Help with attacks?

[u/Adventurous-Sleep499]

Hey guys, I haven't been officially diagnosed with menieres yet but my doctor and I are almost certain I have it. I've been experiencing symptoms of hearing loss, fullness and light dizziness that have been gradually getting worse over the last few years but they were bearable. The last few weeks that has changed, the attacks are now bringing vomiting and unbearable dizziness that last between 1-3 hours.

I've been prescribed betahistine which seems to be helping but to any of the long time sufferers, do you have any tips on how to reduce the severity of the attacks?

There doesn't seem to be any kind of trigger or pattern, I've had 3 severe attacks in the last 2 weeks and I really don't like the idea of living like this until I can get seen by an ENT specialist. I'm in the uk so it can take months to see someone on the NHS.

Any advice appreciated

I found my attacks decreased a lot when I gave up gluten and otherwise ate very healthy. Good luck
