Vertigo not going away

[sp1ritual]

I'm five days into a vertigo attack and desperate for some help. I have had vertigo before, severe but lasting, at most, a few days. I can't eat and feel sick all the time. Even turning in bed sends the world spinning. My ears have wax and I'm wondering if trying to remove it at home would help

When it starts I take 2 stugeron twice each day then 1 twice a day. I also do Epley's manoevre which you can find on You Tube. The GP told me that whilst it is bad I can take 2 stugeron 3 times each day.

I get positional vertigo often. Milder than your symptoms in that I don't get the associated nausea. Fiddling about with my ears has never helped and sometimes makes it worse. I really would not suggest you try to remove wax at home because I doubt that is the problem and in any case you need a professional to remove it if it is the problem. There is medication for vertigo - have you tried contacting your GP or NHS111? I've not tried it myself as my symptoms are never that severe and I avoid medication unless it is absolutely vital. But several friends have tried it and say it helps. Hope you feel better soon.

I have only had one severe attack which came on after surgery. The GP prescribed some tablets. I cannot remember what they were. Maybe good idea to contact them. Good luck.

Similar symptoms, last century I was diagnosed with Labyrinthitis & prescribed Betahistine. Ten years later diagnosed with Meniures (sp) disease again prescribed Betahistine (because it had worked before). My own doctor called me in to do some tests because he was the balance expert of the practice. He told me both diagnosis were wrong and that it's Right Sided Vestibular disease & showed me an exercise. Later learnt the Epley Manoeuvre which works a treat so I do it whenever the dizziness begins. Amazing, demos on YouTube
