Hi
I have VM/MAV for the past 2 yrs. I'm currently taking 20mgs of propranolol twice a day, it helps a bit not getting rid of it, I honestly don't thin there is anything that will stop this. Anyway, I'm curious do you find the vertigo is much more intensified when rain and storms come in and stay around for a few days? I'm in florida and we have had some kind of front over us for 4 days now and my vertigo is much worse, my shoulders are so tight and my head hurts. It started on Sunday continued on monday and was worse, tuesday was horrid I could barely function I had to take xanax all days, today its still raining and still dizzy. I have never had it effect me like this, but i'm guessing its the storm hanging around for so long and it seems out of control. It really scared me yesterday and its kicked up my anxiety to. But I didn't know if anyone else felt like this when it rains and storms for days. Thanks for any help.
Yes. Barometric pressure jumps up and down, makes it worse.
Common occurrence. Google "barometric pressure migraines". I find that when the pressure drops below 30mb I have issues. I experience issues when the pressure falls and then when it starts to rise back up.
Had not seen you post in a while and thought that you must be getting better. I am doing physical therapy again and the therapist is going to do dry needling on my neck to try to alleviate the rest of my issues. Hope it works.
Sorry no, but tiredness does. sounds like you need to find something you like to relax those shoulders, I say peel them off your ears as you have noticed how tense they are. Put a ball like tennis, baseball, cricket ball in a sock then hold it. Then find a wall and with the ball behind your back and shoulders and holding the sock at the front rub your body up and down the wall with the ball relaxing and massaging your muscles. A swim and a hot tube with the jets on your feet and also shoulders may help. I know this wont help your vertigo but it will help the tenseness in your body. Good luck
