Hi everyone!

Does anyone that has hashimotos ever experience random intense vertigo where you cannot even walk?

I had terrible vertigo nausea and sickness. Before I was diagnosed and before my adrenals were sorted.

Hi just to say and ask please, I had regular vertigo and now noticing haven't had it since I particularly upped my very low D And also all the other vitamins, Iand took mag powder but unsure which is more responsible for vertigo, (please may you PM me how you sorted adrenals if you don't mind and if by glandulars whatever).

Traci25td,

Welcome to Hashi! The list of symptoms is endless and some of us experience SOME of the symptoms, VERTIGO being a strong player.

My first attack was in '93 and it attack was so scary that I was taken to hospital via ambulance. Nausea and vomiting were part of the big scare. Never having been unwell in my life, I truly thought that the world was falling down and around me. This occurred whilst I was on a mission to determine the culprit causing great overall unease in my body! Eventually self-diagnosed hypothyroidism in 2000 with the aid of the Internet and pronounced HASHI by the experts 2 weeks later.

Betaserc - Betahistine Dihydrochloride - 8mg was prescribed in '93. Over the years, each time I felt the big V revving up to throw me off kilter, I took 1 x 8mg tablet. I have never taken more than 1 tablet per instance - i.e. one tablet per attack.

Betahistine, sold under the brand name Serc among others, is an anti-vertigo medication.

It is commonly prescribed for balance disorders or to alleviate vertigo symptom

associated with Ménière's disease. [Please research/read up -

patient.info/medicine/betah...]

Please boost your Vit-D3 intake and hopefully vertigo will be a 'now and then' item in your list of Hashi probs.

Hope it works for you!

I also went through hell, and was put through a barrage of tests and they concluded it was brain stem migraine (wrong).

Hi

When I was undiagnosed I was getting it in bouts. Would get it take some prochlorperazine it would go, then would come back in a few weeks.

Went to my doctor as I noticed it was always when I moved to the same side and he sent me to an ent. By the time I saw the ent I was diagnosed and on levo and the vertigo had magically disappeared.

Ent said nothing wrong with the ears so it must have been viral. But I suspect it was the thyroid

Have you seen the doctor about it?

It was vertigo that helped me get diagnosed. Went to docs with vertigo and found out my tsh was 12.7. Some I started Levo it has gone, hopefully for too. It was nasty!
