Vertigo- Very important to know 1

Vertigo is the feeling that you're moving or the room is spinning when you're sitting still. Now it can be caused by LOTS of things, but most of the time, it's little calcite crystals inside your ear that tell your brain your body is moving get knocked loose and into a channel of the ear that they aren't supposed to be.
It's extremely uncomfortable and a terrible feeling, and if you DIDN'T know what caused it, you might think something was SERIOUSLY WRONG, when, it could be, but also if it's just the crystals in your ear got loose, there's a series of simple exercises to fix the problem.
Now, mind you, while doing the exercises you have to INDUCE the vertigo, to fix it, to get the stuff in your ear back in place.
First, find out which ear the vertigo is coming from( google how to do that)
Next, perform one of 5 maneuvers. I found the Epley Maneuver the easiest and safest for me.
Quote:
Epley Maneuver If your vertigo comes from your left ear and side: ( same thing but opposite if from the right)
Sit on the edge of your bed. Turn your head 45 degrees to the left (not as far as your left shoulder). Place a pillow under you so when you lie down, it rests between your shoulders rather than under your head. Quickly lie down on your back, with your head on the bed (still at the 45-degree angle). The pillow should be under your shoulders. Wait 30 seconds (for any vertigo to stop). Turn your head halfway (90 degrees) to the right without raising it. Wait 30 seconds. Turn your head and body on its side to the right, so you're looking at the floor. Wait 30 seconds. Slowly sit up, but remain on the bed a few minutes. If the vertigo comes from your right ear, reverse these instructions. Sit on your bed, turn your head 45 degrees to the right, and so on. Do these movements three times before going to bed each night, until you've gone 24 hours without dizziness.
Let me tell you, vertigo sucks. And it's a pretty easy fix.
There's tons of youtube videos as well demonstrating these tactics.
Anyone else have vertigo before? Did you try one of the exercises to fix the ear thing?

It could be other problems, but let me tell you, if it's the simple ear thing, which I described called :
Quote:
Benign Paroxysmal Positional Vertigo (BPPV) Benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (BPPV) is an inner ear disorder in which changes to the position of the head, such as tipping the head backward, lead to sudden vertigo – a feeling that the room is spinning.

The simple exercises are a lifesaver. It sucks to do them because it brings the vertigo on, but wow, it's worth it.

I recall my girlfriend telling me about having had a procedure just like this done that remedied it in the past. It hasnt become a significant problem for 4 or 5 months but next time it does i am gonna give it a shot. No need to pay a PT for a procedure this simple.

Elevators fuck me up not going to lie. It used to be super uncomfortable.....until I just changed the way I perceive the situation instead of looking at it like a negative thing I just look at it as a way to get fucked up for free

No, I saw a PT the first time but it was honestly not needed.
All the information is on google and youtube.
I only went because it was recommended to have a professional show you first, but it's really not.
It's safe, effective, and wow. Getting rid of vertigo is awesome. 2-3 days of it and I was ready to try anything.

I don't think there's an easy non prescription way to deal with that other than getting to the root of the cause of the anxiety and fixing it.

Actually great thread. This happened to my mom and she looked it up online and it completely cured her. Something about dislodging crystals in your ear area. Sounds like complete bullshit but it was night and day difference for her.

My vertigo is permanent. Once you’re forced to deal with it for life it becomes old hat.

I've experienced vertigo like 5 times over the past 8 months or so, I've never experienced it before I started to get it over the past several months.
What I've experienced feels much more neurological rather than something physiological tho...It feels like a migraine to me. And I found out there is a certain type of migraine that involves vertigo, called "vestibular migraine" . I've had migraines through out most of my life but they've become more frequent in recent years and I've never had these "vestibular migraines"/vertigo happen until the past several months.
Pretty sure that's what I'm dealing with when I've experience vertigo. It sucks. It makes me feel incredibly dizzy and fucks up my balance, and I also can't focus or think clearly at all and any sort of lights/movement in my field of vision becomes overwhelming for me and hurts my head and makes me nauseated. Same with sounds and smells, pretty much all incoming sensory information becomes overwhelming and makes me feel like shit (intense pain in the head, unable to focus or think clearly, dizzy/spinning, and super nauseated).

THANKS FOR SHARING!
This is a great topic. So everyone knows, my
Quote:
Benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (BPPV) is one of the most common causes of vertigo — the sudden sensation that you're spinning or that the inside of your head is spinning. Benign paroxysmal positional vertigo causes brief episodes of mild to intense dizziness
Came back 3 days ago.....20 days from my initial experience.
I did the epley manuever again and it went away. ( again)
BUT IT SUCKS!
It also saps the heck out your energy to have vertigo. Wears a person down quick. I highly recommenced the cannalith positioning procedure if you haven't tried it, just to rule that out.
I find the epley to be the best. Here is how to do it.
Quote:
Follow these steps if the problem is with your right ear:
Start by sitting on a bed. Turn your head 45 degrees to the right. Quickly lie back, keeping your head turned. Your shoulders should now be on the pillow, and your head should be reclined. Wait 30 seconds. Turn your head 90 degrees to the left, without raising it. Your head will now be looking 45 degrees to the left. Wait another 30 seconds. Turn your head and body another 90 degrees to the left, into the bed. Wait another 30 seconds. Sit up on the left side. Follow these steps if the problem is with your left ear:
Start by sitting on a bed. Turn your head 45 degrees to the left. Quickly lie back, keeping your head turned. Your shoulders should now be on the pillow, and your head should be reclined.

Turn your head and body another 90 degrees to the right, into the bed. Wait another 30 seconds. Sit up on the right side.
First you have to identify which ear it's coming from.

I get the feeling you guys would not hang too well in my world.
Try 24/7 vertigo. It does not end. It does not get better. It is constant and it is permanent.
But you get used to it.
When I see this thread I dont know what to say but feel that I should have some input on it.
Ive had vertigo everyday for the past four years.

You mentioned that but just to cover all bases you HAVE tried the self positioning procedures, right?
There's like 4 different ones have you tried them all ?

I’m not complaining. It’s just the nature of my world. The half deaf part sucks but shit happens. I’ve used the vertigo thing to my advantage. I am a much more fluid dancer than I used to be.

It could also be:
Meniere's disease is a disorder that affects the inner ear. The inner ear is responsible for hearing and balance. The condition causes vertigo, the sensation of spinning. It also leads to hearing problems and a ringing sound in the ear. Meniere's disease usually affects only one ear.
