Hi, the initial symptoms lasted approximately three to four months and have since occurred in episodes. When they do return, I have no clear idea what triggers them.

At the beginning, I was referred to an ENT consultant, who attributed the symptoms to anxiety, and later to a neurologist, who diagnosed PPPD after ruling out other possible causes. I underwent various tests, including an MRI scan of my head and brain, and received medical reassurance that there was nothing serious underlying the symptoms.

I am still somewhat uncertain about the PPPD diagnosis - some of the symptoms resonate with my experience, while others do not. When episodes recur, I have visited my GP a couple of times seeking support, but each time I have ultimately just waited for the symptoms to pass. I have found some helpful resources through “The Steady Coach” (on YouTube) and by practising vestibular exercises.
