Hello, after almost a year of vertigo attacks , daily dizziness and nausea an balance problems, a new specialist i saw suggests i have this. Not Menieres disease because i dont have significant hearing loss and my symptoms are not coming from one ear. I recently tried ELAVIL 10mg. It has made my dizziness worse. Has anyone had this hapen??

Hi i have been dealing with chronic dizzyness , vertigo attacks and imbalnce for 11 years , ruined my life , after about 4 or 5 years i found i think a 6 th neuro who said well try botox and valuim being everything else failed and i was housebound , so i tried it and it slowly got me back to being semi functional which was a blessing i could drive again and go into stores although it was tough i was able to shop then after years this past november i suddenly got struck while standing in line with horrible dizzyness but this time short of breath , chest pain and really felt like i was about to faint , i ran out and sat on the curb and felt better , since then it has gotten worse , i have to use a chair to shower and i now get horrible dizzy while standing im fully housebound again but now with even worse standing faintness chest pains and short of breath i had cardio tests all normal except high bp , i dont know what to do , at times it feels like im walking on marshmellows or sinking into the floor , anyone going threw this???

Hello @sammy1111 welcome back to mvertigo. Sorry you didn’t get a response the prior time. There are still a few regulars here so hopefully we can help you out a bit more!
Sorry you are still suffering. Those symptoms are familiar to a lot of us. Have you tried the diet, good sleep hygiene and perhaps even some counselling to help control anxiety?
Sammy 1111, welcome back to our forums. This is where we keep each other sane! I’m on Nortriptyline- it is a TCA same as Amitriptyline. I recently started it again. Reassuring to know all your tests are normal- Are you taking any Magnesium supplement? That could help a lot with the High blood pressure. Ami could have increased it. Did you check back with the neuro? I hope this scary episode calms down for you.
Dealing with this since 2019, I’m on my 4th neuro.
