Back to EpisodesDizziness, Vertigo, or Vestibular Migraine? The 3 Drivers Doctors Treat—and the One They Miss
Description
Is your dizziness coming from your inner ear… your eyes… or something almost everyone overlooks?
In this episode of the Headache Doctor Podcast, Dr. Taves explains why dizziness, vertigo, and vestibular migraines are often more complex than they seem. He breaks down the three major systems that help your brain maintain balance—and why treating only one or two of them may leave you searching for answers.
You'll learn:
- The difference between dizziness, vertigo, and vestibular migraine
- How the inner ear contributes to balance problems
- Why your visual system may be making dizziness worse
- The often-overlooked role your neck plays in balance and vestibular symptoms
- Why normal testing doesn't always rule out the true source of your symptoms
- How addressing all three systems may lead to better long-term outcomes
Plus, in this week's Ask The Headache Doctor segment, Dr. Taves answers listener questions about:
- Being told dizziness is "just stress"
- Vestibular testing that seemed to make symptoms worse
- When to keep pursuing answers after you've hit a dead end
If you've been living with unexplained dizziness, vertigo, or vestibular migraines, this episode will help you better understand what could be driving your symptoms—and why one important piece is often missed.
