Vertigo?

[doriswe]

Anyone ever have vertigo? If so, can you tell me about it?

*I'm diagnosing myself on WebMD right now and think that's what I have...but it could also be a brain tumor

A lady I work with thought she had it, but it turned out she had some weird allergy/sinus thing going on--benedryl and a decongestant fixed her right up.

My BFF had it. It was awful to see her go through. It was 15 years ago so I don't remember too many details. I know it took multiple dr visits before she got the correct diagnosis and medication, which did end up helping her.

My Mom has it too. She has a medication she takes when she's experiencing symptoms, it eases the symptoms but doesn't take them away.

Have you had your ears checked to see if it's an inner ear thing?

[doriswe]

I'm going to bet it has something to do with my left ear. On Sunday, I had to completely submerge into ice water and when I came back up, I had that water logged feeling in my left ear. I couldn't shake it the whole day.

Might just be an ear thing, maybe water that didn't clear or an infection. Go to thy doctor!

I feel yucky currently...going to go to urgent care when I get back home.

My bet is the ear, too. I hope you feel better soon

I have experienced it when I have had an ear infection in the past. Also when coming off anti-depressants too.

Grrr...getting through this afternoon is proving to be entertaining. I stole saltines from the officers and am trying to not go crazy.

doriswe- it could defiantly be caused by the water in your ear. Your ears have way more to do with your balance then people think that they do.

I hope it goes away right away.

No experience but I hope you figure it out and it's not a tumor, lol.

Webmd worked! It's vertigo, bppv to be exact. Getting meds to help with the nausea and a referral to pt for therapy.
