Vertigo and obesity?

Hi All! Happy first day of Spring! I wanted to ask if any of you experience vertigo? I have been trying to get help with it for over two years now. I've had blood work and multiple testing done by ent's, pcp, endocrinologist, obgyn - no one has had a real answer. They all have said its possibly because of my weight. So I'm praying that as I lose the vertigo goes away. I do have type 2 diabetes but my vertigo is random and never correlates with high or low blood sugar. I always test right after a vertigo attack.
Anyone else suffer from vertigo in this group?

Never thought about my weight causing it

I have been to two different ent's. I feel like I get this blanket statement of "It's because of your weight" from everyone I see. I just didn't know if vertigo caused from obesity.0

Medication that didn't previously cause side effects can suddenly! Dont give up on finding an answer!!! Feeling vertigo or dizzy can really put a damper on a day0
