Default Permanent Dizziness from Concussion

To all who have read my posts-

I had my ENT appointment today and I was a little disappointed. The ENT said my sinuses and stuff was clear, and he said the reason my ears are popping and feel full etc. is allergies and its from my eustachian tubes. He did say though, that the, what they call "disequillibrium" dizziness, is most likely still from concussion and not inner ear. He did say he wanted to do a balance test just in case bit I'm scared because I hear the balance test is really scary and makes people throw up.

So basically what I found out today is my concussion and dizziness is permanent. It's been almost a year and it hasn't subsided. Will this ever subside?

I don't know the answer to that I am sorry. But I do have a friend who suffered a concussion who has had similar issues, and is doing vestibular therapy, which is helping his dizziness and balance issues a bit.

Did they suggest any anti-dizziness meds to help, like meclizine or something?

I hope it gets better for you. Sorry I didnt have more helpful information.
