I have experienced recurrent dizzy spells for the last 5 years. Usually every 6 months or so, lasting from a few days to a few weeks. Have seen an ENT, had a CT scan, hearing tests etc and it’s been concluded it’s an inner ear issue. I can take medication for it but for no longer than 3 days or it apparently starts to impact the brain’s ability to control balance itself.
The dizziness is inside my head rather than outside - it doesn’t feel like the room is spinning, it feels like my head is spinning on the inside.
I have been experiencing my current spell for 8 weeks and it is awful. It is intermittent so some days I feel ok for most of the day and some days it is constant. A few times I have had huge waves of it where I feel like I am going to faint.
This is causing me huge anxiety which can’t be helping and I feel like I am at my limit of what I can cope with.
I am going to get a GP appointment tomorrow but am not too hopeful as they previously just shrug their shoulders and don’t offer much help.
Just wondering if anyone has experienced similar?
