Question: I have been experiencing bouts of vertigo and dizziness for a month. I had a head cold that lasted what felt like for ever and during that head cold i had 2 short periods of vertigo. It's been 2 months since that cold has been in my system. I have a lot of dizziness while walking. It feels like I'm rocking side by side. I've also experienced 2 longer bouts of vertigo where I felt like I was spinning which was frightening, one while I was at the movie theater enjoying my movie. I didn't feel anything coming all but suddenly I was spinning and had to leave the movie it lasted 2 hours . Then next one happened a month later while I was on my period which was quit heavy and that was the same sudden spinning sensation after using the restroom. I am iron deficient my hemoglobin is only 9 due to my period but it does this once in a while I am back taking iron now. I'm perimenopause. I haven't noticed diZiness with the anemia before and I've been anemic off and on for years I so frustrated with this it's making me afraid to drive to town. I went to a neurologist and he did a MRI with contrast with smaller cuts to see in the ear and it was normal as well as the EEG he did a brain stem study and he did say it was slow or abnormal but with MRI normal I'm not sure when he was thinking. I'm tired of the dizziness. I do hear popping in my right ear. Not sure why. It's more like a air suction thumping and it happened today a lot. Any help would be greatly appreciated
