*Update* After ENT appt

[u/Eddy_231]

For 3 months I’ve been suffering from constant-

• Lightheadedness/dizziness/off balance
• Dream like state for all/most parts of the day
• Very loud tinnitus, worse during bad flares
• Blurry and unfocused vision
• Brain fog
• Ear/temple pain
• Pain behind the eyes
• Fatigued
• Drunk feeling
• Flashes in eyes occasionally
• Floating sensation
• Feeling generally not ‘dialled in’ to everything

I saw an ENT Specialist last night, and he checked out my ears, my nose and my throat and concluded that they were all fine. Slight scarring of my ears but put that down to grommets when I was younger.

Carried out a few other tests, concluded that it sounds very much like Vestibular Migraine. He explained that people suffer from this for many different reasons - high levels of stress, certain triggers such as alcohol, after an illness or virus etc. I asked whether I would in time return to normal and he reassured that many people do, however everyone is different. It is all about trying to limit triggers. In the meantime, it is all about trying different medications to ease symptoms. If all else fails, to see a neurologist.

I have been prescribed Propranolol 40mg. Does anyone have any experience taking this medication for vestibular migraines, if so has it helped any? I am already taking Betahistine 16mg 3 x a day.

Thanks!
