I've been suffering with vertigo for about a year now. The attacks last about 30 minutes and I get them in bursts - ie I might not get them for a couple of weeks then have them daily.
I've seen a consultant and had a brain scan etc which was normal. There is partial hearing loss in one ear, but this is not believed to be related and the diagnosis was a "virus". This was made about 10 months ago and it has got no better.
I've had my eyes checked by the optician and there is nothing untoward with them.
I've been back to my GP (who has now advised me to stop driving), and asked whether it's my ears that are causing it or migraines. She said it could be either and gave me some drugs to prevent migraines.
I'm just getting nowhere with it and it's driving me insane. The doctor seems very casual about it on the basis that there is nothing wrong with my brain, but it's a horrible condition and I don't understand why it started all of a sudden.
Help!
