Vertigo Update

By Matthewspuzzle @matthewspuzzle

So I saw the neurologist yesterday and he dose not feel as if I have any neurological issues! That is very good news. He is ordering an MRI just in case but feels strongly that it will come back negative. He noticed that I sigh a lot, which I already knew. It is related to my asthma and is very typical when you have asthma. Well it can also make you hyperventilate and he feels that may be my issue. He also thinks there could be some migraines playing a part, but not a substantial part. So he wants me to do some things to de-stress. He is suggesting citalopram which is an anti-anxiety drug. I’m not loving this idea.

My acupuncturist also feels it is stress induced but has a different path for healing. I have opted, at least right now, to use the acupuncturist’s ideas and work on trying not to hyperventilate. I am also trying to de-stress in more natural ways. If this doesn’t work then I will try the drugs, but I hate to use drugs for anything unless absolutely necessary.
