Slight vertigo "on a boat" feeling randomly ocuring in a day for 6 months, spacing out a lot, tense neck & jaw. i have tmj but dentist said it's fine

See PCP: There are many causes of vertigo. Most of the time this is due to viral infection of the inner ear. However, there are more serious causes and it would be difficult to diagnose without an office visit. I would see your PCP.

Vertigo? TMJ?: If you have TMJ dysfunction, it can't be fine. What are your TMJ symptoms and how is it being treated? Tense neck and jaw may be due to bruxism (chronic teeth grinding and/or clenching), which leads to TMJ dysfunction. See your medical doctor for the vertigo. If there is no medical reason, see a dentist who specializes in TMJ dysfunction.

Vertigo, TMJ: See your physician for the vertigo. If you truly have TMJoint symptoms and your dentist said, "it's fine", consider seeing another dentist who might have more training and experience in treating patients with TMD\TMJoint issues. Early intervention and treatment is always better than waiting until you have more severe or frequent symptoms.

TMJ vs Ear: Dentists often don't know much about TMJ. Imbalance is a common TMJ symptoms. I'd recommend consults with a TMJ expert and an ENT doc.

See ENT: Dizziness, vertigo, and motion sickness all relate to the sense of balance and equilibrium in the ear. See ENT for consultation.
