I was..diagnosisd over 20 years ago..No meds or Doctor has figured out. How to treat it. But I will..bare my soul. My episodes each time…get worse and worse to the point. Where I lay in an ER room. Until it goes away. One IV wth Meds. Until I can move and walk around Again. It literally paralyze’s me. I cant even..get out of bed😩
I occasionally get debilitating vertigo attacks. I have to call in to work because driving would be too dangerous when I can’t even stand without falling over
I just found out this year I have vertigo. I vomit I get nauseated I’ve passed out on my job and it effects your memory too. I literally had to give up my apartment because I lived alone I would get up in the middle of the night and fall into the closet or hold on to the wall some cases are worse than others and if people don’t go through it they will think you are crazy
Excallent summary! Tx.
you forgot benign can be from laying down too much
Thanks so much for the info. I’ve suffered for years with mild to big bouts. Just getting over one now. I can only lay in bed while laying on my left side
Thank you so much!
Deaf hole life 😎
I’m covid positive rn and had vertigo when I woke up this morning. Room was spinning like crazy. I laid back down and it went away in an hour or so. I don’t know if it’s related. But now I’m terrified it’s going to come back.

I still have it from time to time. It’s not a good feeling. I was in the car the other day we stopped and parked.And I thought,the car was still moving! What a bad feeling. I had to sit there a while and compose myself before, I could get out!
I just having this issues and first time in my life of having experienced this kind of. My ent specialist gave me steroids but I dont think so if I would help, that feeling of floating and sounds inside the ears I don’t know where it coming from, I needed more helps from someone who experienced the same.
If I want to take a nap I’ll stick my arms above my head and lights out if I’m positioned in a certain way . Or just tip my head back and look up.

Thank U Sir For a WONDERFUL & DETAILED Exxplanation on Vertigo—Helped Me A Lot!!😍😍
Minears disease. Have had bad ear infections from infancy. Never had tubes. I’ve had vertigo since 13 Now at 66 I’ve now lost 50% hearing. Tinnitus is non stop. Going back to see a specialist. Needing relief! hopefully getting some relief.
I’m having vertigo from one week and it’s terrible. I’m sick of being sick 😞 I wanna be normal again 😭 spinning and the feel of body pushing away, tiredness and loss of balance, body aches are worst. I can feel the pain y’all been through.
First time experiencing vertigo today, everything’s spinning and I didn’t know why. This weirdly made me feel a lot safer, thank you
Thanks for sharing this video
Blessings 🙏 Jesus Christ Saves Souls 🙏 1st Corinthians Ch15 Verses1-4 KJV
Currently at the ER with my mom, she’s been experiencing vertigo symptoms since yesterday
4th day of vertigo. My fiancée had to really convince me that the car was t moving when I was trying to get out
Yes Very Helpful it gives me a lot too think of.
Me too went to vertigo problem
It’s like collapsing plz🙏 helpful points to understand
I was just diagnosed with BPPV. I start Epley Maneuvers next week. Dizziness is such a life robbing experience. The feeling of having no control is the worst!
Glioblastoma, Blood Clots/Aneurysm are causes too.
Stay away from those pain killer patches. I would use for shoulder pain and every time I used it I soon had vertigo. Didn’t have before and haven’t had since.
This was informative. I have experienced Vertigo ever since I had a stroke. It has really changed my life
I’ve had bpv for 20 years. Yes they’ve done the epely and log rolls so many times. Doc finally said “you’re 1 in 10,000 who can’t be fixed.” For those of you suffering…I feel for you. I know it’s frustrating when people don’t understand what it feels like. Long term, it paralyzes much of your life. Driving…heights…movement…heck, changing lightbulbs!
I have it . It’s a result of an auto accident. I was hit with a semi truck in door. Knocked me out for 3 days . I don’t remember any of the accident. It’s like a constant roller coaster ride that you have to get off of. I hate roller coaster rides always have . And still do. It’s terrible
Mind you this been almost a year ago . Still happens .
BPPV sucks, I had an ear drum rupture that has been repared and it’s been a game ever since.
I had major vertigo for a couple of years. Sometimes my son had to transport me to and from work. (80 miles roundtrip!)
I went to my PCP, and he sent me to physical therapy, and ordered me to get a Catscan, and an MRI on my head.
This cost quite a bit of $$$. He never really found a cause or a solution.But, , NOW I’m perfectly fine, 4 months later.
I discovered on my own that it was due to an elwctrolyte imbalance.
I’m drinking electrolyte drinks,such as Gatoraid , but normally Propel, ( because it’s cheaper.) Before I found electrolyte drinks I had tried some crazy exercises to resettle "crystals" in my ear canals, and all that silliness. WHAT a waste of time!
This is good to know what connected to vertigo! Wow!
Having your ears boxed by your mom and a high school bully causes vertigo.
This was very informative. I was diagnosed about 10 years ago with atypical meniere’s disease, in that I have no hearing loss except during an attack. When first diagnosed, I was having attacks that put me out for up to 12 weeks at a time over a 2 1/2 yr period. Finally, with a change in life style and medication I am relatively vertigo free. I have small dizzy spells every day but they are manageable and every few months I will have a bad attack that puts me down for a day or two. I have discovered that my most of my attacks are linked to stress or my migraines – bright lights and flashing lights, large crowds, very loud noises can send me into an attack,. I know when one is coming and get somewhere safe – overwhelming sensation of instant fatigue, blurred vision, hearing loss after a high pitch squeal and sweating; I travel with a cane every where I go, just in case. I prefer not to drive at night. As I am now in my 60’s, I am expecting things to start increasing again. You have given me a proper name for what I have, shown me where the problem lies and a direction to discuss with my physician. Thank you.
thanks

Thank you I have found this to be life-changing. I want to stay connected with more ongoing conversations.
I had it now and it’s horrible I couldn’t sleep for the past few days either, when I lie down the spinning will be extremely bad and I always have to sit up to feel better. I kept vomiting out my foods which is horrible too I’m upset I wish I can get this over with! 🙁
i experienced a serious bout of vertigo last year which lasted for about a week. I could barely stand. I was nauseous. I could barely eat or drink. I was laid up for a week. I still feel light headed at time sand I rise up very slowly because I sense I could start the spinning again. Vertigo is horrible.
Vestibule migraine, with No migraine pain , with be from a major accident when I was younger
I have Positional Vertigo and it comes and goes. I’m miserable when it acts up though. So dizzy and it gets worse if I close my eyes. I have exercises to do when it comes up and they usually helps
Vertigo is not fun my grandmother has it and now I’m getting it and I swear I wish I wasn’t it makes me dizzy it makes me feel like I’m going to pass out I haven’t got the throwing up feeling part yet I hope not it makes my grandmother fall I’m going to get blood work to find out if I have vertigo I hope not but something’s going on and it makes me feel like I’ve been drinking and I’m dizzy I pray for all of us and I mean all of us I pray for us in Jesus name 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾😭😭
