I agree with dancermom Nay, talk to your neurologist. It could be something or it could be nothing. When I started feeling more dizzy, light headed, etc. my neurologist sent me for lots of test. One of them, an EEG, was to see if I had developed a seizure disorder (I hadn't, by the way). He did order a new MRI just to make sure nothing was there (there wasn't). Basically, after all of the tests and the MRI he established that there is nothing new wrong with me, except the vertigp. He didn't know why my dizziness had increased. He did send me to see a physical therapist that specializes in helping people with vertigo. That didn't really help me. So, I do know that for me it comes and goes. It's sometimes worse than others and there isn't much I can do about it. I also know that the AVM is indeed 100% gone. One thing I would recommend is making sure that you try to stay rested. For me, the vertigo is worse when I'm overly tired. Not sure that helped, Nay but at least you know you're not alone :)

Make an appointment, Nay. I have no idea of there's anything to worry about, but you will have more peace of mind when you have discussed your symptoms with your neurologist.
