Vertigo

I had it three weeks ago after changing eye drops it’s horrific. The dr prescribed me some anti motion sickness tablets but honestly I just stayed in bed it went away.

It’s awful I hope you get sorted soon.

Came on suddenly, Doctor fobbed me off on the Monday. Ended up going to to A+E with the REM early in the morning. Was given antibiotics a few weeks ago which worked. Then the rocking started again, now taking bethastine dhydrochloride.

Stay well chap (y)
 
Anybody had it on here, and any tips.
Staggering, and not in a pretty way.
Yeah had it back in the 90s. Came on out of nowhere. If I turned my head or even just moved my eyes I became dizzy. Couldn't drive 'cos turning my head at junctions was well dodgy.
After a week at home it just went suddenly one day and I was OK. I think it was caused by vestibular neuritis due to a viral infection, possibly latent varicella (chickenpox), because around the same time I suffered pins and needle sensations in my fingers and toes and started getting tiny red blisters on my fingers and toes which was later diagnosed by a consultant as neuritis.
 
I thought I had it a few months ago, when we were high up in the table. Got a little better over time. Not looking forward to being in the auto promotion spots next year :)

Hope you get to feel better soon.
Ironically I can always remember the moment it started as I was walking down Tavistock Road by that small park on Barnabas Road after a night match at Ayresome so maybe the Boro were to blame for mine as well.🙂
 
I've had what I call 'normal' vertigo all my life, usually brought on by tiredness or stress, but it would last a day then a good sleep would see me OK. A couple of years ago I had a really violent episode that lasted for ages and even now I'm so scared of it returning that I take extra care to get up very slowly in the morning. It wasn't the usual spinning, but more like a very fast gyroscope where I was clinging onto the sides of the bed for fear of being thrown off the waltzer - absolutely terrifying.

The consultant did their usual trick of gripping the sides of my face and slamming it sideways into the couch to try to dislodge whatever was irritating the inner ear, but it didn't work for me as it does for many. It took months for it to gradually fade away, but I always have the feeling it's just under the surface and a slight bang on the head will set it off again. The only tip I can give is to have patience, don't make any jerky movements and time will be the healer. Best of luck.

Cheers for that. My only lasting symptoms are when I am laying in bed and it feels like I'm laying on the red sea and floating with the waves, it's really strange feeling. Slowly getting up and sitting on the bed help dramatically, just hope it goes sooner than later.
 
used to get it a few years back. would wake up with it in the morning, would last a day or so. Kept happening so GP sent me to James Cook for tests. The tests basically brought on the vertigo, firing water in your ears, rocking you on platforms, moving images etc. They said they didnt find anything. However since those tests, havent had it since. Doctor said somethimes there are little loose particles that float about in your ears, maybe they washed them out. You can also get a Vertigo virus, which will need antibiotics.
 
Had it about 4 years ago when I got up one morning . Totally and utterly terrifying . I thought I had had a stoke and went straight to A&E. had loads of tests over the following months but eventually got better . Diagnosed with vestibular neuritis . Felt like my head was a bowling ball and when looking forward would roll off my neck or back etc . It’s still haunts me now to be honest and all it takes is a little instant wobble and I get totally panicky regardless of it never coming back properly . I’ll never do on waltzers or anything again but it is and was horrible
