Hi,
I have been recommended this forum by a friend who has found success in alternative treatment for cluster headaches and am wondering if there has been any research/ success with treating vestibular migraines?
I have been struggling with vestibular migraines for 4.5 years, initially being treated for vertigo until being diagnosed by a neurologist. My symptoms include a sudden dropping sensation (as if I’m on a roller coaster), feeling like I’m falling, general dizziness and anxiety after an attack. I also have visual issues, usually starting with “static tv” vision. I rarely have pain but regularly have pressure in my head.
I have been prescribed Propanalol, sumitriptan, rizotriptan, amitriptyline, pizotifen, prochlorperazine and Citalopram. Rizotriptan usually helps ease the migraine slightly, but not when I’m having a bad attack. The next step would be to try Topiramate, however I’m a 27 year old female so it would be difficult to be prescribed this on the NHS.
Has there been any research regarding alternative treatment for vestibular migraines?
Any input would be appreciated
