For everyone with vestibular issues. There are ENT specialists who specializes in vertigo. Which is the same thing as vestibular issues. And there physical therapists who specialize in vestibular issues/vertigo. That is what helped me with mine. I haven’t had it for years until just recently it came back.

Dear Charles,
We don’t know of any studies regarding vertigo problems and viruses. Hopefully, you can get in touch with a PT who specializes in vestibular issues. They would be a good resource. In the meantime, wishing you the very best!

Dear Kathy,
It sounds like you may have several things going on which can be so frustrating. As you said, the hardest part is not knowing when the symptoms will go away. It’s good you are working with a therapist for your vertigo issues. Hopefully, they are a specialist in this area. The changes in speech and shortness of breath sound unrelated. Be sure to discuss these symptoms with your healthcare provider. I wish we could offer more help. Keep up the slow steady progress and don’t give up on exercise! Wishing you the very best in health and happiness!

Dear Ann,
Your question is a good one for your PT or the doctor who prescribed your vertigo medicine. If they give you a green light to exercise, practice the movements from a seated position for safety. Start with fewer repetitions and slowly work up. Don’t do anything that makes you feel dizzier than you already are. Hopefully, you have a PT who specializes in vestibular issues. If not, seek one out. This is such a specialized field. It’s important to be working with a professional who has experience in this area of treatment. I’m sorry we don’t have a more direct answer to your question. Good luck with everything. Wishing you the very best always!

Dear Peggy,
It would be best if you visited a physical therapist, someone specializing in balance and vestibular issues. It’s important that you get to the bottom of the problem and identify the cause of your dizziness. Along with a diagnosis and treatment plan, the PT will likely provide you with take-home exercises. The sooner you are able to see a specialist the better so you can minimize your risk of falling. Wishing you the very best!

I have been in Therapy for over a month now. I have pass most of the exercises, but when my therapist put me in that machine, and when that plate started to move up and down from heal to toe with my eyes closed I lost my balance, it was like my brain wasnt working with my sense of touch. I wish I knew what I could do for better exercises at home to have a speedy recovery. the unknown of when I will get over this is driving me crazy. there has been times it has affected my speech, I couldnt even say a complete sentance, the words would come out all scabble like a drunk that cant talk right. hard to find the right words that I want to say to my family/friends. to where before I had no problems throwing them words out there. I get to where I am short of breath. just be setting here and feel like I cant breath. I started my new c-pap back in Nov. 2018 for sleep apnea . ever since than I went down hill sick all winter with sinuses/ allergies, than lost of balance and shortness of breath. I want to blame it all on the c-pap machine. I feel I am under the influence of fake air when I wear it while I sleep. lol but it does help me stay breathing while I am sleeping so thats good. I really feel this vertigo off balance stuff could be caused from where we live and the air we breath and could be allergy related. JMO

Hi Susan, Unfortunately we don’t know anything about the condition of vertigo resulting from mold exposure. We encourage you to see a physical therapist who specializes in vestibular conditions. Share our exercises with them and ask if there are others that you can be doing. Wish we could be of more help! Keep up your search. Wishing you the best always:)
