Vertigo and Dizziness Explained | CHRONIC FATIGUE SYNDROME 

mine is constant, as in 24/7. It feels like death.. almost fainting but not fainting at all. Its scary, panic, frustration...

This is true. Dizziness is the big one for me and my brain knows it. It was the first symptom I got and I expect it will be the last to go. Keeping as calm as possible and getting outside are helpful.

All the tests and everything still comes back fien while youre on the verge of throwing up 😭 this feels too relatable

Thanks Miguel. I have vertigo and dizziness since April 2020. I was super stressed and while rolling in bed I experienced it which lasted for more than a minute. It was scary and since then I have been very very very scared of it. I had panic attacks especially while going in a car. I have developed balance issues and walking difficulties and can't move out of the house on my own. I need someone to hold my hand and then I walk. Yes as you said I had ebbs and flows. When I have slept well the previous night or had a good nap it improves. Exertion beyond a certain amount brings it back. My functioning depends on how well rested I am. Its there in the back of the mind. I have started responding well to my symptoms. They do flare up but I am able to bounce back faster as I see. Will be learning a lot from you and hoping to recover fully.

A trampoline! Yes! What a good way of describing it. I have thought of it as "nerve bouncing", cause its so clear that its not the muscles doing the motion. What a great video, made me feel better about the nerve bouncing (def one of my least favorite ones), havent been able to get it confirmed by other people since i havent known how to describe it. Thank you!

This content is excellent, really helpful man, I will be watching through all your videos, thanks for this info!

Miguel, this is what I meant the other day when we were live by swirling head at night and all day 24/7 for years. I called it internal vertigo, and I hate it the most!!! No one has ever said this wow I have been wanting to know if anyone else had it. It has been the strongest and most frustrating and scary of all. I am now having time without it. It's really bad when I close my eyes. When food moves in me it is the biggest trigger for it. Oh, the car thing yup back and forth up and down wobbly swirling feeling. It will go away just like all the other symptoms are going away. I am a THRIVER! xxxoo Ava "If you hate it the most it will last the longest you are so right I am going to fall in love with it from now on!! OMG this is the video to heal me ALL THE WAY I have been waiting for this moment of realization on this symptom and now I know that my brain knows what to do to get me to stop oh man I get it now!!!! AHHHHHHHH

I had motion sickness when I had Covid in August 2023. I could feel the vibration of my own steps, I could not ride in the car, browsing at the grocery store for 10 minutes is already too much for me. When I got better from Covid, the dizziness lessen, but I still feel the internal dizziness. I was just standing still and I felt like I was swaying to the side. I often stumbled when I walked. Scrolling motion on the phone made me dizzy. I was diagnosed with Vestibular Occular Reflex problem, and currently doing physical therapy for vertigo. It is the fourth weeks now, and I am seeing quite an improvement in with my ability to cope with seeing fast motion and also my balance. I still don’t watch TV and I limit my screen time. My PT said that I only need two more therapies then it is done. So, I am crossing my fingers that I can remove this one symptoms out of a handful of my Long Covid symptoms. 🤞🌻🌻🌻

