Vertigo

Post a new topicby livingwith on Sat Aug 18, 2007 1:21 pm


I had my first episode of vertigo only a few weeks ago and had anther bad attcak today. The same thing happened each time. It is the worst thing, so scary, not having control over your body. I had had a terrible head cold and flu about six weeks ago, my ears popped and just wouldn’t pop back. I kept getting bouts of dizziness but nothing that worried me, until about three weeks ago, I was getting ready to go out when the hearing on my right side just flipped to loud fizzing, I went clammy...Read the full article

Hello, I was wondering if you ever figured out why you got these vertigo attacks? I have the exact same symptoms as you and it's been almost a year since my first attack (I've had 3 altogether and the most recent one lasted 3 hours). I was planning on seeing a neurologist for my symptoms but I have to wait 4 more months until I have insurance again. I am really sort of disturbed at the fact that I get clammy and break out in a sweat within the first 2 minutes of each attack. If you have any information that could possibly help me it would greatly appreciated!!

Sincerely,
Natasha
