connected to my body being in hyper alert.

Definitely- unexplained bladder issues are also common mind body symptoms.

@nicolasp.1087 Год назад

If I suffer from tension headaches with my chronic dizziness wont strength training be counterproductive? (getting more tense) Isn’t stretching/yoga/tai chi or cardiovascular activities more suited?

@TheSteadyCoach Год назад

That’s a great question. The pattern of tension and recovery in strength training (as described here- with full recovery) is actually very helpful for neural circuit dizziness even when pain is involved. Prolonged cardiovascular exercise (especially when it is intense) can be a lot harder on the nervous system because you are tense the entire time. Yoga and tai chi are wonderful but they do not produce the same adaptations. Most importantly, do what you enjoy.

@Rose-gc8og Год назад

Hi Dr yo. Is it normal with pppd that I feel tingling or pins and needles feeling in my legs ? My ent said it’s not related to pppd and I should see a neurologist. I’m going to check it but I wanted to know your opinion. Thanks a lot

@TheSteadyCoach Год назад

Hi Rose, good idea to have a neurologist check it just to make sure, but I see this very frequently with neural circuit problems.

@cherieleigh10 9 месяцев назад

@Honey-gl8gv 5 месяцев назад

I would als0 lile to add...when doing any exercises that cause a tremor such as holding a certain yoga pose or bench press...let the tremble go on! Not only does exercising and stretching release trapped tension and trauma f4om the body...so does this trembling ! After a traumatic experience we usually tremble or shake. This is trauma leaving the body. Not every bas gotten theor "shaking out ". U can even shake your body to accomplish this as well.

I love strength training, however I typically feel like my dizziness symptoms worsen a little the next day since diagnosed with VM 5 months ago (especially when I’m sore). Is this normal or should I focus more on walking instead?

@TheSteadyCoach 5 дней назад

It's normal and doesn't mean you should stop. Brain can associate exercise with danger, and exposure can help. It's also an opportunity to look at your 'stress bucket' and ask if you're recovering adequately, and if there are other sneaky stressors affecting you.

Hi, I was wondering if Pilates would be a good resistance workout? Thanks!

@TheSteadyCoach 6 месяцев назад

Anything that requires more than about 30 repetitions for the desired effect is probably not going to produce the kinds of adaptations that strength training would. However, most important is to do what you enjoy first, and as you feel better, you can add other things in.

for the past 3 years I have been suffering from tension headaches, stiff and painful neck, and loss of balance in various positions, whether sitting, standing or lying down. Over the past 3 years I have visited various neurologists, ENT and internal medicine doctors. I also routinely do physiotherapy, hydrotherapy and also strengthen my neck muscles but there are no good results. based on the MRI results, cervical spondylosis dan lumbal HNP were found. is that the main cause of the dizziness and loss of balance that i experiences??

What if I have pots and pppd. The pots makes it even harder to walk

@TheSteadyCoach Год назад

Hi Taylor, the more symptoms and diagnoses someone has, the more likely it is that this person simply has mindbody syndrome (neural circuit dizziness) and that all the symptoms are part of the same issue. Once someone has medical issues ruled out, we handle those symptoms just like any other one. With POTS symptoms, like with other dizziness symptoms , the most important part is understanding that this is a malfunction in your body brought on by perceived danger, but that your body is healthy and wholes

@johnjp5883 Год назад

Dr Yonit I've been told by an Oral Surgeon that I have TMJ/ TMD due to missing molars on one side of my mouth. And what the Oral Surgeon tells me it is because that joint is so close to many nerves, ear etc. and that would bring on dizziness, headaches, etc. My question is: Is dizziness from TMD considered a neural circuit dizziness? I'm thinking it is not but a bit confused. But either way I would think exercise / walking would still benefit me. Thank you very much!

@TheSteadyCoach Год назад

TMJD is almost always a mindbody issue- it was one of mine!! I think doctors like to attribute symptoms to physical causes when they can, but it's reaching (in my opinion) to say that someone's chronic dizziness symptoms are due to TMJD. They have a common cause- tension, stress. etc.
