Stop chronic vision symptoms WITHOUT exercises (visual vertigo, jumpy vision, patterns & moving) 

I was just sitting on my couch this morning feeling deflated and wondering what my next step to healing would be. I have been doing VRT and eye exercises with no real noticeable changes. I have had this feeling, for a long time, that my eyes were bringing on most of my dizziness feelings and anxiety. I turned on my computer, and it was as if you were listening to me. Everything you just described about symptoms in big spaces, small spaces, patterns, screens..... all me. This has been going on for so many years, and even though I would tell myself there is nothing to fear, I am safe, nothing I did ever helped. It's always the anticipation of doing something or going somewhere that gets me. Worrying about if it's going to be a bad experience. And since it's been 14 years now, my brain really is set in predicting fear for everything I do. I mean everything! Even showering, or feeding the dog. Sorry if I am rambling, but I feel it helps me to let some of this out. It's a lonely place when you feel stuck in a body that doesn't work correctly. I just wanted to say that the timing of this video couldn't have come at a better time. Thank you.

From someone who has suffered for almost 5 years with no diagnosis, acceptance is key. Push forward and never give up 🙂

First of all what a topic! Everyone (including health practitioners) did not believe me when I was saying that I have persistent visual problems. It is very scary as well to have trouble seeing things because that's the first alarm for the body to panic. It is also very reassuring to hear that exposing ourselves to the daily life will help these symptoms go away. Thanks again Dr Yo!

I have been suffering for a very long time with this issue. I have come to a conclusion, there is no end to it. All I can do is manage it, and IT CERTAINLY IS a VERY, LONELY PLACE. Headaches just don't go away. I have ruled out every single thing. It is a software glitch in my nervous system. No hardware issues.

Thank you for another amazing video! If you do have these symptoms along with chronic dizziness and “maybe” a medically explained reason. I have a sinus blockage in my entire left side of my face from a tooth infection. Anyways I have surgery scheduled Tuesday after months of suffering but my question is could you have both dizziness symptoms from the medical standpoint and also have them exacerbated by anxiety about the symptoms and will all of these methods still help in this situation?

Thank you for mentioning BVD! I was “diagnosed” with BVD a year ago, did 4 months of vision therapy and tried 3 different prism glasses, all these were hell and made me feel so much worse. Until this day when I have a bad day I question if it’s because of my eyes after all…these doubts are the hardest to move on from. I really believe that doctors are trying to do their best but these diagnoses they give us with dizziness make it that much harder to recover. They just put dozens of ideas into our heads and we have to fight those, too. Nowdays when I’m in doubt I watch this video of yours and it gives me reassurance. ❤

how many people with pppd feel nauseous 😢

Finally, 7 years waiting for help and someone understands me

This is why lm unable to get back to work..l work in a dept store in a shopping mall...its difficult

This is really the only remaining issue I have. For me, it’s open spaces with hard floors and I believe it’s because when I first got dizzy, I noticed I felt off in the kitchen initially and then had my first true dizzy episode that was more vertigo in nature during a walk on a road. When I think about it, I believe I now get anxious in these spaces because I initially was scare I’d pass out and hit my head. I don’t know how to get past this and get my brain to go back to normal in these spaces. I have a hard time understanding the balance between avoidance and over-focusing on symptoms. What would you recommend? Would somatic tracking in the kitchen help? I’m so ready for this last piece to be healed and gone.

In 2010, I started having a feeling of being off-balance and feeling like I was going to fall. I have struggled being in upper levels of shopping malls as it feels like I'm getting pulled towards the open areas; bridges, especially if they aren't enclosed; hills; and worst of all... driving. Sometimes I would be okay driving but sometimes I would feel like I was getting pulled to the side and like I was going to fast. I also started limiting how far I would go and wouldn't drive anywhere with hills or where I wouldn't be able to pull over. All of this started after a really stressful six months. It's limited my life so much. Just starting to watch your videos, Dr Yonit, and hoping things will change. Thank you for all that you do.

