My doctor confused BPPV with meneire's? Is he gaslighting me???
Sooo THISSS is gonna be a bit longg butt I'D REALLY LOVEEE IF YOU GUYSS HELPP THIS TEEN OUT HERE OR NOTHING JUSTTT PLSSS HELPPPP. Alsoo, thiss is my first time posting sumthn on reddit lawl. (Not the first time but LIKEE okayy whatever)
NOTE: I'VE BEEN EXPERIENCING THIS FOR PAST 2-3 YEARS BTW. EVERY 6 MONTHS THE SPINS LAST 6-7 DAYS BUT THESE LAST 2 MONTHS I'VE EXPERIENCING THEM TWICE THAT TOO MORE THAN 10 DAYS A MONTH YKWIM.
I feel like the room is spinning, and it's positional vertigo btw because spins only get triggered when I'm tilting my head or looking up or down, or rolling over bed. I get 6-7 spins every day and EACH SPIN LASTS FOR 30-50 SECS. THAT'S IT. 30-50 SECS PER SPINNNN
ANDD this used to go on for LIKEE 5-7 days but for the past 2 months, this occurred twice a month, and lasted for more than 10 days.
I went to an ENT 4 days back and mentioned each and every symptom and forgot to mention the main one THAT IS THE TIMING OF EACH SPINN sooo after I was done with explaining to him whatever the hell is going on with me, HE TOOK A NOTE AND WROTE ON IT (IN BIGGG CAPITAL LETTERS BTW) — MENEIRE'S DISEASE LIKEEE surrrr??? Areee we really diagnosing MENEIRE'S without any actual testttt??? (Correct me if I'm wrong but I've done my research and as per that NO ONE CAN DIAGNOSE MENEIRE'S WITHOUT ANY ACTUAL TEST)
I did my research on the BPPV LIKEEE alottt in the past 2-3 years ANDDD had been bugging my mom ever since to take me to an ENT and get it tested with that Dix-Hallpike test and finally we WENTTT out 4 days ago and doctor didn't waste a single minute to diagnose me with Meneire's.
Sooo I visited him today as well and explained to him the timing of the spin correctly, and asked him to actually test me for BPPV but he went like BPPV LASTS FOR ONLY FEW MONTHS BUT YOURS IS THE CASE OF YEARS and that there's no test for BPPV and that I've to get CT scan or MRI and stuff. (did my research on that as well and came to know that CT scans and MRI doesn't help AT ALL in detecting BPPV)
EVEN THOUGH I TRIED MY BEST TO EXPLAIN TO HIM WHERE I'M COMING FROM HE JUST DIDN'T GET ME AND PRESCRIBED ME 4 MORE DAYS OF MEDS FOR MENEIRE'S.
SOOO ALLL I WANNAA ASKK IS IF I'M THE ONE WHO'S IN DELULU AND THINKING THAT I'VE BPPV ORR SHALLL I GO TO ANOTHER ENT 'CAUSE THAT'S WHAT I'M PLANNING TO DO BTW.
Andddd I know I've said that I did my research many times but i actually did my research soo yeahh HELPPP MEEEE. I'M NOT SAYING I KNOW BETTER THAN ANYY SPECIALIST BUT I DIDD MY RESEAR-
