Vertigo Out of the Blue
by: M. C.
on Thu, Oct 29 2009
I’m 65 and have never been ill. I hardly even get colds. I’m slim, don’t smoke, do drink wine, eat good, healthy foods so, a month ago, out of the blue, I felt dizzy. Took a nap, then when I got up, I fell down. The room was spinning. My husband called the doctor who prescribed meclizine. I had to stay in bed all the next day. Now, 5 weeks have passed and I’m still not myself. I have headaches in back of my eyes, which move to the top of my head, though they are not severe. I went to an ENT who said I have a hearing loss (I knew that) and mild balance disorder (sure, after vertigo what do you expect?) My primary doctor wants me to see a neurologist. I am stunned that this happened. I exercise every day, play tennis, sail, and don’t want to become a “sick person.”

I have had vertigo for 7 years and 2 episodes of vertigo. Both within 1 year , and from then I have not felt like I can be active or able to be a complete person. Because I’ve been with symptoms of numbness in my head, a little dizzy all the time. I feel like I have drank too much alcohol.I I do not drink any alcohol.
