Hypertension (HTN or HT), also known as high blood pressure (HBP), is a long-term medical condition in which the blood pressure in the arteries is persistently elevated. High blood pressure usually does not cause symptoms. Long-term high blood pressure, however, is a major risk factor for coronary artery disease, stroke,. According to Carol Foster, MD, from the department of otolaryngology and Robert Breeze, MD, a neurosurgeon, there is a strong association between Meniere's disease and conditions involving temporary low blood flow in the brain such as migraine headaches.

Mary Culp I was a patient of Dr.John Eply, the Eply movement would help for a while but to get the relief that i have now with no vertigo he put me on certs or generic betahistine and even with Meneires i have relief if a bad ear infection I have had one or two attacks in the last 20 years. Eply received a two million grant to develope the Eply table but he passed and is daughter finished it and they are in use I understand. I would not want to live with vertigo without Betahistine. Can send a prescription to the Canadian Pharmacy and they will mail it to you or it can be compounded at a local compounding pharmacy.

DO NOT WATCH THIS VIDEO IF YOU HAVE VERTIGO OR OSCILLOPSIA!!! When I got to the part where the camera is trying to imitate how the patient with vertigo sees the world, even though I closed my eyes within 3-4 seconds (it took me that long to realize what the camera was doing), I immediately became nauseous, my vertigo got worse and my oscillopsia came back. I’ve had vertigo for 7 years, and had with it oscillopsia for 4 of those 7 until I went to PT. I will have to go back and do my eye exercises NOW to hopefully allieve this oscillopsia episode, which I have not had for years!!! How foolish of you to create this hazard for the very people you are attempting to help!! And on that note, this appears to be nothing more than a “self epley maneuver”, which anyone with vertigo has had done to them at least once. It is torture, and vertigo still comes back within 1-4 months.

I gave up having it done to me, because if I just waited 7-14 days, the episode would go away on its own. Unfortunately, either way, it still comes back. Somehow I think this is a version of the Epley maneuver that I used many years ago when I was on vacation and on a boat and the boat hit many tree roots and this made the boat shake horribly! This cause the salts that normally would be attached to the hairs in my ear to break free and then they “stimulated” those hairs and caused me to have such horrible dizziness! I could not drive home, I had to have someone else (my hubby) drive me home, after weeks of not being able to even walk in my home, without feeling disabled, I found the Epley maneuver and was able to guide those crystals back into an area of my inner ear that had no hairs. That stopped the stimulation and therefore the dizziness within such a short time! I tried all the meds and all the manovers and none of them worked then I found the voodoo product that worked- you find them in the seasickness aisle at CVS and other stores- they are little bracelets that you put on your arm (wear mine during the day – off at night) and have not had a regular vertigo attack in several years they have a little thing that puts pressure on your wrist- like acupuncture-you wear them 3 fingers down from the edge of your hand and that’s it.

Simple and cheap- they are made for seasickness, chemo and pregnancy!
