Guest guest Posted January 11, 2003 Report Share Posted January 11, 2003 There are a lot of things that can cause this. Probably the most common are sinus or ear infections, and some viruses. Sometimes it's the only symptom you'll have, or you may have some other things like fatigue, swollen glands, low-grade fever, etc. Lots of other things can cause it too tho. If it happens again I would try to see the dr. Glad you are feeling better now! -Sara. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 11, 2003 Report Share Posted January 11, 2003 YUCK. I have had this twice, which was twice too many, in my life. I have a friend with Meniere's and she has to deal with this fairly frequently. It's awful! I'm so glad you are starting to feel better. When I had this the doc did give me something for it, but it was so long ago I cannot recall what it is. My friend uses scopalamine patches (rx) for her vertigo and that allows her to function reasonably well during attacks. Best of luck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted January 11, 2003 Report Share Posted January 11, 2003 oh i did see the doctor! he gave no reason - i understand it's a bit of a guessing game if there is no ear or sinus problem as to why it happens. he did give me scrip for an anti nauseant (sp?) which i didn't bother filling as i was feeling abit better by that point. the nausea wasn't really my biggest worry though - if i could get the world to stop spinning i knew the nausea would subside. thanks sara! michelle RE: absentee member - vertigo There are a lot of things that can cause this.
