I was diagnosed with Menieres two and a half years ago with many Vertigo attacks and lots of visit to GPS and ENT, who all said the same thing, when I saw a different ENT today, I was told that me suffering from Menieres is very unlikely, I am now having blood test and MRIs done to find out what is causing my Vertigo, I just hope there can figure it out,
Has anyone else come across this
Tina -- try a brain scan of some sort. I was told I had Menieres for many years and did not. My problem was seizures. They start small and get stronger.
Good luck -- Dan T.
Hi Tina, I hope the re-evaluation of second ENT comes out with a more favourable reason for your vertigo attacks. I am surprise that it was diagnosed wrongly 2 half years ago. Menieres have a list of likely symptoms and usually concluded if all tests comes back negative and you have all the symtoms, ie. hearing loss, vertigo, fullness in ears etc
Perhaps it may be BBPV (Benign paroxysmal positional vertigo) caused more by head positioning rather than sudden on set for no reason.
I hope you feel better soon and that the results will be to your favour.
Hi Dan,
I am having 2 Mri Scans done, one for my Neck and one for my Brain as there now thinking it could be an issue with the blood vessels in my Neck/brain, and i am hoping that once i am corecctly diagnosed i am gone get some meds that stop the vertigo
fingers crossed
Thanks for your replay, i think it was the easy option for both my GP and the first ENT to come up with Menieres, no one was listening when i told them i dont have the ringing in the ear , the fullness or the hearing loss, i was only listend to when i saw a diffrent gp in my Surgery who was convinsed there wasmore to it and ordert test,
i am now waiting on 2 Mri Scans to be done and hopfully we will have a result of what causes my vertigo
Hello Tina, I wish you luck. There are good meds. for brain problems. My problems stopped with the first pill. Only took twenty years.

As a trial i have been given Pitozifen which is for Migraines and something to do with the blood vessels, 20 years its a very long time to suffer , i am hoping there get to the bottom of it fast,
