Vestibular disorders come with horrible symptoms, including vertigo, dizziness, nausea, and brain fog, to mention a few. It’s no wonder we all want a “miracle pill." Unfortunately, no one treatment works for every person.
In this episode of the ICU Podcast, the hosts talk to vestibular patient Lily Carillo who has been on that road, as well as Dr. Nicholas Hac, MD who explains how he determines what the appropriate medication is for his patients.

About the Guests:
Dr. Nicholas Hac: Dr. Hac is an assistant professor in the Comprehensive Neurology Division with an ambulatory focus in vestibular and oto-neurology and clinical practice as a neurohospitalist. Dr. Hac completed his residency at Northwestern in 2020 and a neurohospitalist instructorship in 2021 before pursuing a fellowship in vestibular and ocular motor otoneurology at Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine.
Lily Carillo: When Lily was in her early 20’s she had management positions that made her feel stressed and anxious. Then in her mid 20's she had her first vertigo episode. It was scary and lasted about three days. She went to many specialists who prescribed medication for dizziness, but none of these drugs helped. In her late 30's she had a vertigo episode that lasted more than a month. She couldn't walk around her home and couldn't work. Brain fog and fatigue were there everyday. Finally she found a vertigo specialist, and, as she describes, that’s when “the miracle happened.”