Thank you Dr. Yonit. My question is about driving. Are we endangering others and ourselves while having symptoms and if so how can we make progress then?

19:44 This was really really helpful and have been going down the rabbit hole of doctors and tests and so on….I am a performer and vocalist and for me on stage has been a bit tough with lights, movement of people as well as myself it’s more of like a gravity feel and light headedness. I have been going to PT and VT and it has helped but I’m still struggling with the slight vestibular headaches and it still make me feel off…I’m also dealing with perio menopause. I’m consistently challenging myself and still perform but still have some issues and truly want to just perform again with out thinking. I’m really hoping I can get this to subside so I can deeply get bad to what I truly love. Any suggestions on any particular therapy that would help the emotional side ? Are there people who understand this kind of therpy ?

Another remarkable video from someone who truly cares. You're a savior to many.

These visual symptoms will cause me to feel motion sickness at times

Big open spaces is a weird one. Feels like I need to hold on to something.

I’ve been struggling with PPPD symptoms for ~6 months now and I get what your saying about sending safe signals instead of worrying/anticipating the dizziness, but if I automatically think about being dizzy in a certain place what should I do?

its rather incredible to hear my exact symptoms spoken aloud. The other day i was in the hospital. i thought i was having a stroke! turns out i have "non bppv nueritis" though through my recent research, my symptoms are in line with "upper cervical dysequilibrium." i have a physical job, which has me outdoors, and constantly moving. I am not afforded any real length of time for recovery, so i have gone headlong into getting a handle on this. I do the vestibular exersizes to strengthen the neck, and proprioception, and everything will settle down, and i will feel a moment of normal, but as soon as i go to the grocery store, its like a light switch of confusion is turned on. I suddenly cant processes everything before me, and my eyes dont know where or how to focus, and then like a jenga puzzle, the rest of my balance collapses. What i take from this video, is that the anxiety that this induces feeds back into the symptoms in a death spiral. i will next try to go back to the supermarket and just be at peace with the visual noise, and hopefully this will resolve. wish me luck.

Hey Doctor. What if your VNG showed abnormalities?

You are a god sent for those of us suffering with these conditions. I’m always squinting my eyes while walking and turning my head as it makes me feel a bit stable.

Not a full medical explanation yet but ENT specialist gave me Vestibular exercises. MRI scan 24th March. 8 months in maybe 4 continuous varying unsteadiness. I’m getting increased unsteadiness at work viewing screens, I’m an accountant unfortunately so my job is using screens. There are bright natural lights in the office. Phone light and IPad light affects me as does bright sunlight. A lot of stress with a divorce as well. Trying to use Somatic thinking does help a bit as do exercises but I’m regressing with screen use during week.

Thank you so much for these videos Dr Yonit. I'm currently working through your free programme after getting diagnosed with VM and subsequent PPPD a few years ago, it's been hell but your videos have given me some hope. One of my issues is I know that my current living situation has contributed massively to keeping my nervous system disregulated. Unfortunately, I can't change that situation anytime soon, is it still possible for me to heal despite this? 😥

Thank you, Dr. Yo! I was wondering, from your clients, do you ever hear the following: I have a specific sensation in my eyes when I try to focus, and it’s worst when using a laptop. All I can explain is that when I focus on something, my eyes have this uncomfortable sensation - almost like wearing the wrong glasses, even though I don’t wear or need them! I can use the laptop for 6 hours, but I will have this uncomfortable feeling. Generally, the worse the feeling is, the more nausea/headache I’ll experience. By the end of the day, the feeling will persist and last into the evening, even when I stop focusing so intently. Does this fall into any of those categories? I should add that I have VM and interstitial symptoms, so daily. Thank you so much!

