Dizzy

[Tamka39]

Yesterday was ok until I had a dizzy spell / lightheaded and had to lay in bed all day I was so scared to get out of bed or move because I didn't want it to happen again. I swear once I say am doing better something always pop up now today I feel off balance going to the doctor to get checked to see if I have vertigo because I had ear problems since a kid I feel struck today very unhappy

Hello Tamka39

It can sometimes feel like that , when we seem to be doing better something comes along and sets us back , I know that feeling well

I get ear issues and vertigo so I know that dizzy feeling you are talking about , feels like you are on a boat and your brain is swimming around in your head , I have got used to it as it happens so often and I wait for it to pass and then carry on but I think you should let the Doctor check , you could have a ear infection so worth letting them have a look

Hope you get is sorted and feel better soon

Take Care x

I get vertigo from a combo of anxiety and allergies causing drainage in my ear. My vertigo presents as the room is moving around me and then I get hot feeling and nauseous. I have to lay down usually to let it pass. A ENT helped me some but it's still a weekly struggle

I have another appointment with a ENT November 12th do u take medication for vertigo

[Dogmom55 in reply to Tamka39]

The ENT put me on a daily allergy pill and a daily nasal steroid spray. They help with the allergy and ear part but I do not take anything else for it.

That sounds scary for me when am sitting still or standing it feels like am falling

Yes. I think it can be a common response to anxiety also. I know mine gets worse when anxious. Also hormones... I'm always more dizzy about 2-3 days before my period then during my period also... Sometimes just deep breathing and telling myself it will pass helps! Hope the ENT gives you some answers!!!!!