I'm 22. My dizziness started in my first term in engineering. Right at the start of 2023 I was dismissed by doctors and told to "rest and try to stress less" That only fueled my anxiety because I was so sure that this wasn't normal and the only conclusion my stressed and overwhelmed brain could come to is that I must be sick. My dizziness was constant, there was no break. Day, Night in bed, shower, sofa, everywhere and ESPECIALLY outside of my house. It got worse and worse and for all this time doctors refused to do any tests because there wasn't anything wrong with my body. But I was scared for my life and fought tooth and nail 24/7 to "think my way out of it" There just was a logical solution some problem with my back or with my electrolytes or whatever. This made me overanalyze a lot and not at all take a step back that was the worst thing I could've done. I quit my job for the summer of 23 because I couldn't do it, it was too much. Moved back in with my parents, and suddenly got even more time to think, spent that whole summer just thinking and thinking and progressively getting worse and worse. Then I got in touch with a doctor in august 2023 that did some neurological and blood test and came to the same conclusion that there wasn't anything wrong. And at this point I had totally given up, there was no energy left. I thought "let's try this idiotic theory that this is just stress and if I die I die. and that's unfortunate" So i started anti-depressants to give me some help to combat the feelings that came from having no social life or life in general, and to combat the anxiety. I just took a leap of faith and decided to trust my doctors, did loads of mindfulness exercises because that was good apparently. And as hard as it was I tried to "fight" back gradually exposing myself to stuff that was too anxiety-inducing normally (it was horrible). And within 3 months I started trying to go to the gym, It was very back and forth. And at the start of 2024, I started going to a therapist in conjunction with all these other things. Fast forward to August in 2024 and I barely have dizziness anymore, I have some flair-ups but I'm confident that if I continue down this path it will get even better. It's easier to deal with if I get a flair-up every once in a while and to play down in comparison to earlier when it was constant. Some days I even forget about my dizziness and only people who have gone through the same thing understand how mad that is. So my advice to anyone in the same position, get yourself checked out to the best of your ability as soon as possible. And if there isn't anything wrong, try your absolute hardest to hold on to that there isn't anything wrong. Distract yourself, its the controlling of the fear and the fear itself that creates this upset and feeds the condition. Without a doubt the most horrible thing I've gone trough, Don't wish this upon anyone.

Miguel, love you. This is my issue. We talked about it and I am so glad you addressed it. Yes, all tests are negative. I remember 12 years ago getting a life threatening blood clot in my lungs and I have been light headed ever since. You are doing great work and a great service to the world.

You are telling g, just what I needed to hear.

I am waiting for this one because those are my prime symptoms

Thank you Miguel for your videos! I am sooo sorry you experienced vertigo for 3 weeks straight. I can't imagine. Dealing with dizziness myself and its all the time. So many tests came normal and like you said you can chalk this up to a hyper sensitive nervous system. Thank you so much for the wisdom!!

Hearing “all happy when the symptoms come” reminded me this is how you rewire the brain. This has been my approach in the program and I made sooooo much progress! We tend to forget these key elements to recover when we “get back to living life” and get into an AP.

I have had this for over 6-7 years every day all day long.

I find that going outside and get exposed to sunlight is the best solution. Just don't be so scared that you won't get anything to be done

What about BPPV vertigo? Can that be misdiagnosed or is that still from the hypersensitive nervous system?

Thanks for the shout out Miguel. I'm really thankful for the program that you've put together and all of the coaches. It's been really helpful gaining an understanding of what is happening in the body and nervous system, and learning the tools to start shifting our brain/nervous system back to health. The weekly calls and support / encouragement from the coaches and other members have been a critical part for me too!

I’ve recovered so much but the dizziness is still the worst symptom and is what keeps me from doing more. I have been working on brain retraining for a few weeks now.

Thank you So much for this Video. You Explain Vertigo Perfectly 👍 3 1/2 years of this Nightmare.. I am So Grateful for your Videos !!

I’m on my 2nd break down 3 years in. The first one was 8 years ago and took 2 years. I’m not sure why I can’t now, I feel very low though and exhausted but I definitely feel it happened again to wake me up to healing my childhood traumas and transcending my toxic ego inner voice.

This info you give is also great for anxiety disorders ....helpful to me ...thank you x

Thank you for this video.🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏

Vertigo is like being on the teacup in Disney World and they do not stop. It’s living hell.😢

i had vertigo so bad that I couldn’t even shower with freaking out and running out the shower

This was really helpful, thank you

Wow Miguel , you make me feel so much better about my symptoms , thank you so much , you literally have no idea how much your channel means to us

Im exactly in that state.. 24/7. Its been 3 weeks, no second of relief. Its the worst. I was over stressed yes.. Illegally evicted. and thrown outside with a full houses furniture and kids. symptoms started that day.. Brain fog is the worst as i have to use my head to function.

This is great! Just curious.. did you deal with tinnitus/ear ringing with your cfs? I refuse to believe it can’t go away.

