Dr. James Atkins (neurotology & otolaryngology) at Advent Health down by Disney is the Central Florida specialist for dizziness, etc. All my doctors suggested him. Takes about 2 months to get in and then you can just message him instead of going all the way down there. I’ve had this for 3 yrs. I first went to PT and had the Epley maneuver. Then the therapist sat me up, my arms & legs went wild and I punched her in the mouth. And most of my dizziness was over. Because I also have a very rare eye disease, my therapist said “My eyes are working overtime and the brain is trying to understand the mis-message from my ears. Therefore, movement can be very exhausting”. Go on FB and join a Vertigo Support Group. I had videonystagmography at Dr. Atkins. Results - Benign Paroxysmal Positional Vertigo in right ear and hyperactive labyrinthine dysfunction on left side. I sleep a lot!
