    134. Questions to Ask Yourself About Potential Chronic BPPV

    Wondering if you have BPPV? For anyone with chronic dizziness, it can be really hard and distressing to figure out if that dizziness is a sign of Vestibular Migraine or BPPV. While it’s a great sign that more people are talking about chronic dizziness, not every dizzy sensation is BPPV. These are questions to start asking yourself along with an idea of when you should call your provider to be assessed for BPPV. In this episode, we’ll dig into: How to know it’s time to reassess for BPPV or other possible conditions What does “positional dizziness” even mean What it could be if not BPPV Diagnostic criteria and symptoms specific to BPPV When to contact a provider to get assessed for BPPV Important notes if you’re doing any short-term tracking BPPV is really hard to diagnose—but not impossible. Keep these symptoms and notes in mind if you’re short-term tracking or if this is an area you’re trying to better understand about yourself.  Having the knowledge that you can handle it (because you have in the past) and that you have a plan and better idea of what to do, the faster you’ll feel in control and will be able to swiftly pick the best course of action.  Related Episodes: More on Building a VM Toolkit: https://thevertigodoctor.com/podcast/130-treatment-strategies-for-spring-allergy-season-and-vestibular-disorders/ On Discovering if it’s Vestibular Migraine: https://thevertigodoctor.com/podcast/119-difference-between-vestibular-migraine-and-bppv/ What is the Prodrome Phase of VM: https://thevertigodoctor.com/podcast/124-what-is-prodrome/ Links Mentioned: Vestibular Group Fit (code GROUNDED at checkout for 15% off!): https://thevertigodoctor.com/vestibular-group-fit Healing Vertigo App: https://www.healingvertigo.ca/healing-vertigo-app/ Free Resources: ⁠The 4 Steps to Managing Vestibular Migraine: https://thevertigodoctor.myflodesk.com/cb5js0y78n ⁠The PPPD Management Masterclass⁠: https://thevertigodoctor.myflodesk.com/new-pppd ⁠What your Partner Should Know About Living with Dizziness⁠: https://thevertigodoctor.myflodesk.com/partnership ⁠The FREE Mini VGFit Workout⁠: https://thevertigodoctor.myflodesk.com/minifit ⁠The FREE POTS – safe Workouts⁠: https://thevertigodoctor.myflodesk.com/pots Connect with Dr. Madison (@TheVertigoDoctor): https://instagram.com/thevertigodoctor Work with Dr. Madison: For 1:1 Vestibular Rehabilitation Therapy, email madison@thevertigodoctor.com Otherwise, I’ll see ya in Vestibular Group Fit!

  4. 131. Do I need to take an SSRI or SNRI for PPPD?

    MAR 17

    131. Do I need to take an SSRI or SNRI for PPPD?

    Taking an SSRI or SNRI is considered the gold standard for PPPD treatment. But is it? Honestly, it depends. (And you know we’re gonna take a look at the research!) A lot of people are really sensitive to medication or simply don’t want to take it. And while you don’t need to take medication—it could be helpful. It could also not be helpful. To get to the best answer for your unique situation, it involves considering your specific wants and needs, goals, and timeline. In this episode, we’ll dig into: What the research says about the efficacy of SSRIs and SNRIs for treating PPPD Why SSRI/SNRIs are being considered as a treatment tool to begin with The relationship between our nervous system and dizziness Real world examples of how your brain tries to protect you New module that’s coming to Vestibular Group Fit this year How an SSRI or SNRI can help treat PPPD Things to do aside from meds to help regulate the nervous system The first step of better managing PPPD No, you can’t think your way out of chronic dizziness, but your brain and the way you’re thinking about things does have a big impact on your vestibular disorder. There is no right or wrong way to go about treating PPPD, vestibular migraine, or any other vestibular disorder. And… it’s expected for things to be changing and shifting as you try treatment methods, learn new things, or other goals or priorities force you to change your plan a bit. Things can get better! I see it every week inside Vestibular Group Fit! We’d love to see you in there.

  7. 128. What is the Impact of the Nocebo Effect?

    FEB 24

    128. What is the Impact of the Nocebo Effect?

    You might be familiar with the placebo effect, which is the opposite of the nocebo effect. The nocebo effect is how negative expectations about how medical encounters can produce negative outcomes. And, as we’ve talked about before, your brain is a prediction machine. That’s literally its job! So what does this actually look like in everyday life, how can it impact vestibular disorders, and the role mindset plays in the impact of the nocebo effect. In this episode, we’ll dig into: How side effects play a role in the nocebo effect Examples of the prediction method in action What research reveals about the impact of the nocebo effect How asking better questions can lessen the impact of the nocebo effect When your brain is told something, it will believe it. As humans, we’re designed to find the negatives. And we know that about ourselves, so we need to then intentionally decide that we’re going to shift the way we think about things. Though it’s not always our first instinct, it’s absolutely doable!
