For as long as I can remember, I’ve had this odd, almost indescribable sense of imbalance. Not the typical kind you feel after spinning in circles—this was different. It would come in waves, sometimes paired with a dull throbbing in my head or this odd pressure behind one eye. It wasn’t until years later that…
When my niece first described the world “spinning” around her—right in the middle of a normal afternoon play session—we honestly thought she was just being dramatic. But then it happened again. And again. It turned out, we weren’t alone. There’s a surprisingly under-discussed condition in kids called childhood benign paroxysmal vertigo (CBPV), and if you’re…
If you’ve ever felt that rollercoaster-style nausea creeping in after scrolling through your phone too long or riding as a passenger in a car, you’re not alone. I’ve been there—once during a winding mountain drive where the combo of twisty roads and a rising headache had me reaching for both the window and the nearest…
When the room spins but you’re not moving, and your head throbs like it’s caught in a storm, it’s more than just a headache—it’s a combination that many don’t even realize exists: migraine-associated vertigo. I’ve had migraines for years, and for the longest time, I thought the dizziness was just a side symptom. Turns out,…
Last year, I was sitting at my desk editing a video project when suddenly everything felt like it shifted sideways. No pain, no headache—just this surreal spinning sensation that made me clutch the edge of the table.

I know this firsthand—when my head is pounding and there’s this high-pitched ringing that refuses to quit, it’s hard to know which condition is actually driving me off the edge. Turns out,…
If you’ve ever experienced a sudden wave of dizziness, vertigo, ear pressure, or an off-balance feeling that creeps in just before or during a migraine—you’re not alone. For the longest time, I thought my episodes of nausea and ringing in my ears were just random, maybe even stress-related. But it turns out, there’s a deeper…
If you’ve ever been stuck on a boat with a migraine, you know the combination of choppy waves and pounding headaches isn’t exactly a vacation dream. I’ve been there. One minute you’re soaking up the sun, and the next, your head feels like it’s caught between a jackhammer and a blender. Migraines while on a…
Last year, I bought a VR headset on a whim — big discount, couldn’t resist. It was amazing for the first few minutes. Then boom… nausea, a throbbing headache, and this weird sensation that I was still moving even when I wasn’t. At first, I thought it was just me being overly sensitive, but turns…