I've recently been diagnosed with ptosis and have a procedure to tighten the levator muscle in both eyes. I'm medically cleared from any other conditions, but my dizziness, lightheaded feelings persist. I'm hoping this procedure will help me, but I'm doing the breathing exercises and talking to my brain and telling it I'm safe.what do you think about my eye situation in relation to my problems with dizziness and feeling like I'm walking on a trampoline? Thank you for your help. I appreciate you.

THANK YOU DR. YO, I won’t give up on FULL recovery and i believe EVERYTHING you have said is correct in my own situation. I have NOTHING wrong( in fact my body@69 and my lifestyle are stellar!!) except for a very long time of crisis.. trauma’s and a break in 2018 plus GAD. And I did have MANY root issues to also work through with my childhood. Now… in my 4 1/2 year journey to recovery facing it ALL, I am seeing some progress. It’s slow and intermittent. Up … and down. I also have an EXTRA complication of a stressful “ living” situation that has kept me anxious and fearful. I have to deal with this as well. I have been looking for housing for a very long time as I am a senior on a very small SS. That part continues to be elusive … but I still search. I’m always 🙏 for an opportunity for me and I set an internal intention to move , and continue to believe AND work on this recovery. I apply everything I learn here and I still have dips and some difficult days when my body gives me a hard time. It’s been a lot at 69, to overcome all the effects of this one symptom. You have given me strength to keep going and I also find Jim Prussack VERY encouraging. Thank you both for your guidance. It’s PRICELESS to me

Sounds like your advocating a Behavioral Therapy approach. Which all makes sense. Agree we are wired by our traumas or those perceived to be in our early development minds. A repeated inner voice mantra of calm combined with breathing work wonders. Good luck everyone.

Hi Dr Yo! I still get this a bit, more so with screens at night. If I look at writing on my phone sometimes I can still see lines briefly when I look away. Same with the tv, not all the time. On a positive, when I have these odd weird things I ignore it, I now don’t react and it doesn’t really last. It doesn’t set my panic off anymore. After over 2 years I have FINALLY got the confidence back to do the uk, NHS ‘couch to 5k’ running programme that I completed in 2019. Im on my 5th week now and whilst I won’t say it’s easy with my anxieties over everything, I am SO glad I’ve made the step to do it. Thanks again for your fabulous videos and support 😊

I'm so glad I came across this video. So it started out with fluid in my ears from allergies summer. Started out about the beginning of July and I'm still having dizziness but it feels like the fluid is gone. I've been having a lot of stress with my twin sons that live in my house. They turned 21 and have been going out drinking and fighting and getting trouble. almost on a daily basis something was going wrong. I get really dizzy every time they would stress me out. Things have calmed down but I still struggle with dizziness. I've been trying to figure out what is wrong. I think I had symptoms for so long and all the stress from them that my brain just needs to rewire.

Thank you Dr. Yo. The computer gives me problems and sometimes the grocery store makes me light headed. I had successful cataract surgeries about a year ago but I feel I am dizzy sometimes as I am still adjusting to my improved vision. I use glasses for reading small print and my distance vision is 20/20. Thank you so much for your help.

Thank you so much for this video. I’ve been struggling with both PPPD like symptoms and visual vertigo (jumpy vision/moving objects/visual snow etc) for about 10 months and this is the first time I truly feel validated. I’ve started the VRT exercises and will try and incorporating your other points to help in alleviating the more visual aspects of this horrible disorder. I know it may be a hard question to answer but I was wondering if some of your patients had visual vertigo symptoms that are 24/7 or without any particular trigger? And if so, were they eventually able to recover? I’m hopeful that I will improve. Even if it’s just a little bit as life has turned completely upside down since the onset.

Thanks Dr Yonit! You are a true Gift to us. There are so many levels to all of this. Stress is always the under lying issue for me. Your videos are very helpful. I appreciate all of the hard work that goes into the videos! You give us Hope. The eyesight issues has always been the worst thing for me. I kept telling my doctor, my eyes are just out of whack. All of these topics are helping someone out there!

