Could inflammation play a role in vestibular disorders?

Researchers are continuing to explore the connection between inflammation and conditions like vestibular migraine, Ménière's disease, BPPV, and vestibular neuritis. While there is still much to learn, this growing area of research may help us better understand vestibular disorders and improve future treatment approaches.

Can you guess the vestibular disorder? 🤔

Read the clues, make your guess, then swipe to reveal the answer.

Did you guess Persistent Postural-Perceptual Dizziness (PPPD)?

PPPD is a chronic vestibular disorder that causes persistent dizziness or unsteadiness, often made worse by standing, walking, movement, or visually complex environments. It frequently develops after another vestibular disorder, illness, or other event that affects balance.

Because symptoms can overlap with other vestibular disorders, an accurate diagnosis is an important step toward finding the right treatment.

Ever wonder why you can feel great one day and awful the next?

For many people living with a vestibular disorder, symptoms naturally fluctuate. Changes in sleep, stress, hormones, illness, weather, physical activity, and other factors can all influence how you feel.
A symptom flare doesn't always mean your condition is getting worse. It may simply be a reminder that vestibular disorders don't always follow a straight path.

What you see vs. what I see. 👀

The world may look completely normal from the outside. But for someone living with a vestibular disorder, the same moment can look and feel very different.

Visual motion, busy environments, scrolling screens, bright lights, or simply walking through a store can make the world feel like it’s moving, bouncing, blurring, or shifting around you.

For Dizzy Parents Day, we have partnered with to share a glimpse into an experience that can be incredibly difficult to explain to someone who hasn’t lived it.

Because sometimes understanding starts with seeing the world through someone else’s eyes. 💙

Treatment isn't one-size-fits-all. 💙

If one medication doesn't work, it doesn't mean you've run out of options.

Depending on your diagnosis, treatment may include different types of medications, such as preventive medications, rescue (acute) medications, vestibular suppressants, antihistamines, anticholinergics, benzodiazepines, or antiemetics. Your healthcare provider may also recommend vestibular rehabilitation therapy or other therapies as part of your treatment plan. 💊

Finding the right approach can take time, and it's common for treatment to involve some trial and error. The goal is to find the combination that works best for you. 🤝

Did you guess vestibular migraine?

Vestibular migraine is one of the most common causes of recurrent dizziness. While many people associate migraine with headache, vestibular migraine can cause vertigo, dizziness, motion sensitivity, brain fog, and light or sound sensitivity, even when little or no head pain is present.

Because symptoms can overlap with other vestibular disorders, it's important to work with a qualified healthcare provider to receive an accurate diagnosis.

Vestibular rehab isn’t one-size-fits-all... and it shouldn’t necessarily look the same throughout your journey.

Your starting point matters, your response to exercise and activity matters, your capacity matters.

And as your goals evolve, your rehab may need to evolve with you, too.

Sometimes revisiting vestibular therapy with a fresh set of eyes can help you figure out that next step.

Vestibular migraine is more than the attack itself.

Some people notice warning signs before symptoms begin. Others experience lingering fatigue or brain fog after the attack has ended. And no two vestibular migraine attacks are exactly alike.

Understanding what can happen before, during, and after an attack may help you recognize patterns, track your symptoms, and have more informed conversations with your healthcare provider.

Both can cause vertigo, but they're not the same condition.

BPPV and vestibular migraine are two of the most common causes of dizziness and vertigo, but they have different causes, symptom patterns, and treatment approaches.

While BPPV is caused by displaced crystals in the inner ear, vestibular migraine is a neurological condition that affects how the brain processes balance and sensory information.

Because symptoms can overlap, it's important to work with a healthcare provider to determine the underlying cause of your dizziness.

There are some things you only learn by living with a vestibular disorder.

The journey can be frustrating, unpredictable, and isolating at times. But it can also teach resilience, patience, and the importance of celebrating every step forward. And there is a whole community here who gets it.

If you're newly diagnosed, we hope this reminds you that you're not alone. And if you've been on this journey for a while, we hope it reminds you how far you've come.

What's something you wish someone had told you when you were first diagnosed? Your words could help someone who's just beginning their journey. 💙
