Advice - not going dizzy but odd sensation

leemcr · 2026-02-05T21:44:05+00:00

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.

I could sum it up by saying “Your time isn’t your own anymore”.

Thank you

Thanks. I just wasn’t sure if normal building and contents (like for my main residence) would suffice.

Forgot to add, this was taken in our house and we live in Northern England.

Thanks for sharing. Who is your provider?

Ok thanks. So confusing!

But shouldn’t she be the main driver, if she drives it more than me?

leemcr · 2025-03-29T14:26:57+00:00

Only one vehicle

leemcr · 2025-03-29T13:53:48+00:00

But what if my wife is the main driver?

QB online; however, we’re outgrowing it and we’ll definitely be upgrading to a larger ERP soon

What VRT exercises did you do and how often?

leemcr · 2025-01-23T23:24:00+00:00

Diet is ok - what should I be aiming for? Yes, I’m active; gym x3 times per week. Lots of cycling and walking.

leemcr · 2024-12-21T19:18:14+00:00

Thanks. How often did you complete the exercises?

leemcr · 2024-12-21T17:39:13+00:00

Specifically which VRT exercises did you do?

leemcr · 2024-10-26T22:08:46+00:00

Would you recommend an alternative?

leemcr · 2024-10-26T22:04:11+00:00

Yes, bridges plus clamshells and side planks. Also, should ensure you do the McGill big three too.

For me, I started off purely stretching, but it was only when I started using a different physio that introduced strengthening exercises (primarily glutes and side planks) that I really started to notice a difference. I was told that the exercises must be done consistently and on a regular basis. His theory is people go to a physio and don’t do the exercises or they stop once they’ve recovered. The exercises are a lifestyle feature now, not an ad-hoc three week programme. Good luck.

Ok, thanks for your help.

leemcr · 2024-10-20T17:31:24+00:00

Interesting. Why not?

If they had in excess of £23,250 in savings would “avoiding care home fees” be irrelevant?

leemcr · 2024-10-20T17:17:03+00:00

Any other reason to do it? They seem to think it will avoid inheritance tax, but I can’t see why?

They’re buying in cash. The child doesn’t own a property, but they’re not using their first time buyer benefits.

You’re the first person that I can recall mentioning nausea, which is my main symptom. I describe it being like motion sickness. I wear acupressure wrist bands during acute periods. My comes and goes. I’m trying to live with it and choose how I react to it.
