Hey I'm going to book appointment with a doctor who specialises in vertigo. My last doctor was an ENT who had an interest in vertigo but I'm not too sure he diagnosed me correctly. not intending to book at the moment as I've only had vertigo for 6 months and been feeling a bit better the last 2 weeks apart from the tinnitus. Wat would people recommend a neurologist or otorhinolaryngologist? And If I do have a severe episode can I take diazapam with prochlorperazine. If I can't take them together which one is best? I know prochlorperazine is good for nausea and vomitting but what about diazapam? Thanks
I'd have to go private because my GP will refer me to a standard ENT doctor. I'll probably wait another 6 months to see how I feel and I'll hopefully get an accurate hearing test too as it might not of affected my hearing yet.
To be exact - Otoneurologist who specializes in dynamic computational posturometry and videonistagmometry tests
Hey I found a neuro-otologist who specialise in vertigo.Is this the same thing? And one who specialises in tinnitus and hearing loss.
I think neuro-otologist is the same as otoneurologist. Most importantly are dynamic computational posturometry and videonistagmometry tests. With these tests otoneurologist can determine the origin of vertigo and can rule out other causes than MD. You should check before appointment whether this otoneurologist doing these tests. Good luck!
I think an otoneurologist is not a surgeon. You want the neurotologist. Very similar sub-specialties though. What state/country are you in? You mentioned roundabouts in another post. I assumed Massachusetts. Maybe someone can recommend one near you. Jim