Thank you for all your help 💕

yeees! im also waiting for this one 🎉🎉🎉🎉

Nice looking background bro very professonal 👌

Okay I have came back now to type a more in depth explanation on my phone so its easier. Back in March 2024 I drank 1.5 frozen coffees from dunkins (im not a coffee drinker anyway) & had some donuts in about a 2 hour span. My heart started racing and I felt like I was having anxiety so I laid down for a minute but it wouldn’t go away; I tried taking a warm bath but felt like I was going to pass out. Called 911 and everything checked out fine; I had SOB & Chest pains from then until about end of July. Chest pains went away but SOB stayed & on came lightheaded (like im going to pass out) & dry mouth as well as fatigued. Shortness of breath has since gone away & dry mouth isn’t there nearly as bad but the Fatigue & Lightheadedness is insane. Its all day every day , no stop in sight. What can cause this? My cardiologist said everything is good , my pcp said everything is good. All my tests are normal including Magnesium & B12 . Please help someone. Life isn’t even enjoyable.

It's so difficult to make the switch. But I'm trying my hardest. What does not help for me was my therapist saying I'm just too much of an avoider since I have long covid symptoms. She thinks I'm able to do about everything. I tried and ended up in bed for two weeks. The misunderstanding feels very hard!

Nice Video!

I got this now

Is there any way I can contact you or we can have a coaching session or I can speak to you over the phone about some of my symptoms I've been dealing with thanks

I have chronic fatigue for 5 months now. Don’t feel energy, always tired, cant concentrate much, brain fog, headaches (not that painfull, but especially the eyes, left eyelid always tingeling), heavy sleep disorders. But i can still move, go running, do some gym work. It is much more demanding, but I kind of force myself to it. Dont feel worse afterwards but also not better. I also have low libido for months, is that a common symptom. I made all blood checks, everything fine, but still feel so off! What would you recommend?

can you please explain the symptom of brain fog in a video ❤❤❤❤

Im exhausted all the time and get dizzy when walking or driving. If I lay down or sit down I am fine...

How do you deal with the insomnia? I have so many symptoms and I'm literally bed ridden, but I can't sleep. Not at night and not in the day either. I'll be lucky to get 2-3hrs of sleep on a "good night". I'm constantly feeling shaky and being woken up with adrenaline dumps. Do you have any tips for insomnia??

Thanks for your explanation! I do not have CFS but I got POTS symptoms after having Covid 5 months ago (extreme vertigo and incredibly high heart rate). Right now I am at a level where I still function quite well. I started to take more breaks and do more relaxing activities but I am still in my quite stressful job because I am still able to without my symptoms getting worse. Do you think you can only calm your nervus system and recover when all the stressors are taken away? That would mean I will never get rid of the symptoms or I have to wait until I am physically unable to work any more…

From my thinking, my amygdala limbic system is expanding and keeping me safe from previous anxiety stress, and this is my challenge to calm this back down it's dam hard, I'm walking in busy places or driving in traffic or on a moving elevator I will get the symptoms so bad it stops me from functioning its a totally over reacting brain that needs re training.

This thing is disturbing me too much. I don't know what to do. I am unable to walk properly and it's making me useless as a man. It's so sad. I can't stop seeing everything around me rotating and making me unable to walk normally without holding onto walls.

Can the dizziness be constant? Mine is. My balance is always off. I got rid of it once with neurofeedback but I broke my leg, the off-balance came back and neurofeedback didn't work again.

Have you ever tried oxaloacatate?

I’m having dizziness and lightheaded and fatigue pls help

Hello- I am interested in your program but can it actually help someone like me? I have the symptoms you’re talking about but I have been diagnosed through blood tests that i have reactivated ebv, chronic Lyme disease, mold toxicity and heavy metal toxicity. I have been disabled for going on four years now- do you think your program could help someone like me and have you been able to help people like me?

For a few weeks I’ve been symptom free and then BHAM… got vertigo (that’s never been a symptom for me since CFS diagnosis and bed ridden 2 years ago… but 3.5 years ago before I was bed ridden I did get a mild case of vertigo which back then I just disregarded and continued with life). I feel as though as I’m recovering I’m almost reliving a reverse of symptoms of how I got ill…. Does this even make sense… anyone else

Do u have a recovery cost?
