What Does Dizziness Feel Like?
When I ask patients to describe their dizziness, many respond with, "It might sound crazy, but..."
Whatever you finish that sentence with is not crazy.
Dizziness is a common symptom, but it can be hard to describe. It’s something you feel but others can’t see.
Common Descriptions
Vertigo: A sensation of spinning or the environment moving
Lightheadedness: Feeling faint like you might pass out or feeling “floaty” in your head
Imbalance: Feeling unsteady on your feet, having difficulty walking, or feeling like you might fall
Other Common Descriptions:
-
"It feels like the floor is suddenly giving out from under me."
-
"I feel like I’m still moving even after I stop."
-
"My mind feels foggy - I just feel 'off'."
-
"I can’t seem to walk in a straight line."
-
"I feel off balance, like I’m going to fall."
-
"Reading is hard. I often re-read or don't understand."
-
"I feel really bad in stores & busy places."
We Treat All Types of Dizziness
At Dizzy-Free PT, we've seen all types of dizziness. Whether it comes out of nowhere, slowly builds over time, is short-lasting or constant, or makes you feel "off" while shopping, driving, reading, turning, or moving quickly, we've seen it all. Too many people spend years bouncing around in the medical system without answers or improvement.
One condition we're particularly passionate about is BPPV, also known as "positional vertigo" or "the crystals in your ears." BPPV is the most common cause of inner ear vertigo, affecting 1 in 42 people in their lifetime. Despite its prevalence, it's not well-known in the general public.
That's why I wrote a book on it. Amazon link coming soon!
Whether you're dealing with BPPV or another type of dizziness, we are here to help.
