WLS Success-through Powerful Positive Attitudes
XP: Anyone experience VERTIGO?
Well this morning I have gotten up... managed the RISE part- but definately NOT a day for me to SHINE...
the following is what I posted on the main board... just trying to cover all my bases... searching for info.... I hope everyone else is having a better start to their week!:
Just wondering if anyone out there has experienced Vertigo.. and if you know what causes it... or how it can be dealt with.
I got up this am- early like I always do and the bedroom was SPINNING! I had to hold onto things to walk to the bathroom. It seemed like I had a difficult time focusing also.
Years ago- teen years at times I would wake up with the sensation of spinning and would reach my hand out of bed to the floor and it would and the spinning would stop immediately.
this morning nothing stopped it. Got into the bathroom and held onto the sink to steady myself. Didn't feel like I was going to pass out or anything like that... just everything around me was in motion.
Went out to the living room and sat down... things seemed to calm down quite a bit... but when I got up things were still off kilter.
I put a phone call into the doctor (my PCP) and am waiting for a return call.
Could dehydration cause this? Or vitamins --- but I've been doing well with both of these... I just don't know what to think...
I just don't feel safe to drive today... so I'm home.
good grief! what next???

I had problems with this; though it was far worse when I'd lay down. The moment my head hit the pillow, I'd feel like I was on a roller coaster.
It resolved itself, but mine was benign paroxysmal position vertigo.
Do you suffer from low blood pressure, as this could also be the cause.

My best friend gave me the best advice
He said each day's a gift and not a given right
Leave no stone unturned, leave your fears behind
And try to take the path less traveled by
That first step you take is the longest stride

ok here's the latest..
called the doctor and he called in an order of meclizine...(sp?) to control the symptoms. I took it for 4 days. Thankfully, haven't had any more symptoms. It took that long for me to feel fully better.
at the time... I think my bp was low... but by the time they took it at the doc's office I had been sitting there getting a bit preturbed so up it went to a normal level.
So... at least now I have some pills in case I have another event.
I will try to keep hydrated to proper degree- take my vits- and anything else that may have an impact on this weird symptom!!!

Thank you for the mommy Yvonne report. I'm feeling better now! You crack me up that your blood pressure went up a little at the doc's. Hey maybe every time you start to feel dizzy you can imagine sitting in the doc's office! Between that and the medicine I hope you'll be better now.
