Elderly with vertigo
Hello,
My mother has bouts of vertigo over the last year. She has had many tests done. There is some hearing loss in one ear but other than that all tests are negative. They say that she does not have the loose crystals in the ear. She never had any COVID shots and hasn’t had any recent infections. She is about 80 years old and these spells can last for days. She’s currently in a spell that is causing a lot of discomfort. Please let me know if there is any resource that you advise, I’d appreciate it. Thank you.

Im sorry shes suffering with vertigo. Its very frightening and debilitating.
Im not a doctor.
However, have you considered:
Allergies?
Time of season?
Windows or doors open?
This happened to my Dad, living in Arizona. Mom opened the sliding door.
He started to get dizzy etc.
He took a Claritin and it went away.
She may have another type of allergy:
New laundry detergent? Perfume? Foods? Any new hand soap, shampoo, house cleaner, face cream, body cream?
Has she had a brain scan?
Keep seeking!
I pray youll find her an answer!

Possibly a few sessions of acupuncture or dry needling could help. Also possibly ginger root pills 1000mg every 8 hours for a total 3000mg in 24 hour period.

Just a thought….. has anyone mentioned Vestibular Nuritous. It is a nerve in the ear which connects to the brain. My husband suffered from this, they treat it by physio therapy exercises. Just a thought.
