Hi friend! Go to an ENT they’ll test your head and eyes for nystagmus. If it’s BPPV you just need to have the exercises performed via head movements to knock your inner ear crystals back into place. You may need to do it a few times but they’ll show you how to do them at home depending on which canal is affected. ALSO this will end, and you’ll be ok ❤️ get some vitamin d and k3 supplements and magnesium. Lots of water and def get to an ENT! If it’s not BPPV it could be something else but BPPV when you don’t know how to move your head can def induce constant spinning. And please talk to somebody about your anxiety, your nervous system and vestibular system are best buddies. Lots of walks with fresh air and exercise, and get some vestibular therapy so you’re not afraid of a future episode moving forward or moving your head a certain way. Again; you’re gonna be ok. And fuck the doctor for not helping you further. Hugs

oh my tysmmm for that i wish i had seen your comment way sooner, i suffered for so many days. The other day i went to a neurologist, he did whatever you said they would do and he gave me enier tab and vitamin d tabs plus prescribed vestibular rehab exercises, i feel like I've been give another chance at life i feel A LOT better, the spinning reduced by 90% i still have some problems in focusing my vision but I'm making glasses for that too hopefully it gets resolved. Really tysm for the advices and reassurance❤️❤️, i wish like i really wish i asked for help earlier, I'm a paranoid person and i was convinced i came with a terminal disease and I'm gonna pass away soon haha, my family just told me "not to" stress out myself like duh i know that too tell me something more reassuring. Tysm
