vertigo? that's like, being dizzy when looking down from a tall building or something... Didn't know it was a medical ailment, tho I'm not surprised.

Yeah, it sounds like you have a tendency of vertigo from your description... Never had it before, but I bet it's not too fun. I'll pray.

I have a friend who had that a long time ago. Basically, vertigo is a medical condition affecting your inner ear which causes extreme dizziness and can last a long time. I will be praying for you! :)

This is called benign positional vertigo. Despite the "benign" part (which just means non-cancerous), it can make people pretty ill, and you can get attacks anytime. ctg, I hope you feel better.

Btw, FWIW, true vertigo is the sensation of the room spinning around you. This is distinct from feeling sick or faint.

I had something like that once, but it was dizzy flu(apparently). Things like this can be difficult sometimes. I'll pray.

I hope you feel better too, I had vertigo so badly once that it was being considered that I may have had Meniere's Disease. I would be walking around, and then BAM!! I'm suddenly on my knees the room spinning. Combine this with low blood pressure, and my mornings were naturally chaotic... I'd wake up, get out of bed, fall over, and just sit there for a minute. Not fun.

Dimenhydrinate could be your best friend.
