I have had a couple of brief episdoes of vertigo several years ago but just recently had another episode more serious,e.g., included dizziness and I fell down in the parking lot at work. I went to the Dr.that day and she thought is was benign positional vertigo and showed me the exercises (which at that point were worse than the symptoms!)
I had an MRI reviewed by a neurologist who said everything looked fine and gave me the saem diagnosis and again showed me those exrcises. (NOTE I have had tinnitus for about 5 years)
Thank you, J. Grant

Hi Judy - You may want to see if you can get a referral for specialized physical therapy in vestibular rehabilitation. A vestibular disorder is an inner ear disorder that can cause symptoms of dizziness, vertigo, headaches, nausea and a loss of balance.
