Just out from a neurologist office. I told him the series of events:

- concussion on July 1st: mostly dizziness symptoms
- 90% healed by August 1st ..back to light exercise
- Sprint on August 25th: severe dizziness after a sprint

here I am 2 months later and the dizziness has not gone away yet. Some days are good. Others are bad. Typically my dizziness comes back after sudden head movement (which I am not avoiding) and light knocks (like when entering the car, had a couple of these)...

The neurologist say you might have Benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (BPPV) and recommended I see an ear and throat doc. He said so because the concussion should have healed by now. He thinks the concussion could have induced the BPPV.

He recommended I try Meclezine ... and these maneuvers for BPPV.

What do you guys think? I am hoping this is not something I have to deal with for much longer...

Many thanks

You can have a therapist help you with the Epley Maneuvers. Some have been able to do them themselves from watching the YouTube video. Either one or both are worth a try. Google Epley Maneuver and you will find instructions and information.

Okay...soo.... having been there...done that... I actually would bypass the ENT... and seek out a vestibular therapist. HERE IS WHY...

an ENT gives you, at best 15 min of his/her time. Vestibular assessment actually takes a lot longer than that.

There is no reason why the neurologist couldn't diagnose you with BPPV... they do it all the time. I wonder why he/she didn't. Perhaps you don't have a positive dix-hallpike....which brings me back to....

a vestibular assessment is more prudent and will give you more answers. if that doesn't work out to give you answers, than you need to see someone who understand post trauma vision syndrome.

*edit* find a therapist near you who is certified (that is important)
