Have you ever felt dizzy in a grocery store, scrolling on your phone, or standing in a crowded space? 🌀

For people with Persistent Postural-Perceptual Dizziness (PPPD), these “visually busy” environments can overwhelm the brain — leaving you unsteady, foggy, and exhausted.

The good news is, PPPD is treatable. Vestibular rehabilitation therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy, and sometimes medication can help retrain the brain and ease symptoms. 🌿

Why are crowds so hard with a vestibular disorder?

Busy environments mean:
👀 Constant visual movement
👂 Overwhelming background noise
👣 People shifting in every direction

For the vestibular system, it’s sensory overload. The brain has to work overtime to process balance signals while filtering out distractions — leaving patients exhausted, anxious, or unsteady.

💙 Crowds aren’t just uncomfortable — they can be one of the toughest triggers to navigate with a vestibular disorder.

Because so many patients don’t fit the “classic migraine” picture, they’re often misdiagnosed with stress, anxiety, or “just vertigo.”

This leads to years of unnecessary suffering.

💡 Here’s what sets Vestibular Migraine apart:

*Main symptoms are dizziness, imbalance, or vertigo.
*Can happen with or without headache.
*Often worsened by light, sound, or motion.
*Affects millions — but remains under-recognized.

💙 Awareness changes everything. Vestibular Migraine is real, common, and treatable. Patients deserve answers, not dismissal.
