Hi everyone! So another October, another few weeks of INCREASED Tinnitus and vertigo. As I have mentioned before, I seem to always get my issues in the fall. Wayyy back in 2009, it first happened in December. I then had 10 years of no Vertigo attacks until Fall of 2019. Since then every October I begin to have issues again. Ringing increases, head feels cloudy one day, fine the next, cloudy the next. Then usually a couple of attacks and then NOTHING from December-August again. My attacks seem to vary, one year they would last for 1-2 hours+, this year so far only last 2-3 mins and then disappear. During this month of head cloudiness I usually only get 2-3 attacks, and then nothing until the next year. This year it started on vacation, I was in 25C (75F +) degree temperatures all week until we spent a couple days on a mountain where the temperature dropped to 10C/50F degrees at night. The first night I began to feel head fullness! Upon returning home to 10C/50F temps the issues came back again. So what is causing the Vertigo to be Seasonal? Colder temperatures causing ear canals or euthacian tube to close up? I have Tinnitus all year long, but only have vertigo episodes in the fall. Anyone else seem to have Seasonal Vertigo? What is the issue here?! Thanks in advance.
You mentioned that in a previous post too. My seasonal allergies are strictly in the summer months and dissapear after August/September. Which allergies are strictly fall only anyways?!
Well I don't have any allergy symptoms come fall. Not sure trees is what's causing Tinnitus and Vertigo with no other symptoms. I also have TMJ cracking and neck tightness most of the year. Perhaps the colder weather affects the bones and muscles to the point that it constricts that area?
Sounds like a possibility, because neck tightness can put the cervical spine into misalignment (it does for me). As I have mentioned previously in other posts, I find significant relief from vertigo by going every 3 weeks or so to a Palmer Method chiropractor who has a nerve scanner that detects where/if there is misalignment, and then he targets his little "karate chop" to the exact area. Other chiropractors did not help.
