I've been feeling dizzy and heavy-headed for the past couple of months. A neurologist diagnosed me with migraine-associated vertigo and prescribed Amitone 25 and Stalopam, but I didnt feel much relief. A friend suggested Vertin 25 and Stemitil, and it worked for a while, but now the vertigo attacks are back. Ive noticed the attacks mostly happen when Im in an air-conditioned environment, like my car or office, and I feel better at home or outside. My ears feel blocked, and the heavy-headed feeling lasts for more than 24 hours. It gets better when I sleep but comes back when I wake up. Ive even felt like I might pass out sometimes. Ive seen 4 different doctors, done CT scans, MRV scans, and neck X-rays, but nothing shows up. What could be causing this, and is there anything else I should try?
It sounds like you are experiencing persistent vertigo attacks despite trying different medications. Based on your symptoms and the pattern of your attacks, it may be worth considering a diagnosis of Meniere's disease, which is a disorder of the inner ear that can cause vertigo, ear fullness, and hearing loss. In such cases, a combination of Betahistine (Vertin) and Prochlorperazine (Stemetil) can be effective in managing symptoms. Additionally, you can try using a nasal spray decongestant to help with your blocked ears, such as Oxymetazoline. It is important to avoid triggers like cold temperatures and air conditioning, as they can exacerbate symptoms. If your symptoms persist or worsen, it may be helpful to consult with an Ear, Nose, and Throat (ENT) specialist for further evaluation and management.
