I had a TIA stroke almost 2 years ago. Vertigo made it dangerous to do my chores.
I went to PT as my head was pulled to the left. still tight and I'm working on it, but I can now climb my ladders again!

Last Thur echocardiogram was negative (that is to say according to it no cardiac issues causing the vertigo, that's great since I had 4xbypass in Dec '19). Btw, also had my heart just shut off (sudden cardiac arrest) almost exactly one year ago. This is why docs have been concentrating on cardiac causation.
Sent a msg to my primary doc just a bit ago that it is time to up the game.
The good news is that the heavy cranial 'pressure' Ive had for 3mo has backed off considerably, today is the 4th consecutive day. What a relief!
I am SO glad I had that 6mo window of time to get the new cabin build designed, ordered, built and delivered/installed (on May 1) and had until early October to enjoy it before this hit. Maybe by spring opening I'll be way better, winter is a good time to lay up here at home.

Hang in there. Glad the ecg was neg. I had loud ear ringing, and could hear my heartbeat in my ear for many weeks. The pulsing faded, but the ringing remains. Seems a long recovery is normal, so here's hoping you're about to turn the corner!

Saw a neurologist yesterday for an initial visit.
We talked, he ran some physical tests, talked some more and concluded Im in rough shape.
Vertigo is either 'peripheral' or 'central'.
Central is brain stuff, peripheral is other stuff like inner ear. Since most cases are peripheral they typically go for treating that and hope it goes away.
So, now I go to PT to see if the treatments for peripheral that Ive done informally with no results are true  . Well, ok...I get it, the new doc has to start at the beginning.
All this even though he acknowledged that my relatively sudden profound symptoms were more stroke like.
I'll go to PT, it will either help or define mine as central.
Moving forward at a glacial rate.

Sorry fella... As a coincidence, my wife is having an episode right now. It really sucks and puts your whole life on hold.
