Off balance..help!!

[Beezkneezhoney]

Hi all, looking for some advice here, about 5 years ago when I was pregnant with my son I had an episode of vertigo it didn't seem to last that long as a physio seemed to help. Over the past 5 years I've had this balance issue where i feel like I'm on a boat, even when I have a shower I feel like I am swaying. However recently it's becoming more constant and I've definitely noticed it gets worse before and after my period. My ears ring as they have for along as I can remember and recently my right ear has started to hurt. My doctor has sent me to a vestibular physiotherapy to work on my balance issue and also suggested a hearing test as he said I might have meniere's.

I also suffer from a chronic sore neck. Not sure if that is causing this issue...

Any help would be great.. thanks

I had vertigo which started 6 years ago. Felt like the floor was always swaying like being on a boat. Had brain fog and a constant headaches which came on after a year. I was told at the start that it was inner ear infection, but after a year I requested an MRI as it wasn't going away. That came back all clear. At this point the Dr asked me if I had any neck trouble. I never had any neck pain, but I have always struggled with things like scarves or high neck jumper etc as they give me headaches. It was suspected to be a weakness on me neck which I had physio for. This helped me manage my symptoms and they slowly improved. I am not sure if your issue would be the same, but may be worth looking into if you have neck issues.