@Thesteadycoach does it make sense to talk to your brain about what you are going to do (sitting up, going on a walk, going to church) and tell it that it is a safe and normal activity? I know we are told to tell the brain the symptom is safe but, if you are driving and it comes on then you’re not safe. Alternatively would we we tell our brain that the signals it’s receiving from the body are safe (so it won’t create the symptom in response?) thanks-gotta do a lot of driving tomorrow.

I had anxiety since 2022 with lots of physical symptoms.But now Im facing severe vision problems like visual snow, eye floaters, light sensitivity and most scary is the negative after images means when look any things its negative images is saved in eyses for few sec then slowly disappears ,I always feel like not in physically but visually that everything is moving Im experiencing theses sym 24/7 for about one year continuously and when I walk after walking I experience visuals everything is stretching movong inwards when looling something please guide me ?

Hi Dr. Yo, I stumbled upon this video and I am very intrigued by your theory. I get motion sickness symptoms whenever I view video/TV, visual motion of any kind, and flashing/flickering lights. I have been diagnosed with Vestibular Migraine. I have been like this for over 15 years. In your opinion, do i fall in the category of having a central (software) problem, and might I benefit from the ideas in this video? I have not done formal VRT, but I easily get sick when trying any such exercises.

I have the problem that I look at at stable objects and they are moving like shaking like bouncy vision. I also have anxiety. Should I go to the eye doctor?

Do you treat patients in Canada

Can these start even without any previous physical causes?

Hello, I’ve got a question, do you have a lot of patients that also have eye floaters? It’s not the kind of visual symptoms you mentioned but I’m thinking as it can be annoying and stressful and potentially considered as a threat by the brain, is it possible that it may keep it in danger mode? Or at least participate in triggering dizziness, among other reasons. Thank you 🙏

What if everything you do is to avoid stress so your minds not on the anxiety and other symptoms constantly. At what point do you try to face your stress or try to avoid thinking about it all day I’m having trouble with a balance of that, between watching your videos all day to learn more about it and constantly thinking about everything or trying to take my mind off it by watching tv, exercising, playing video games etc but just being anxious that I’m not doing the correct things to recover at the same time. I’ve had chronic dizziness for 8 years and just leaned what I had this month I constantly thought it was just in my head and afraid I was going crazy since doctors made it seem that way. I had a panic attack after I smoked weed I was walking home staring at my phone And looked up and completely lost sense of reality and got so dizzy i couldn’t walk since I was confused on where I was and how I was already almost home. I know this is a lot any feedback would help! Also maybe a video of a daily Routine to have a good balance of dealing with recovery and having time to relax and take your mind off things. Thanks Dr Yo!

What about blurry vision or seeing what I think is referred to as "visual snow"? I also have photophobia... sensitivity to light, even with my sunglasses on, it bothers me...all shades in my house are at half-mast during the day...and it stinks with the spring and summer seasons on the way...( I didn't even start out with any visual stuff, it just seem to gradually come on as my brain tried to operate under "the spell" of dizziness for so long ..and all became chronic...ugh. Miserable. Just pushing through my days now, trying to pay less attention to it, but it's ever present despite my efforts to stay engaged in daily activities...I have no grace anymore, and am embarrassed at the way my gait has maladapted...l truly wish I could report something more positive. Officially on my 7th month now....and never really did get any sort of clear answer or explanation from my Drs..so I gave up on that route.

This may sound crazy but I felt like VRT was causing me to become too vision dependent with the exercises and constant concentration on it. After a month in therapy, I am starting to get so much strain, what felt like pulling and just overall fatigue from my eyes. I can feel pulsating behind my eyes and you can physically see my eyes restlessly moving when I close them. Sometimes to the point of making me sick, it’s the worst symptom I’ve had to date. Driving on highways is incredibly difficult as well as I get the same type of “revenge attack”. I’m not really sure what this means outside of a hyperactive nervous system. Would it be helpful to take a step back from VRT for a while? During sessions my symptoms are slightly elevated but when I return to everyday activities is when I really struggle with my eyes. And I understand symptoms can get worse before better but to what extent? I am not able to get out of my bed on a bad day I feel so sick

God bless you for what you have taught me. You have no idea how incredible you are. God is great and you are awesome

Thank you for this video. I have imbalance, diziness and very often nausea and lack of energy. All of the symptoms came together. Is this one or 2 issues? Is it possible that nause can be part of diziness? I have thes,problems for 3 years. I had many tests, gastro, neurological, vestibular..

