Je me sens déséquilibré à chaque pas, comme si j'allais m'enfoncer dans le sol !

I'm 35 and I am an overall healthy woman. In the last year, in noticed in would get dizzy while washing dishes. More recently, whenever I start walking, I immediately feel off balance and like I'm going to go through the floor. Feeling like I'm on a boat! Don't have insurance and am nervous about what this is. I have done research and the cause is most likely an inner ear balance problem. Anyone else have this and if so, what did you do about it. Please help! It's making my life with two small children difficult. Thanks!

Try vestibular therapy (you can find it on YouTube) and that should help

Bonjour, comme votre situation ne vous permet pas de consulter un médecin, essayez un médicament en vente libre comme le Dramamine. Il existe d'autres médicaments similaires dans votre pharmacie la plus proche. J'espère que cela vous aidera.

Vous avez raison de soupçonner qu'il pourrait s'agir d'un problème de l'oreille interne.  Toutes choses étant égales, vous devez consulter un médecin ORL spécialisé en neurotologie.

I suffer from vertigo as well, when I go outside I put cotton or silicone ear plug in my bad ear, then I don't get vertigo.  Hope it helps you.

Essayez de faire le demi-saut périlleux à la maison. Il y a une vidéo en ligne qui montre comment le faire. C'est ce que j'utilise.

Thank you Jackie! I will try that

Parfois, je dois le faire plusieurs fois (peut-être 4) pour que cela fonctionne. Assurez-vous de les espacer de 30 minutes.

How did you identified the "bad ear"?

I'm 34 with two young children and been feeling like this since the start of October! Been to ent who suspect labyrinthitis but have referred me for an mri too. It's absolutely horrible and us ruining my life. I can't do half the things with the kids. Hope we are both better soon. X

I feel worse when stood up or walking if o lay down or sit with my neck supported I feel fine.. I have two children too and it saddens me as it stops me from doing day to day things... I've even given up driving... Do you get neck pain at the top of the spine and lower part of the head when this happens cause mine gets really painful... I've had tests.. xrays.. Chiropractors..acupuncture..physio but nothing seems to work

I'm 38 overall very healthly, I was diagnosed with VN in Aug 2015,it was a long road to recovery but you will get better.VRT saved my life! it is the only thing that will help with the balance/contstant dizzy feeling. Before that I tried everything and I mean everything.If you dont have insurance there are videos posted on youtube.

Combien de temps vous a-t-il fallu pour vous rétablir complètement ? J'ai été diagnostiqué avec une VN à la fin du mois de juin 2016. Je suis à environ 80 %, mais il me reste encore un bout de chemin à parcourir.

I have had vertigo for 3 years now. I suffer with it everyday there is no let up. I am really off balance, swaying, feeling like I’m falling when I’m standing, spinning. I was diagnosed with eustachian tube dysfunction, plus recently found out I have 4 allergies. I have tried everything I can think of,.doctors, ent said there is nothing wrong with my ears, which I feel they are not telling the truth, vertigo tablets nothing is working. I understand completely where you are coming from, everyday is a real battle and it has given me really bad anxiety due to feeling like I’m going to fall over or collapse on the floor. Since May I have been having vestibular physio but it’s taking so long. Try Cranio sacral therapy, that’s what I’m doing now to see if it helps.
