Dizziness

General

i have cerebeller ataxia. does your dizziness get worse as time goes on?

thanks

I also have chronic dizziness. I do feel it has progressed (gotten more frequent and stronger). However, lack of sleep, hunger, fatigue, stress of any kind make it worse. I used to take Benadryl nightly and it helped the dizziness.

I find if I don’t drink enough non caffeine beverages I tend to get more dizzy.

Some diet changes may help. Try cutting out sugar and gluten for a couple months to see if it makes a difference. My dizziness gets worse when I don't get enough sleep, when I'm tired, or when I over-do it. Also when I don't eat well and don't exercise my dizziness is worse. Exercising helps to reduce my dizziness (and my other symptoms)

Oh Also- I have recently been involved in equine therapy/therapeutic riding. It is amazing and has significantly decreased my overall dizziness. Horses are amazing animals. I wouldn’t have thought this would be part of my life but now I am hooked. Fewer migraines, less dizziness and overall more steady. The techniques keep you quite safe.

The only thing I would mention about that - and it's only through reading as I haven't gone - is to make sure that it is a Neurological Physio, so they understand the issues properly.