Interesting video. Certainly some good points and a lot of guessing. But overall I believe it's the same problem everywhere we go. Why are people not getting much help?, because we are neglecting the spiritual side of things. Always thinking it's a mind over matter issue or physical issue, past wounds and heart and soul that never have been healed issues , We never think there was a spiritual connection that has been disconnected. And I'm not talking about yoga. But I am talking about getting on your knees and praying to God and asking for Mercy and peace and forgiveness through Jesus Christ the Saviour of the world. It seems to have worked well for the last 19 centuries and now all of a sudden. Since we have forsaken the Bible and God we have a lot of problems. My personal opinion develop a personal relationship with God Almighty through the Savior Jesus Christ. He's never failed anyone that put their faith and trust in Him. My opinion and my opinion is as good as your opinion!

Hello, how can we stop hypervigilance of dizziness symptoms..like even if I am doing fine it is always on the back of my mind and then it pops up. please make video on how to reduce persistent palpation symptoms.

What are your thoughts on jaw joint function and dizziness? I am dizzy when I move my left eye and jaw issues is one thing I’m exploring as the cause

Dear Dr Yonit, do i understand it right when i say: i feel this delay sensations ( processing problem) all day long with every move i make, just because my brain is in a.constant state of danger mode? So, i mean, not only just because my brain prediction a situation that is going to happen, but also because i feel anxiety for the symptoms all.day long? Do you mean that this hyperstimulated body amd mind / brain that i have at the moment, can cause this processing problems? Just asking because i was not sure if you mean this. If you did mean this, than i can understand why o feel this all day long😢

I was trying to run to the bathroom and crashed into the TV and now I've got migraines dizziness visual problems neck problems bruises from crashing into stuff pulled muscles from trying to compensate and redistribute my weight catching myself when I'm falling how did this happen where did it come from because I'll tell you what I've seen three doctors now and all I got was an article to read a video to watch and a freaking pill that doesn't work! I am pushing for an MRI on account of the pressure in my head is ridiculous I can't even walk anymore because I can't stay upright! I'm also tired of people asking me if I'm drunk so I decided I'm going to get a t-shirt made that says not drunk have vertigo. How and why did this happen and does it ever go away?

Hi, thank you for four video. I've had dizzy spells for 1.5 years and fluctuations when walking for a year. Only now has it been discovered that my eyes are the problem. Do I have to live with it or does it disappear with vestibular exercises? I’m desperate….thank you

Was rushed to er 2 years ago spinning for 8 hours they put me to sleep woke up next morning in a room since then my balance been off I use a walker when I go out yes the car rides are the worst now TV some times was checked like you said they have no answers yes visual now so glad I found your channel was at the start said it was BB pv.but now I feel my eyes and when I turn my head side to side 2 years now still can't drive.please help ty.

thank you for important video my question is how can i make deference if my vertigo is due to neck problem or visual problem

In this video, you mention having already done a video about problems with light. I looked for a link in the description, but I couldn't find one. Is there any chance you could point me in the right direction?

Does anyone feel dizzy when they move their arms or legs or even diaphragm? My workup has so far been normal

all of them things apply ........feel like brain isnt accepting what i see , fast moving things such has tv switching fast from one thing to another

It’s not easy when you just wake up some days dizzy I can’t find a stressor and now I am worried to go to sleep because I will wake up dizzy

Best regards from Panamá 🇵🇦 I already received the free course. I will review it this weekend . What' you are describing here is just what's happening to me Thank You very much

Do you recommend SSRI use for 3PD anxiety and nuerplacisity? I have one treatment center that says yes, the other no. Thank you for all that you are doing to help people with your videos.

