  • Vertigo Cervical headache, also known as Vertigo Migraine or Vestibular Migraine, is a common cause for symptoms such as dizziness, unsteadiness or vertigo. Head pain or migraine symptoms may also be present during an attack; however, they can be absent.

    You are an absolutely lovely person for doing this. I got diagnosed with this almost a year ago and it’s made me feel insane. I actually feel as though my anxiety exacerbates it as well as bright lights and loud noises. This has affected my fitness life and social life greatly. I also have the absolute worst neck issues. I get a major migraine about once a week and it’s usually coupled with seeing spots and various auras. I started experiencing this after I got covid the first time 2 years ago. It’s incredibly debilitating.

      This sounds very similar to my own experience after covid booster jab. I developed amplified sound issues (hyperacusis, tinnitus and vertigo, 8 months ago now. At present vertigo is managable, tinnitus I am getting on with it but I think I will always hear it when I think about it, I can now do washing upwithout the cutlery and crockery bothering me so much. Sometimes women's high pitched voices on the radio or tv do annoy me with the loudness. I agree it can be debilitating. I also have neck stiffness which I put down to having to jprop myself up with 4 pillows in bed 'cause of the vertigo.

    This has got to be one of the most accurate and informative videos I have watched. I currently suffer from vestibular migraines and everything this video mentions is what I get. I go see my neurologist and get treatment but I don’t want to be on pills all my life. I am trying hard to stay positive and to be honest it helps me allot. But going to the shops or walking around fast can trigger my symptoms and many more things. I am glad that this video is out there if people want to understand what it is. Thanks you for doing this video

      Absolutely Tyra, that's very common with our patients, especially on the C1 medial arch I've found. If I was in your position, having your neck assessed by a headache clinician would be a great first step to getting on top of the vestibular migraines, we seem them often in our clinic.

    Hello, I don't know where to begin. I have experienced all these symptoms and disorders for 2 1/2 years. It is very debilitating. I felt dizzy while eating food, brushing my teeth, combing my hair, washing dishes, getting up to walk, and doing the normal day to day activities were more than a chore and must I mention the fatigue. I couldn’t receive disability bc it would be hard to tell that anything was wrong with me physically. Walking into new environments and spaces seemed like some sort of pressure in my head was pushing me down and legs become a little weak was very scary, depressing, and very uncertain and on top of everything my breathing changed to shallow breathing still to this day. I was referred to an ENT Therapist by a neurologist for vestibular therapy, which seem to save my life to a certain extent, but then things got worse where the floor seemed as though it was coming closer; very disturbing! I was then recommended to a higher up specialist where I was strapped in a chair that moved in a dark room for an hour and things seemed better once I finished the same day. The specialist said that the crystals in my inner ear must have got of whack and that I also might have grown a sensitivity to caffeine, and others.. All said, thank you so much for sharing this awareness! Are there any support groups online?

      Sounds like you had BPPV, Mer, and I'm happy to hear you're doing better after the chair/dark room therapy! Very interesting treatment. If it continues after those treatments, then you may want to consider seeing a headache consultant, but if it's fixed that would more likely mean it was BPPV. Headache Australia have a headache support group, give that a Google and I hope it helps!

    I would urge great caution when manipulating the neck. I have had vestibular migraine and left sided Ménière’s for 32 years. Came from a thyroid storm due to my dr giving me too much med. As a last resort, I had the neck manipulation you are referring to. Ended up in the ER due to severe BBPV, first time ever. Now I have three issues instead of two. They seem to be mostly permanent.

    This is very interesting. I've had migraines and bad headaches for years. Just three years ago (I'm 58) I started getting more prominent balance problems, some nausea, and general difficulty...especially in the morning. Doing things like working on my car, fixing things, golfing or even holding a fishing pole have become near impossible. I often get bad headaches on the weekend in the afternoon when I go out. My head feels like a lead weight, hurts somewhat when I move it, and it hurts my entire head when I press my fingers into my upper neck and move my head up and down. I have always had bad posture (I hunch forward a little) and people told me to straighten up. I was like "well I feel fine like this".
    I will definitely see a headache clinician about it (doctors have gotten me nowhere).

I will book an appointment with a headache clinic ASAP, how do they assess if there is pressure on the brain stem and if so how is it treated?

    I was only diagnosed with Vestibular migraine a couple of years ago.
    What I didn't make a connection with was I've had neck problems since early 2000. but was receiving private treatment so it didn't show up in my medical records.
    After watching this video I mentioned to my doctor about my neck. However, they don't offer this de-sensitive treatment here in the UK. Typical NHS.

    Hi ! I've been trying to figure out if what I'm experiencing could be a vestibular disorder. Sometimes randomly I get super dizzy looking at any screen whether it's a laptop, TV or phone, and when my boyfriend plays video games like grand theft auto or when I play the sims I get extremely sick , nauseating almost like motion sickness to the point where I just have to lay down because I cant watch him play.

    • @brisbaneheadacheandmigrain3863
      @brisbaneheadacheandmigrain3863  Před 3 lety +3

      Hi Bri, there is certainly a chance that this is vestibular migraine. In some cases, if you're someone that experiences extreme motion sickness, this could also explain your symptoms, particularly when sitting close to a screen or when watching something on a large screen. It may be worthwhile having your eyes tested to see if there's any issues there, and then having your neck assessed for migraines.

