Re: Vestibular Testing Question

[Guest guest]

Hi ,

I've had this 3 hours, grueling test done...sorry, about the grueling

part. It's not that bad, really. You'll be OK. I'm not exactly sure if it

will be helpful or not, because of the Chiari. I'm still trying to figure out

if my postural dizziness is from BPPV or Chiari or both or from the POTS.

It's really hard to pin point dizziness. I say you should go for it and see

if they can get a clearer picture. BTW, about the eye connection, your

opthamologist is right to a point. Vision is important for balance. If you

have the eye jerking and bouncing vision (oscopillia) or if your eye muscles

are tired, you will get it dizzy, but it all goes back to the Chiari. Good

luck, honey.