I was doing good for last 3 months then today at work all of a sudden felt dizzy and now feel like I am back to where I was. So aggravating going on 4 years with this on and off but never really feel normal anymore

Thank you for another extremely helpful video!

Can these start even without any previous 17:44 physical cause?

Hi Dr Yo, I’m not sure if you’ll see this or if you can help.. I feel like my vision is hypersensitive to stimuli all the time, and it never ceases. I struggle in any environment (even just walking around at home) but particularly supermarkets and watching television etc as I’m so sensitive to the motion of movement around me. My symptoms actually started a few months ago as just being visual (foggy vision that felt ‘off’, delayed vision, only getting overwhelmed in supermarkets at that point). I then developed tension headaches, pressure in my head and then finally a dizziness that came on for a short burst only at one point in the day (around lunchtime). I then became more afraid of these symptoms and it increased to then feeling swaying symptoms at night. Now it all feels 24/7 where my legs feel weak and unsteady, and everything around me feels visually intense. My Drs keep telling me it’s just anxiety and I’m currently signed off of work right now. But I’m feeling really lost and don’t know what to do or where to start. This all started after a got married in December and I’m feeling a bit hopeless as I can’t quite figure out what’s going on and what treatment I should seek!

Can these start even without any previous 17:44 physical cause?

Can these start even without any previous physical cause?

Hi Dr Yonit I have a question. I have had oscillopsia since my chronic dizziness journey 2 years ago after a COVID infection. Dizziness is much improved but my visual disturbance persists. I can’t really pin point to any triggers as it occurs very randomly throughout the day even while doing the things I love. Is it possible to have loss of VOR long term? Thank you!

This makes so much sense

21 years ago I was initially diagnosed with Meniere's. Several years later another ENT doc diagnosed me with endolymphatic hydrops. I used to get spinning vertigo every few years, then would progressively improve to about 90% of normalcy. In 2023, I developed BBPV, it's chronic, I cycle every other month of visual disturbances, imbalance, tinnitus, etc. Definitely, our fears exacerbate the situation, I get dizzy from getting upset or anxious anticipating going into a store. Your psychological approach is a wonderful therapy that helps ease the fear. Thank you.

Thank you for this video

What if you showed 42% nerve damage in a VNG report and have had chronic symptoms for 2.5 years ?

I very recently had a diagnostic of cervicogenic dizziness. Does this kind of dizziness could be one of the neurocircut dizziness? Because I have visual symptoms and visual snow. Thank you!

I'm a Kaiser member and every physician and therapist I have visited do not recognize PPPD. They have no diagnosis for my symptoms. I guess a lot of us go through this. I get more help from youtube podcasts like you.

I've had vestibular problems for years and years and years. Nothing has helped!

what if the balance/dizziness/light headedness/headpressure is 24/7, even in the comfort of my own room?

So, what I hear you saying is that if you have vision problems like: gaze stabilization issues, or tracking issues or trouble like with eye teaming, that vision therapy would be indicated BUT that it wouldn’t probably solve your dizziness issues. Yes? I did a lot of vision therapy after a brain injury and the therapist said that yes, if you have eye teaming issues (3-D) that it can create dizziness. I found that my exercises in the computer would sometimes make me feel bad especially if I was already feeling bad. I’m just wondering because for me it seems that there are actually issues with my eyes like when I am reading my eyes will “flip”:off of what I’m trying to read and then flip back. This happens whether I am dizzy or not..

