Dr Shin Beh, MD and all things Vestibular Migraine

Published 2021-05-25
Dr. Shin Beh, MD , is one of few U.S. neurologists who specializes in evaluating and nonsurgically treating vestibular disorders – including vertigo, dizziness, and problems with balance – and visual disorders arising from brain abnormalities. As the founding Director of UT Southwestern Medical Center’s Vestibular Neurology and Neuro-Visual Disorders Clinic, Dr. Beh sees many people who have nearly lost hope of having their problems correctly diagnosed and treated.

Here on Talk Dizzy To Me, we sing Dr. Beh's praises, alongside with one of our favorite guests, Alicia Wolf (the Dizzy Cook). On this episode Abbie and Dani dive a little deeper with some generalized treatment and diagnosis questions, as well as some more clinician based topics. From VNGs and goggle testing, to treatment devices, Dr. Beh has the 411.

You can find his book on amazon at: www.amazon.com/Victory-Over-Vestibular-Migraine-He…

    I watch every video featuring Dr. Beh. He seems like the most caring doctor. He listens to his patients. I wish there was a Dr. Beh in every state.

    “When you wrote something like this it’s relatable” lol relatable???? I was crying during the whole chapter 1 of the book!!! Finally Someone is able to explain how I feel…

    I'm so thankful to have found these sessions! It's been 10 years for me. Told it's BPPV but VOT hasn't worked, I keep getting attacks and they then said vertiginous Migraines and now feel like the ENT doc can't figure it out to stop these and has referred me out to a headache specialists. I feel like I have to figure this out myself as I cannot function when these attacks hit and can last for months. I need to get this book by Dr Beh!
  • If you have not yet read Dr. Beh’s book on Vestibular Migraine I cannot recommend it highly enough. Packed full of great info. and you will not regret it.

    A million things out there, (most of them money makers, sorry) but many folks ignore the basics: diet, stress, sleep, supplementation, and exercise. Being aware that migraine is a threshold disease. Be your own physician. No one knows your body better than you do. For vestibular, watch the sodium/potassium balance. Stress is a MAJOR trigger in any kind of migraine. The body gets depleted and out of balance. Returning to homeostasis is key to healing.
  • I loved the video! Thank you so much. Any suggestions for me to visit a specialist in London? I have BPPV and VM with no pain. Many thanks 🙏
  • @pattiel1108
    Canyou please clarify all the acronyms you all are using? Thank you!
  • If you have VM and Tumarkins, would you say that this must be a case of Menieres too?
  • @gjop-xm2xe
    Any suggestion for a dr in Phoenix as I have m s and the neurologist doesn’t do this diagnosis
  • @lisabrekke1170
    Can you add the link for the article Dani references to give to patients as a warm up to VM?
  • @Fl3213
    Is it common to have vestibular migraine or migraine related dizziness and have no nystagmus? I’ve had therapists try maneuvers to try and see nystagmus and I don’t have it. A lot of the head maneuvers therapists have done don’t trigger dizziness just nausea.
  • Iv had a migraine since my 1st period Then pri menopause I got vertigo and the migraine was nearly ever day for 3 years. I tried some preventive meds some I could not take. Some never worked I went to see a Neurologist and he said I had vestibular migraine and he would try me on botox. But then the migraine got less and I thought that my hormones must be settling down So I never had the botox. But last March they came back with a vengeance. My life stopped again. Iv been taking magnesium and b2 for 3 months and the vm has been less . But iv had a migraine for seven days now. This morning I had no migraine I was so happy But by 4 pm its back and very painful. I am waiting for botox but it was supposed to be in march then it got put back to may Then November and now they don't no when Am number 43 on the list and the hospital say theirs no staff . Am in the u.k Am so fed up I want some life. Vm is so debilitating. I also have chronic fatigue syndrome. Which iv had 16 yrs also I have shingles for 16yrs. And no one cares. I did try the head set celfy but it made the migraine worse. Please could you tell me what others are available. Thank you 😊
  • I have vestibular migraine and my neurologist in Atlanta doesn't know about EMDR and doesn't treat PTSD. Have any of you tried EMDR for PTSD-related issues? For my dizziness, I have had very positive results from acupuncture and supplements listed in Dr. Beh's book, but still have photophobia, phonophobia, and osmophobia exacerbated by stress/lack of sleep.
  • @Foxybodydom
    Does vestibular migraine cause head pressure and face pressure too?
  • Please get me out of this MdDS hell after four years and counting. I need it to stop. I went to Mount Sinai and gyrostim in Asheville. I have done almost everything.

    Did you know the word "Cephaly" is the greek word for head? Yes, indeed. Kefali is the greek pronounciation.
