What is vestibular migraine and the reason behind it?
A vestibular migraine refers to vertigo episodes in persons having a history of migraine ( one-sided headache most times attended with nausea, vomiting). A person having it feels as if he is revolving or the surrounding objects are revolving. Head movement worsens vertigo. It is different from migraines because it doesn’t involve a headache. The exact cause behind vestibular migraine is not known yet. But it is thought to arise when a vestibular system in the ear (that controls the body’s balance) is affected in a person having a history of migraine. It is thought to run in families. There are certain risk factors that can trigger it. These factors include sleep loss, food like MSG (monosodium glutamate), coffee, chocolate, caffeine, stress, anxiety, and weather changes.
What are its symptoms?
Spontaneous episodes of vertigo, dizziness is the major symptom of it. Other symptoms that may attend include the feeling of imbalance, motion sickness, nausea, and vomiting. In some cases, pressure feeling in head, noises in the ear (tinnitus), neck pain, and visual complaints (likes blurred vision, spots or flashes of light before eyes ), sensitivity to light and noise are present. The duration of an episode of vestibular migraines varies from few seconds to minutes and rarely for a day or two.

It is one-sided pain in whole body i.e left hand side. vision is not normal. it happened everyday in a month. very chronic daily attacks of classical migraine. I have used many allopathic medicines amitryptalline, flunarizine, propanolol, venlafaxine, sodium valporate and toparimate. No one from these working. Weight was gained too much. These are almost from 12 years. my age is now 33 and these are happening from age of 21. venlafaxine has reduced vertigos and dizziness but headaches were not reducing.
Therefore, i switched to homeo treatment. Now i am taking these medications for all these attacks.
1. cyclamen 30
2. iris 30
3. cimcifuga 30
4. gelsemium 30
Dosage from each one is 5 drops 3-4 times a day.

Good afternoon,
My name is Robin Jordan. I had a stroke that effected the thalamic area I my brain in 2018. Since then I have had a condition that seems to be evolving. In 2019 I was diagnosed by an audiologist with vestibular migraines. My neurologist has prescribed alot of different medicines that some have helped at first, but the effectiveness is decreasing. Others I can not tolerate the side effects. It feels like it is stealing my life. I don’t feel like myself anymore. The symptoms are constant now, and seems like there is no helping me.

Hello,
I’m trying to help my wife with what the neurologist has described as ‘migrane’. I’ve been treating her with homeopathy myself especially Gelsemium, Bryonia and Nat Mur. Her symptoms were described by a dizziness clinic as suffering from ‘visual vertigo’ and ‘vestibular migrane’ however the symptoms do not relate to vertigo but more like lightheadedness or dizziness. She cannot focus on her hobbies of painting and crochet and movement of head up, down, or sideways brings on a feeling of lightheadedness and nausea. She had super sensitive smell, hearing and eyesight. She has had both eyes operated for cataract and the right eye has a ‘scratch’ on it which we believe was a botch by the ophthalmologist. As you can see her symptoms are not the usual for migraines but has a little of everything. Are there any other homeopathic medications I can try. I am an amateur who has used homeopathy for over 30 years.

Dr Sharma, I appreciate the wealth of info on your website. I have recently developed Mal de Debarquement or disembarkment syndrome. It is a rare disorder of feeling motion as if on a boat. Sometimes it is treated as a vestibular migraine, which brought me to your page on this. There are 5,000 members of a Facebook group for this disorder. Some have had it for 10 years. All are searching for treatment. If you have any interest in learning more about MdDS, there are many who would welcome relief. Thank you.