Hello can I ask a question 💖 my ENT specialist says I have pppd but this week he told me that the VNG exam showed that there does is disturbance in my left vestibular organ. He said it's due to vestibular neuritis that happened back in the February. I feel the disturbance only on that side too, but I also have a feeling of confusion in my head when I make a lot of turns for example. I do make some steps forward, first I also had hearing sensitivity, but that is gone. I do not avoid that much things, but I have extreme tiredness. I feel like I am forced to hold back all the time. I do excersise (dancing helped me big time to get my balance back!) and drive. Shopping, doing my household are big triggers. It's when I get tired, I get dizzy again. Does this physical disturbance I went through still mean I can have pppd? I also have diabetes type 1 and it slows down my healing. Today I am going in a kids summer camp and I try to tell my brain : I love this and I love all the people involved. I can do this and I want to do this!!

Finally, someone said the thing I have been having, but no one seems to understand. I have had a few dizzy/light heded and vision issues. The one that has worried me the most is the slight delay in attention when i move my head or eyes. I see what im looking at, but my brain takes a moment to catch up. Finally, having something I can have the doctor look at and get checked out. It's so frustrating to try and describe this feeling to the doctor and see their faces. Just get more and more confused, telling me im not making any sense.

Dear Dr Yo. I went driving 1.5 hours on the highway. I am doing a bit better on pppd. But, my visual problems are more in the front last months. I can drive, i can see everything clear. But, because all is moving i feel this constant sensation like my brain is not processing everything at the right speed...this gives me pressure sensations behind my eyes. When i arrived i felt like 30 minutes that i stopped from moving fast to being still. A bit out of balance in my head. Than, the rest of the day afternoon till evening, i feel this pressure/ weird sensations like my brain cant catch up quickly what i see..when walking the dog later, also when looking around me. My eyes are checked. And i feel like i CAN definately see fine....but its just the processing that gives me such a weird feeling in my head. Makes me afraid of being very different than other people. So, my question is, do you recognise anything off my story? Am i weird? And, most important, do you think these visual symptoms which i describe....are they also because of stress/ hyperfocus/ anxiety because i keep on checking if i still feel this and being afraid of it? So...if so..if i can finally start to believe this is the same as all other tms stuff (pppd, anxiety of pppd), and if i finally dare to believe this also can recover when my brain gets out of danger mode...would you think this will be normal again😓😔🙏

I was suffering from dizziness all of a sudden in March and my eyes started hurting , I couldn’t focus on doing near work so I visited the ophthalmologist he said my vision is fine and ik something was totally off then I went to an ent he saw that my eardrum was ruptured entirely (left ear) and I have to get a surgery done and apparently it’s been there for too long but I never had any symptoms and then later I went to an optometrist and she told me I have convergence insufficiency so it’s possibly because of the ear right ? And now I have constant eye pains , headaches and visual disturbances and also a feeling of movement in the back of the head probably because of the crystal moving in the ear .if I get the ear surgery will my eye issues stop?

What if the symptoms sometimes are triggered when u acyually are not even thinking about it or even 8n places u are confortable, and not having nothing medically wrong with ur vestibular system?

What about if you you have difficulty seeing patterns eg, vertical lines, circles, also seeing flashing lights and visual snow etc.

800am. that makes sense out of my dizziness. Thank you. Part of this video describes me perfectly. I have come to some of these conclusions recently. I thought there was a disconnect between my eyes and my brain

I can’t read a book and have very sore eyes but I have noted if I am feel completely calm nothing worries me I can read a little and also read my ipad but if anything happens like an argument or someone is mean to me I feel for no reason I get uptight and the eye problems are worse

After doing more research and talking to my new Dr, I think we have figured out what is keeping my symptoms going. Low levels of the neurotransmitters (serotonin, dopamine and norepinephrine) they act as hormones. I have almost all of the symptoms and how to recovery is the same thing you are saying on here.

What tests do you suggest are needed to rule out eyes and vestibular? Ive had a hearing test, regular eye exams, ent check of sinus and looking in ears, brain mri etc. Is this enough or I need to do more?

When you say visual vertigo does that include nystagmus? Can it resolve with the same techniques?

