It can be completely debilitating, can't it?
Like so many things, though, it depends on the cause.
And 'force' yourself to go to the doctor?Oh, dear.
Go, please; it's not worth he risk.
My recurring vertigo is not helped by travel sickness medication, but my prescribed betahistine dihydrachloride is like a magic bullet - you still feel like death, but the world stays in one place and you can get on with your life.
Ask your doctor.
The worst that can happen is that he can't help you, and you never know, he might just know what he's talking about.
Best of luck.

An ear infection can result in vertigo. U have not clearly mentioned whether u do have such an infection. Vertigo can b without having an ear infection for as simple a reason as fear of heights or as complicated as having a brain tumour or just a change in the number & angle of ur eye glasses. Whatever the reason, must see a doc.

Definitely go to the doctors, i had a really serious ear infection when i was a teenager and my ear drum fell out cos i kept ignoring it. Im not saying that will happen to you, but i lost some of my hearing in that ear as a consequence and i was told that i was lucky! Go see the doctor! The worst that will happen is that you are put on a course of antibiotics.

Once in awhile at the end of every month when I was still working my bedroom and I would spin like a top. We had allot of numbers ETC. to check and balance, much eyestrain etc... Four years ago I had it so bad I could not get off the sofa to go you know where, no one was here, I dialed 911 & in five minutes I had EMTs in the house. Two were women and helped me into the bathroom then they took me to the ER where the doc. gave me something that made it worse. They kept me for observation, but didn't come up with what caused it. It was disturbing and somewhat embarrasing

i've had vertigo to the point of pre-syncope (passing out but don't) i was in new york a couple months ago and had it sooo bad i called my doc in PA and he gave me antivert a highly concentrated form of antihistimine. yes it can be dangerous like if your driving a car and such. the worst thing that could happen is starting to throw up and not stop you could die. go to the dr. they may want to do a tilt table test to see how you fair with laying down and standing up the biggest cause also if your blood pressure is ok.

I had it once and I've seen patients with it. It's often caused by an inner ear infection and to help it you need an antibiotic and another medication called Antivert - it works great in you feeling 'stable' and less dizzy and woozy. In the meantime you can try benadryl or drammamine until you can get to the doctor.

it is very unpleasant, and you are right can occur with ear infections. this is because the ears are the organs of both hearing and balance.
It is reasonable to visit your GP, at the worst he can prescribe symptomatic drugs like prochlorperazine.

Wife has had it a few weeks, Pills don't seem to work
Try putting on one of those seasickness wrist bands for cruises.
The band is doing a great job.
