🌀 *PPPD: When the World Doesn’t Stop Spinning – Even If You’re Standing Still* Over the last few years, I’ve met three people who changed the way I understand dizziness: 👨‍💼 *A 36-year-old CEO* of a billion-dollar pharma company. 👨‍💻 *A 47-year-old startup co-founder* from Bangalore. 👨‍🎓 *An 18-year-old engineering student* struggling with hostel life. They had one thing in common: A strange, persistent sensation of movement that *no scan could catch.* > “It feels like I’m moving… but I’m not.” > “My head feels floaty, like I’m on a boat.” > “Something’s swirling above my scalp all the time.” They had seen multiple doctors. Done multiple MRIs. All normal. And most were told: 🧠 *“It’s just anxiety.”* But what they were experiencing was something *very real*: *Persistent Perceptual Postural Dizziness (PPPD)* --- *What is PPPD?* PPPD is a condition where your *brain and balance system* get stuck in a loop of confusion. 🌀 Constant dizziness or reeling 😵‍💫 Floaty or unsteady feeling 📉 Worse with stress, poor sleep, or exertion 🧪 No abnormalities on tests – but very real symptoms --- *Here’s the truth:* ✅ *PPPD is real.* ✅ *It can be treated.* ✅ *It needs more than just pills.* What helps: 🌙 *Sleep discipline* 🥗 *Regular food timings* 🧘‍♂️ *Mindfulness and breathwork* 💬 *Being heard and understood* 🤝 *Personal responsibility for healing* --- One of my patients said: _'Sir, I can’t sleep early. My roommates don’t.'_ I gently replied: *“Healing is your journey. You lead it. Not your friends.”* --- If you're struggling with dizziness that *nobody understands* — *you are not alone.* *PPPD doesn’t show on scans. But it’s real. And it’s treatable.* 🧠 Rewire your balance. 🧘‍♀️ Reconnect with your rhythm. 💪 Reclaim your life.
