I'm experiencing a weird vibration sensation in the tip of my penisit's not painful, just really annoying. I haven't had unprotected sex or anything, but I do have a spinal issue from L1 to L5, where my spinal cord and nerves get compressed. Could this vibration be a new symptom related to my back problem, or should I be concerned about an infection? It's starting to worry me a bit.

Overcoming Functional Vertigo-Related Dizziness with Exercises

Understanding Functional Vertigo

  1. Inner ear and balance system: Functional vertigo affects the vestibular system, which regulates balance and equilibrium.
  2. Dizziness and disorientation: Symptoms include dizziness, lightheadedness, and disorientation.

Exercises to Help Overcome Functional Vertigo

  1. Vestibular rehabilitation therapy (VRT) exercises:
    • Brandt-Daroff exercises: Repeat 5-10 times, 3 times a day.
    • Epley maneuver: Repeat 3-5 times, 3 times a day.
  2. Balance and gaze stabilization exercises:
    • Stand on a foam pad or pillow with eyes closed.
    • Focus on a fixed point while moving your head.
  3. Canalith repositioning procedure (CRP) exercises:
    • Lie on your side with the affected ear facing down.
    • Slowly turn your head to the opposite side.

Additional Tips

  1. Consult a healthcare professional: Before starting any exercises, consult a doctor, physical therapist, or vestibular specialist.
  2. Start slowly and progress gradually: Begin with gentle exercises and gradually increase intensity and duration.
  3. Practice regularly: Consistency is key to improving balance and reducing dizziness.

I'm going through treatment for Abdominal TB and since April 2016, my liver got affected too and I was close to having jaundice. My doctor switched up some meds, and now I'm on a daily streptomycin injection plan for 60 days. I'm on injection number 33, but lately, I've been feeling super dizzy all the time and find it hard to maintain my balance while walking. At first, I thought it might just be weakness, especially since I returned to work in mid-June, but when it persisted for 34 days, I saw my doctor again. He thinks it's Vertigo and gave me some medicine, but it's been 2.5 weeks and there's no sign of improvement. I even checked in with an ENT and the cochlear and audiometric tests turned out normal. I'm really getting anxious about this dizziness and imbalance. Do you think this can be cured, and should I be seeing a specific type of doctor for help? I can't even manage car rides anymore. Any advice or suggestions you might have would really mean a lot to me.
