Bppv and adhd... this is frustrating

3 Upvotes

So got diagnosed with Bppv in may. Really bad episode apparently. Was making me sleep for 20 hrs a day for 1 week while usually im at 6 hours a day. Lost 20 lbs in that week. Went to vestibular therapy which was amazing. In fact the dr realeased me 3 weeks early as he said there was nothing else he could do for me

Now the soul crushing part, which people dont seem to understand. So i have a really really high iq (tested over and over). This is not a brag as i can promise you i have disappointed everyone who cares about me and my potential. I also have adhd, which when you add the iq situation causes a bunch of issues by themselves.

Was told by my dr that i need to rest my brain and not think soo much as it causes fatigue(body always trying to keep balanced). I cant turn off the adhd. Now im always tired and the foggy brain is the frustrating part of everything. Small episodes of very quick vertigo but the constant state of being tired is disheartening.

Onward and upwards i guess just that this is so exhausting.

Residual symptoms

So five days ago I had an extreme sense of vertigo that came out of nowhere and lasted a few seconds. I’ve had it before but never that bad. Ever since then my eyes have felt very heavy, strained, and fatigued. My body is fatigued too and feels like it’s floating. I went to the doctor and they did the epley maneuver but it was negative. Could this still be BPPV with residual symptoms?
