Dizziness when to see a ENT?

I have had my lab work and everything is fine, do diabetes or kidney issues. Doc thinks it could be from dehydration, but it doesn’t seem to be working. With your suggestion on electrolytes I’m increasing my water intake drinking CORE water which is supposed to have minerals.
Got to get to the root of this.

I’ll look up BPPV. Thanks.

BPPV is exactly as you said it Neville. I’ve also just been dx with this disease by doing a tilt test. My ENT has thoughts it might be caused from my CI. My GP has just put me on a trial of Stemital this morning to see if that helps the dizziness.

Let me know if the Stemital works and any side effects, thanks.

It can be tough to complete the maneuvers correctly on one’s own. Did a professional ever move you through them?

I have an appointment in August at a physical therapist to evaluate my symptoms and if they think the maneuvers will help then it’s a go.

Neville yes he did, in the 3 month course.

Keep in mind that there are multiple potential causes for your symptoms. The experts are the ones to have figure it out, even if it takes a while. They’ll start with the most common causes that fit the symptoms and work their way down the list of less common causes if needed. My wife’s tumor is near the bottom of the list with one source saying only 50,000 cases in the entire US population.

She has dizzyness, lightheadedness, and some vertigo (spinning feeling). They initially tried the Epley maneuver, which seemed to help but did not provide the amount of improvement that they had expected. It wasn’t until the MRI that they identified the cause. Since they diagnosed the vestibular schwannoma, she’s been to therapy to try to get her brain to ignore the bad side and pay attention to the good side. This has helped some. I’m hoping this is not the cause of your problem. From what I’ve read, some schwannomas are operable. It varies on location and other factors.

Did your wife have headaches before she was diagnosed? Just wondering if tumors cause headaches.
Reason: I family member had headaches turned out to be a tumor.

My wife did not have anything unusual in the way of headaches before or since she was diagnosed. Tumors can present in a lot of different ways.

Thank you My appointment is end of August. Long time to wait, but that’s how it is.

I’m glad it cured her. Gives me hope.

@cjpines My physio did the Epley maneuver again yesterday. Thank heavens with success, no dizzy symptoms last night in bed at all. A peaceful night exercise free is a true blessing.

@cjpines There are various youtube vids on the Epley style maneuvers - not so hard to DIY
