Experiencing Vertigo. Having Dizziness. Taking Synthroid. Guide

Hello. I have been experiencing Vertigo sometime moderate to severe since March 31. Room spinning around me, cannot walk and at times knock me off my feet. I have had an MRI of the brain and inner ear with and without contrast and also seen by an audiologist to rule out Menaires (spelling). Saw a chiropractor who said it was occipital bone in my neck and have had several adjustments. Although it has gotten better, I still experience dizziness. I have also had Epley done by a professional. The only medication I am on is synthroid .88 mg. Is there anything else I may be missing that could cause this. At times I have to stay in bed and not move my head at all until I can get up again. I am still not able to lay down on my right side. Thank you for any advise you may have. Pat

You appear to have ruled out any ENT problem by consulting a ENT specialist as also any neurological deficit .Vascular insufficiency ,cervical spine problems,cardiac arrhythmias as also other rarer causes of vertigo may need to be ruled out.A neurological opinion may help.
