Question:
My thoughts on that though, and i only know part of your situation, is that the pulse is generated through the arteries, meaning coming from the heart into the arms, not from the arm back toward the heart or brain. That leads me to think that dizziness has to come from somewhere else. Now, if you have growth into the spinal cord at C5-C6, that is of course a different story. If your Carotid artery (the one on either side of your neck)or you BasoVertebral artery are narrowed or blocked that will definetely do it. This one of the test done or should be done by MDs as well as DCs, it is called "George's test" also, "Kline's test".

I am no expert on dizziness, but i think there should be something else doing it, more at a higher level, meaning more somewhere in the head.( i am not saying "its in your head", i mean physically.) Sometimes, we just miss the most obvious.

And I just want to help. Just off the wall question, have you seen an ENT doctor at all since you were getting dizzy (Ear, nose , throat)? Since the ear plays a major role in interpreting and keeping balance. Maybe he/she could just check it and do some "balance test." Again, i am no expert, but sometimes you might be surprised. My sister who was very healthy had Dizziness for years( teenage and early 20s), and constantly hitting her head on the cabinet doors. No one could help her. They thought "it was in her head", until one day they got it resolved. how many survivors on this list have fallen after TBI? Second brain injury?

Answer: Since my TBI, I have fallen a lot, twice broken bones (leg and wrist). Neither time did I hit my head, but I have fallen and bashed it against a wall. Maybe the head banging kept me from hitting the floor so hard so nothing broke! I fall frequently but without another head injury that I know of... There are three men I know not on this list.... one has not fallen... the other one fell from a roof and the third one had something fall on him (hit in the head). Two out of four of us have experienced second head injuries.

I have fallen off my push bike on two ocassions, and continually bump into things when I stagger to the toilet in the night (head swimming).

In 1992 my Neurosurgeon reported that I had loss of balance and distorted vision, both causing Dizziness. In December 1996 I told the Doctor my balance and dizziness was getting worse. He wrote to the Neuro. He wrote back saying it was unlikely I developed nausea, and intermittent vertigo due to my head injury
