Re: Vertigo ... or BPPV
I hate heights too even on tv if there is a shot from a high building I feel anxious...I've never put a name to it though and to be honest it doesn't impact much on my life.Re: Vertigo ... or BPPV
Welcome back Morty!Re: Vertigo ... or BPPV
I too get blinding headaches, Giddy spells and now and again lose my balance and fall over. I have given up seeing the Doctor as I honestly think they don,t care if you are elderly. I saw my GP and was told it was probably caused by either an inner infection (He did not look in my ears) or due to high blood pressure (He did not check my blood pressure) I was given stronger pain killing tablets and told to 'take things easy' All in all I was in the consulting room all of three minutes. The strange thing is that when I am sat or laid down I am fine, it,s just when I stand.Re: Vertigo ... or BPPV
It is a horrible condition. I also know Carol has suffered with this and had to do the exercises (to try and dislodge the misplaced crystals in the ear). I didn’t do them but just waited for it to clear on its own (but did see the GP, and was given drugs to help with the dizziness). It was frightening, as when I tried to get out of bed my body just slammed back downwards. I couldn’t control it.Re: Vertigo ... or BPPV
I first experienced Vertigo (alias Labrynthitis) almost exactly one year ago.Re: Vertigo ... or BPPV
I have a fear of heights although I understand it is a completely different thing to vertigo, the medical condition. I don't suffer from it as such but have had a couple of instances where just walking has felt like bouncing on a trampoline. A very, very weird feeling which went away after an hour or so. I'm guessing it was an ear problem, not sure if it is the same as vertigo though.Re: Vertigo ... or BPPV
So sorry to hear you have this rotten condition Mort but I'm glad to see you posting, I was hoping you were ok.Re: Vertigo ... or BPPV
