Coping With Vertigo

4 years ago I was on an airline from the east coast to the west coast..it was a connecting flight. My seat was infront of the divider, as I lifted up my head to grab my bag I felt dizzy. By the time I stepped of the plane the whole terminal turned upside down, I felt so sick I just froze in my place and thank God my daughter was with me.

The staff helped me to sit on a wheelchair but they advised me to return home. They didn’t feel confident that I would make the four hour second leg of my flight. I was sad because my sister was in a coma and I planned to go see her. Anyway the airline refused to refund the full ticket amount which was about $1700.00.

It took me three weks to fully recover and get my life back.

Second severe attack happened two years ago and I ended up in the hospital where I went into full cardiac arrest and left the hospital with a dual chamber pacemaker I had a very bad time recovering from the surgery but the vertigo was so bad the first few weeks, no one was allowed to touch my bed.

Since then I have been feeling dizzy all the time. I stopped watching tv or go to the movies. For the past four months I have severe attacks toward early dawn and it hits me while I am sleeping. I feel like the bed is going to swallow me and then the spinning starts, I feel my mattress tilting and I hang to my pillows while screaming until my husband get up to help me. I need to use the bathroom immediately but I cannot walk to it so I have to use the bed side commode which I have for emergency.

I am so tired from being weak and tired and these attacks make me feel much worse. I try to use positive feedback and imagery but it seems like I am getting so tired I cannot fight anymore but at the same time I don’t want to loose hope. My faith is very strong and I know that i will be healed but no one out there is understanding. One neurologist told me sorry cannot help you. You bought it you got live with it.

I am desperate for some help because I have other health issues that keep me from living my life, so I don’t need this pest. HEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEELP!!!!!!!!
