Question: I need help. I have had vertigo, now into my 3rd year. I had all the battery test's last year and was told my right side inner ear nerves were destyroyed by a virus. Ive gone to tharapy sessions and I try to do it on my own at least oce a day. I don't believe its doing me any good. My Ear Nose and Throat doctor had my hearing tested last year and just recently again. I have a big loss 4K up, my hearing is pretty poor and I do what I can with ear plugs and trying to avoid loud situations.. I am a musician, but I don't think that created the entire problem. My mother told me years ago that I had German measles when I was around 6 months old. Truth is I have never been able to hear very well, as a matter of fact I flunked the military draft in 68 because of my hearing problems. I had a CT scan done at the emergency room when this first hit me as BPPV, they found nothing. Last year I had an MRI, ordered by my ENT and again nothing.. Now all that said I get hit with dizzy spells that just come out of nowhere? Lately they have been more frequent. They only last a few seconds. but long enough for me to have to grab onto something not to fall down...Its scary thinking that maybe they are some kind of warning sign or maybe (and I dread using the word) a seizure of some kind.. I do have a lot of sinus problems, maybe some kind of sinus pressure triggering these dizzy bouts? I don't know and no one has any kind of answers for me.. I'm almost 70 and I am still working, trying to stay active. Its bad enough dealing day to day with vertigo, but the dizzy thing really puts me in a bad way....

I did contact my primary care doctor, he prescribed Meclizine, as you said, and a
Medrol dose pack. 6 days I believe. I forgot to ask him what the steroids actually do as far "curing" my problem. As long as it helps I don't care.. Thanks
