Do you think my condition is vestibular migraine?

Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

Your unilateral vestibular imbalance could be because of some previous attack of vestibular neuritis which has left back its impressions. I am saying this because at present you do not have any fever, nausea, or vomiting nor any ringing sounds in your ear. Yours is just a vestibular imbalance added on with some cervical spondylitis issues. Your condition cannot be called Meniere's as your symptoms do not fit into it. Gabapentin is a kind of antiepileptic drug which can act on subtle unusual presentations of fits or sometimes even unusual migraine. The doctor must have prescribed it to rule out such situations by a trial course of medication. I suggest you try it for a week and look at the response. If your giddiness is not responding, stop using that drug. But my advice would be to avoid any drug. Keep doing your physiotherapy to your neck as well as vestibular rehabilitation exercises. Maintain good postures during work. Allow your body to compensate and adjust itself. Be patient and believe me they would definitely help.
