Three years is a long time to be dealing with this, and those drop falls sound really frightening. You are definitely not alone in this experience.
One MyMigraineTeam member shared: "When I have a vestibular migraine, I have nonstop dizziness with bouts of spinning vertigo, tinnitus in my left ear, and mild head pain." Another member expressed feeling frustrated because vestibular migraine symptoms got in the way of enjoying time with friends.
Balance problems and loss of stability are recognized symptoms of vestibular migraine, which can absolutely lead to dangerous falls. It's really important to talk to your doctor about the drop falls specifically. There are several treatment approaches that may help with balance and stability, including:
- Preventive medications like beta blockers, taken daily to reduce attack frequency
- Triptans (like sumatriptan) to treat attacks when they happen
- Vestibular rehabilitation therapy, which includes exercises for balance, eye movement control, and strength
- Consistent daily routines — regular sleep, meals, and stress management can make a real difference
Keeping a symptom journal to track triggers is also a helpful tool to bring to appointments.
