Hey all, thought I would let you know that it finally happened, I had another attack of vertigo. This was my second one. I thought I had gotten off somewhat easy, having had one true vertigo attack. I was going to bed last night when I noticed I felt off-balance and dizzy. When I laid down in bed, I was spinning. If I laid on my right side, the wall started to move. I stayed on my left side all night, since that only made me feel woozy, but not like the room was spinning. I have an appt. to see the neuro-oto guy at 2 pm. Does this sound familiar to anybody. Does this tell me once and for all that it is a problem with my right ear? Any info would be great! Today, I am just really tired and off. I thought it was getting better and then this. Like we all have said, that always seems to be the case.
Hey Dizzy2,
Sorry to hear about your attack, I would never wish that crap on anyone! It sounds suspiciously to me like a BPPV attack if it was worse lying in one particular position. Have you done any manoeuvers?
You have probably been to the doctor by now depending on your time zone, hope you got some answers, kind of coincidental with the timing of the attack.
I really hope you are feeling better and the spins have stopped.
Let us know how it worked out at the apt.
Yes, I have seen the doctor. He moved my head around in different directions and put some goggles on my eyes that check for movement, but there was none. He does not think it is BPPV. So, I am still without answers. I am not spinning anymore, just the hungover feeling. Thanks for your concern, it does help that I know I am not the only person dealing with this. I just want it to go away!!!!!
That is too weird! Does he not have any idea as to what it is? Weird too that it came and went so fast, but must be worrying when you don't know if another attack is coming. How long did the actual spinning last?
Hope that's the last of it for you.
Where did he leave you in terms of future testing or figuring this out?
Look up Meniere's and see if this fits any of your problems.
Vertigo is one of its symptoms.
I suffer from Meniere's and at least after finding out what was going on with me, I am not as scared when it happens. It has greatly affected my life and I can't work due to it and severe allergic reactions- but I can manage some of the symptoms that go along with it- now that I know what "It" is!