    Not certain if you'll reply, over the holidays I believe I had an attack. I was in the shower with my partner (TMI but they witnessed my attack) I was looking at them when all of a sudden there seemed to be a bright light almost purple I was unable to focus on their face because it became blurry. I got extreme dizziness and felt nauseous. I immediately had to sit down and had trouble doing so. Sitting didn't help I eventually had to put my head into my lap and keep my eyes closed. It just felt like the room was spinning and my eyes couldn't focus. This lasted for at least five minutes until I didn't feel sick. As it was passing my limbs felt like static, I can't find another way to describe it. My partner couldn't see my eyes but he said I looked extremely dizzy and looked like I was going to throw up any minute.

      Hi Destiny. It does sound like you may have suffered from a vestibular migraine attack. There are other sources of dizziness, such as BPPV, though. If you've been a migraine sufferer in the past, then it makes it more likely to have been a vestibular migraine. The bright light in your vision also does suggest migraine over other conditions. If this is your first migraine attack, it would be worth being assessed to check for other possible causes. Having a chat to your local doctor can put you on the right path for all of that. Otherwise, it would be worth having your spine assessed by someone trained in treating a sensitised brainstem.

      Hi Rachel, apologies for the slow reply. Hyper tension medications are commonly prescribed for migraine conditions, usually in a low dose. If you're still finding that it's not working, I would recommend that you speak to your consultant regarding your concerns. It should have taken affect by now. There are some natural remedies that can work for some people, but the evidence for them is fairly poor. Some people find things like peppermint oil on the temples may help, but it's different from person to person. The technique that we use in the clinic is medication free, and focuses on treating the neck and brainstem as the source of the problem. It may be worth you having your neck assessed by someone that is trained in treating the brainstem.

      Hi @archanakadam, I'm sorry to hear you've been experiencing vestibular migraines! The best option is to first discuss these symptoms with a doctor. You may also benefit from seeing a Watson-trained headache clinician who may be able to determine whether your symptoms are coming from any neck-related issues. I hope this helps! Please feel free to get in touch if you have any further questions.

      Thanks very much for your question! You're correct in that there are some overlapping symptoms between Vestibular Migraines and common migraines and even some other types of migraines. Health professionals such as GPs, Neurologists and Watson Headache clinicians are usually able to assess and determine which type of migraine you are suffering. But, many of these different types of migraines stem from a common root cause, which is a sensitized brainstem.

    I have vestibular migraines, but I have the feeling that it is not triggered by food. On vacation I eat everything pizza and pasta and haven't had a single attack. Is that also possible?

      There can be a lot of reasons why vestibular migraines can be triggered, including foods, but there are loads of others, such as bright lights, certain smells, loud sounds, stress and exercise, just to name a few! Thank goodness pizza and pasta isn't one of them, phew! I hope you enjoyed your vacation.

      Hi Dolly, there's a chance that the symptoms are unrelated, but they could also be completely related. From what you've described, I suspect that BPPV is not your condition. You've described fairly classic symptoms of vestibular migraine. It doesn't always involve pain. I would recommend that you mention vestibular migraine to your doctor. They may be able to show you where you can find treatment locally.

For vestibular migraines, treatment can consist of manual therapy as well as exercises for correcting the position of the upper cervical spine, and generally this will include improving your posture.

    I had an attack June 2020
    Come from nowhere
    Had massive vertigo and was so sick
    Went to Er
    Docs ruled out a stroke
    Eventually after tests went to see a specialist for a diagnosis they said I got vestibular neauritis
    First 6 months was hell
    I’m way better today but still suffer balance issues headaches and also anxiety
    I’ve not had vertigo since the attack
    But the specialist told me that if my vestibular nerve system was chronically damaged then ill have this rest of my life and to manage it best I can through rehabilitation
    Most concerns me is the nerve sensations or jolts as I call them that randomly hit any part of my body
    My other concern is it’s worse when I close my eyes and turn my head side to side I get so motion sickness after that but apparently that’s an exercise I need to daily do so my brain can try compensate the wrong nerve signals it’s sending to my brain?

    I am still trying to figure out weather I have vertigo or not. I randomly get the feeling of everything spinning, probably two times a year and it lasts for several days, feeling is not constant, it only happens when I move my head. It always starts when I sleep, then move in my bed and boom here it is and during day I feel nauseous. I do not suffer as much as people with confirmed vertigo so I am still confused what it is.

    How to distinguish between labrynthitis and vestibular migrain

    • @brisbaneheadacheandmigrain3863
      @brisbaneheadacheandmigrain3863  Před 3 lety +3

      Great question Arun. Labrynthitis is an inflammatory disorder, and will normally go away on its own, with medications being a great, researched way to treat the cause. However with Vestibular Migraines, medication is a bandaid effect and will not treat the cause, due to their being an issue of brainstem sensitisation. Often times if you get accompanying headaches or migraines, and/or have a slumped posture, and/or have accompanying neck pain/tightness, and have had the vertigo/dizziness for a long time, VMs are a fairly strong differential diagnosis. I hope that helps!

      Hi Jireh, thanks very much for your comment. I recommend chatting to your GP about this to determine what the cause of these symptoms are. It may be due to the position of your head and neck (i.e. looking down) when you're eating, but it could also be due to another underlying condition. So the best option is to discuss this with a health professional.

      That's a very interesting question, HELATube - there's such limited research done on the vaccine so far, however dizziness has been one of the reported side effects that the vaccine MAY cause after administration. My advice would be to make sure you're well hydrated when you're having the vaccine, and do not plan much physical exertion in the day following to try and mitigate the potential for side effects.
