Mother has non-stop dizzy spells - unless lying down

Over the past several months my mother (80yo) has been experiencing continuous dizzy spells. She has been to several ENT - who seem to have ruled out vertigo, sleeping with a CPAP, tried acupuncture, stays hydrated but the medical community seems bewildered as to what it may be - im looking for solutions for anyone who has been thru something similar. thank you very much

Mild concussion

Labrynthitis

Tinnitus

Normal pressure hydrocephalus

Glasses not correct

Sinus issues (may not see or feel it)

Age can make meds too strong in system at times - as in a build up. Have a med check and see if any can be reduced one at a time to reduce fall risk.

Viscous fluid in eyes can leak very slowly.

Benign positional vertigo NOS

Check it out. I’ll add if I need to. I’m guessing minor sinus issues.

Best of luck to you and mom.
