Vertgio..anyone have it or no someone who does?

Question

does anyone have it? What where your symptoms before diagnoses? do you remember how it started? what treatment did you get? x

Answer 1

My mum had it. She woke up one day and felt like she was on a ship (this is how she described it anyway!) everything was swaying. Everytime she moved she felt nauseus and if she stood up she threw up. When the doctor came round he prescribed her seasickness tablets, which helped to balance out her ears (or whatever it is that is unbalanced). Hope that helps.

Answer 2

It might be Meniere's Disease which is what I have.

About a year ago I was so severly dizzy and throwing up that I had to have my mother come and drive me to the ER. After a lot of non-sense answers from doctors I finally was sent to an ear, eye and noise specialist.

He diagnosed me with Meniers's disease. It results from too much fluid in the ears. They really have no idea what causes it however they ask you to take salt, caffine and sweets out of your diet. I think this did work a bit.

The episodes I have I realized after a few months all happened right before and during my period. I thought it was silly to mention the relation to my dr but he told me many other women make the same claim since pms results in water retention it is only common sense to see that the ears could be more sensitive to having fluid retention at this time.

Unfortunately there is really no treatment for it. I have been taking SERC which is suppose to reduce fluid levels but I didnt feel it was working at all and stopped taking it. So then I was put on a diuretic which just made me feel like a dried out rasin so I stopped that too.

When I have the dizzy spells come on bad I take enough gravel to make me sleep for about six hours and I go to bed. It's the only way to deal with it. Lots of rest and the harder you can knock yourself out the better.

Answer 3

Causes vary and so do the symptoms! My daughter has an inner ear problem and gets nauseuos and then dizzy! I have the staggering kind and as yet the cause hasn't been found! All I do know is that It can be very embarrassing when you start staggering like a drunk at 10am in the middle of the supermarket! I take Cyclizine which helps combat the resulting nausea!

Answer 4

Vertigo can be much more serious than just occasional dizziness or lightheadiness. Its a problem with your inner ear that causes nausea, dizziness to the point of maing it difficult to move or unable to stand up. It is a feeling of spinning that makes the world around you feel like its moving.
It can be mild but when ts affecting your life doctors prescribe antiemetics (which is like sea sickness treatment,) antibiotics, antihistamines & sometimes aspirin can help. If more serious an operation can be done to remove inner ear fluid.

Answer 5

I had vertigo just after having my baby, it lasted about 3 months and there will be good days and really bad ones. I found that the bad worst day was the day i took it. I couldn't get of the bathroom floor, my mother had to pick me up and put me in bed.

After that i found it was good to avoid alcohol for a while and ask your Doctor to give you a good stomach settler. You can drive on the vertigo free days but make sure you take your mobile with you in case you take ill in the car.(you can ring a friend for a lift home) don't worry you won't be affected by it every day.

Answer 6

The thyroid is a butterfly-shaped gland that sits low on the front of the neck. Your thyroid lies below your Adam’s apple, along the front of the windpipe. The thyroid has two side lobes, connected by a bridge (isthmus) in the middle. When the thyroid is its normal size, you’re unlikely to be able to feel it.
All types of hyperthyroidism are due to overproduction of thyroid hormones, but the condition can develop in several ways.
Thyroid hormone production can be suppressed or halted completely in these ways: https://tr.im/qD8qW

Usually no treatment is noted. Vertigo is nothing more than an occasional lightheadendess or dizziness.
