Hi Dr. Bruce,
My medical has expired, so I would it renewed from a Transport Canada DME before I can fly again.
I think it's unlikely that my dizziness is caused by a viral infection - I don't have any other symptoms. As for BPPV, I'm not experiencing vertigo or any of the other symptoms and I've had different doctors perform the maneuvers to check if it is that.
I haven't had any hearing loss or ringing, so Meniere's is probably unlikely, too.
I am only flying on a Category 3 (Private Pilot - Airplane), Day VFR, but I'm not sure how much the regs differ from that of a transport pilot.
Anyway, thanks for your thoughts.
When I had some bloodwork done about a month ago, I also had an EKG done. I just learned that the results are in. Perhaps I can get lucky and the attending doctor at the walk-in will be the aviation doc. Then, I can pick her brain a bit more about my situation.
I've had my first physio appt and that seems promising. Apparently, once I'm good at standing with one foot in front of the other with my eyes closed, I'm supposed to bend my knees and repeatedly squat on the spot in that position.
The osteopath person wants to use craniosacral therapy, which I'm a bit skeptical about. Because she isn't technically a licensed osteopath, it falls under a different category for my benefits and there isn't as much coverage. I may put it on hold to give physio a few weeks try.
