Sitting position

Hi all first of my strange questions, sorry 🙂

Do you get an increase in symptoms when sitting? For me when I'm standing or walking I don't get the tingle around my left temple but when sitting and not looking forward it's there. Don't get me wrong it's not painful just a tad annoying.

Hi Dave, that’s a good one, I tend to agree with you but maybe because when you are sitting there is less to distract you and you notice more?

Mine is when I go to bed and the kids are asleep I notice more as it’s finally quite.

I have been getting a tight feeling in my hair parting which is random I don’t know if that is associated?

Hi,

The tingle that I feel could also be described as a tight feeling.

Guess I will keep standing up ☺️

Hello Dave

My dizziness and nausea are worse when I'm upright and walking around. Sometimes I just have to give in gracefully and sit down to wait for them to pass. Especially bad vertigo on escalators and long stairs leading down. I ask whoever I'm with to go down first and I follow them focusing on the back of their head! If I'm on my own I wait for someone to go down and follow them or I use the lift (elevator)!

I used to get feelings of nausea when I laid down flat - but my GP has now worked out that may be due to GORD, which I was diagnosed with at the end of last year. I used to have to sleep with my head raised up on pillows.

What other synptons do you have?

Stay safe,

Tabby

Hi thanks for your reply.

In all honesty I only have that slight tingle but I have had electric shock like pains around my eye. This is probably due to the squatter pushing on my nerve or growing on it. I feel quite lucky as there are people alot worse off than me. Although the squatter is 2.4cm fingers crossed I'm not in a bad way, I'm still working 14h days.

Not what you're looking for?
