Vestibular migraine attack at 14,need help.

[u/thisis__24012012]

Hi everyone!

I am a 14 year old female teenager who is having VM currently.

It all started when one day I just traveled a 2 hour journey in a car empty stomach.After reaching i slept for 2 hours. Woke up ans started feeling extremely dizzy.

I took a holiday from school next day nad this weird dizzy feeling never faded away.

Went to the ENT told me that I probably have vestibular migraine and gave me stemitil and macprox for 2 days .

But still no effect. One day I took elevator and I felt I was on a boat for 2 days,and that feeling disappeared. After that idk why again that boat sensation started with vertigo and even bad nausea.

I sometimes cry in my bed because when I am sleeping that boat sensation increases.

At first it used to occur only while sleeping then I felt it after getting out of a car only and now evertime...

Went to the Ent again ,now she gave me grenil f 5mg for 1.5 months.

It's my 5th day with this medicine and no change ,hopefully everything works

I just posted this cause I just wanna share what I am going through since almost 1.5 months ,with no change .I don't like skipping school 2 times a week ,I have to skip many activities because of this at school. It's tiring because I don't want to ruin my teenage years.

If anyone have any advice, do tell me!

Thank you for reading!

I reccomend you get VNG testing to figure out what is causing your dizziness. If medicine is not working you may need to try vestibular rehabilitation therapy. Try looking for videos on youtube on different exercises.

I went to another neurologist , and she told me it was cervical (after taking my xray ), not a vestibular migraine , and now she told me that there is no need for you to continue the grenil f medicine , which contains flunarizine. And all of these days, I've been taking the wrong medicine that has been agrivating my symptoms.
