Dizziness and vertigo kind of feeling

[psawant]

Lately I am feeling very dizzy and sleepy, and when I try to switch my view I feel very short vertigo kind of feeling. Is it normal till the deficiency is totally reversed? I have vitamin d deficiency as well and being treated for both from last one and half month.

I certainly had those symptoms myself with P-A- But they disappeared when I got sufficient injections .. perhaps you need more regular injections of B12 than you are getting ? . I was forced to self-inject ( weekly) when I couldn’t get more injections from my GP . This made all the difference ,

Thanks wedgewood

Is this feeling BPPV( positional vertigo)? And can I be helped with the exercises to reduce it and recover ?

[wedgewood in reply to psawant]

Sorry , I know nothing about that . I never did any exercising to rid myself of the strange dizziness I had with untreated P.A.

I suffer with BPPV from time to time. I learned about the Epley manoeuvre from google & if performed correctly works like magic. You may have to do it two or three times

[psawant in reply to Hidden]

I did it and worked really well. Thank you

Very familiar symptoms to me. I dusmdng get very sleepy though. Alot of visual disturbance.

Early days.

It will improve with b12 treatment.

Try cawthorn physio perhaps. ??

It helped me. Google it and have a look if you can.

Some things can get a little worse before better. Try and go with it.

Visual disturbance is also there , my vision shifts automatically when i try to read something and I forcefully have to bring it back to where I a want to see.

[psawant in reply to Nackapan]

Is this bppv?

[Nackapan in reply to psawant]

I was told that but not convinced as i disnt vomit.

The text fades on the right with me

Infact I have great difficulty reading. This phone had a anti blue that helps and is small.

Also get pattern glare

Havd had to get rid of striped clothing I loved.

Its I.probef bug not as much as k need it to but I think with me its fhe light sensitivity and headaches.

Hope fully your will go as early days.

My prescription for glasses went down by 2 stages .

That is back to my pre ill prescription now. Costly getting 2 changes but relieved too. I only occassiony get .

blurry vision now. Also csnt tolerate tv

The vertigo went. I still do the cawthorne exercises I also do not always wear varififocals as they not good for any slight hill or stairs.

I'm also trying not to bend over too much. Tesrs your leg muscles!!

Take care

I truly believe age is on your side. .just keep going with your treatment. Be kind to yourself.

Yes, for me this was a normal symptoms in early days, but the most worrying as I always thought I had a brain tumor or MS, I can laugh now but I was very upset initially. My vertigo , I also thought the ground was moving sort of feeling, gradually reduced and after a few months I realized I was no longer getting that symptom. At that time I had the loading doses, and twelve weekly injections, plus iron and folic acid supplements. I take more injections now, which I buy from Germany but the vertigo certainly resolved gradually over a few months on twelve weekly jabs. Hope this helps and I wish you well.
