I am a register nurse working 12 hour shift. I got up one morning for work and literally fell back in bed. Everything in the room was turning around and around. Being a RN i was scared to death knowing the implication of dizziness My husband drove me to the ER. and after a series of test every thing was fine.

The doctor diagnose me with vertigo of unknown acuse. Today is day four with the use of antivert its slowly ebbing away.