If a source of stress is say a negative parent you live with how can you address this? Is it just recognizing that the person is a source of stress and telling yourself it’s ok to be stressed by them and you are safe? How do you address other forms of stress or stressors?

i've also noticed that while chewing whatever is in my vision also gets jumpy

After a double concussion and BPV’S 3years ago I have ended up with 3PD. Am in PT at the moment and recognise that stress and childhood stresses are attributing to my visual disturbances, which have ramped up since my dad and dog died within weeks of each other a year ago. It has been recommended by a specialist that didn’t know that I have 3PD that I try EMDR which I have just started but is this a suitable modality given my visual disturbances and 3PD motion issues. Am really nervous to do EMDR for these reasons

@TheSteadyCoach You mentioned that if you try VRT and the exercises kick up your symptoms then you should be doing it. Can you help me understand the underlying reason why? Is it essentially to expose ourselves to the body/brain reactions and work on our adaptation to the discomfort? I have been in a living hell with many symptoms for years, have been doing VRT with a Chiropractic Neurologist, have moved the needle in some ways, but what I've seen on your channel and the beginning of your free course also makes a lot of sense to me. I'm a little stuck in this in between zone of understanding what you are saying and trying to phase out some of my Neurologist visits, but also if you are saying that VRT is good for someone in my shoes I'd like to accept that and have a game plan. I appreciate your time in responding.

Hello thankyou for this video but I have one question, I’ve been diagnosed with vestibular migraine and I did VRT for 6 weeks, the vrt Heavily brings on sysmptoms in particular exercises where my eyes focus on something and I move my head, for 6 weeks I still had no relief maybe a bit less dizzyness but I still have the same aura dizzyness and vestibular migraine symptoms, any suggestions or thoughts??

Thanks very much for your videos about vision 🙏🏻👍. Do you know if eye floaters also can be a symptom of visual snow? It is described also as a symptome, I just wondered why you didn't mentioned it ? 😅 Best wishes 🍀

At 11:20 are you referring to SSRI’s for the “medical treatment” and that the SSRI only addresses the circuit? I recently read a medical research paper that stated: ​​70% of people were alleviated with an SSRI. It says SSRI’s alter and regulate the conductivity of neurons through the central vestibular neurons which respond to movement. So I’m assuming a really good way to get cured might be to follow your methods but also give the SSRI a try at the same time. Your thoughts on this would be much appreciated.

SOOOOO HELPFUL ❤

Thank you so much for your videos, they are so helpful ! 😍 I have a question for you, is it possible to have PPPD, but to only feel symptoms in the « head » ? I don’t feel the ground like a boat, or sensation that people described in their « legs ».. I have more visual symptoms (it’s hard being in a restaurant or a supermarket), could this still be PPPD ? And also it is worse when I put my glasses on (I have myopia), do you know something about it ? Thank you so much in advance ☀️

Is visual snow / static in vision also common with PPPD?

Yes, I’m sure my problems are stress related from a long time agp.

Dr Yonit, i was wondering, could you explain this; everytime after sleep, in the morning or a nap in the day, i really need like an hour to get better balance? Also when i am sitting for a while, everytime it takes time to feel more steady again! When i am busy doing stuff its better. But every time when i am not moving or am laying down for a while i need time to get "back in balance" ... i dont understand why...or what to do about it...or will it also recover when i recover from the pppd...(loose the stress/ anxiety, get rest in my brain).... ps sometimes it is like this all day long...like there are little weights than left, than right in my head ....it makes me feel like this will for ever be with me😢😢

Great podcast

Please, who should diagnose VOR issues ? Which doctor? Thanks!

This is my long lasting symptom, yesterday I went to a bar and there were lot of chairs tables, fences, it doesn’t make me dizzy anymore but I feel off and very very tired in my eyes and head. I had to leave and go back at home and take a nap.. is this common and normal? Should I go in places like that more to get used to it faster? Even when i do my VRT I always get tired in my head and eyes, not dizzy anymore. Do you see that often?

I'm doing vrt now
