UPDATE: as of 7pm, I'm happy to report I'm feeling less swimmy and have been for the past few hours so perhaps it's resolving! Or maybe it was the Epley maneuver.

This morning I woke up with some nasty vertigo! Anyone else deal with this from time to time? Did you get diagnosed with anything? This happened to me about a year ago and it lasted for weeeeeks.

I did some fun little contortions to help ease the symptoms, and I felt like I was falling into a bottomless pit for 3 minutes 😂 I'll do it again a bit later.

Meanwhile Pax has one pupil slightly bigger than the other. The vet says both eyes are reacting properly to light and he seems fine. So we're weird but ok over here. Bodies, amiright?

btw and kind of on a related note, I'm reading this book about the immune system and it is my favorite thing.

I had a weeklong episode of vertigo that ended up being vestibular neuritis. I hope this is not that.

I get vertigo 50% of the time I get a head cold. It sucks for sure. If this happens to you often, I would get checked out for vestibular migraines.

That sounds like the worst! Hope it abates soon. I know inner ear problems can do that, but afaik they're usually infections of some kind... but not a doctor! The hypochondriac in me would jump to brain problems :)

Find a vestibular therapist stat. My wife struggled with this for years, with days when she could barely stand. VT fixed it in days.

Ugh, I'm sorry you're going through this. Judy had a few bouts of vertigo earlier this year. A)Definitely see a doctor. B) Some of these BPPV exercises (partuculary the Epley manuver) helped her even though it wasn't the ear crystals thing (she did need me to turn her and time stuff for the manuver so having someone to help is key) - https://www.verywellhealth.com/ear-crystals-8620770

I get brief moments of vertigo while sailing. Something about holding my head at weird angles and moving it around a lot seems to be the trigger it for me. Pretty much the opposite of the head movement you can use to alleviate it. What I really want to know is do you audiate the Kurzgesagt voice while reading the book?

Yes, i have something called menieres disease and leads to vertigo/hearing loss, have a look into it. Dont want to scare you its probably not this. Just being generally run down can give you temporary vertigo.

If it is BPPV (which it does sound like), there are effective maneuvers. I'd first get it diagnosed and learn which ear is affected, then read up on the home Epley maneuver. It's done differently depending on the ear, so finding that out is key. The home version can be done without assistance and solved my issue quickly after the doctor-supplied exercise didn't do much at all. There are also exercises to figure out which ear is affected.

I have had bouts of dizziness but not vertigo. It sounds awful. I'll send positive energy your way, ixi. I might check out this book rec since I am definitely on a journey of better health right now.

That sounds like no fun. I'll keep an eye (ear?) on it.

Sorry for your discomfort and scare! And for Pax. I like that you're doing contortions and movements. All I can say is that it sounds like something I'd try myself, and that it's not just a way to ease the symptoms, but also to see if I can draw a trace between where I feel problem most acutely, to any other part of my body, particularly anywhere inside or around my torso, spine, hips/pelvis. Any kind of sensation is useful - pain that radiates along a certain route, stiffness, numbness or lack of sensation, tingliness, tension or sympathetic spasms or contractions, temperature, anything at all. For example, if the vertigo has something to do with the ears or sinuses, maybe I figure out one side of the head feels different from the other, with stiffness and numbness and slight distension leading down the neck, shoulders, along the spine down to one hip, and I begin to realize I've been favoring one leg while sitting or walking. Of course I'm not claiming that's what's happening to you, or anyone - I'm imagining a case that in all likelihood is physiologically impossible, or even if it were possible the problem could still be local and have no connection to anywhere else. However, since I do movements anyway to scope out my body's sensations and capabilities, it's something I might just as well check if I can draw a trace to anywhere while I'm at it. Wishing you health and good luck, you deserve it.

Ooooh that looks like a great book. I love that you read that for fun. I hope your vertigo and Pax’s light responses resolve with ease

I'm sorry to hear you're going through that! It doesn't sound like fun at all. Do you think it may be attributed to the insomnia you've been battling recently? Once in a blue moon, I'll experience mild dizziness that lasts for hours, but it's never been so severe or frequent that I've needed to get it checked. I doubt it's vertigo. The most puzzling thing I wake up with is a head cold every time I accidentally fall asleep at the opposite end of my bed! It's a total mystery, but maybe I'll find some clues in the book you're reading. I might have to check it out; it looks like a good read! Unless you plan on doing a live narration stream when you're feeling better? Haha. Hopefully everything resolves for you by tomorrow! The swimmy-ness easing is a good sign, and I'm glad to hear Pax's health is in the clear too. I'm no doctor, but I would avoid playing any Guitar Hero in the meantime (highway eyes + vertigo sound like a horrific combination)! Sending lots of good fortune and healing energy your way. You deserve nothing less. Keep a close eye on her, Pax! (Preferably the bigger one) 😉

Consult with an OT (occupational therapist) My wife gets it, and tinnituis, and is hypermobile, and a pianist. The common thread is fascia, the connective tissue that wraps and supports muscles, tendons, and organs throughout the body. I used to do the Epley manouvre for her maybe twice a year, and that stopped the vertigo mostly. But it has not gone away completely. She has other symtoms that are all caused by, basically, tight/ stressed fascia.

My wife has been dealing with vertigo randomly occurring in the last 18 months or so. Epley maneouvers help some, BPPV was ruled out after seeing specialists (ENT, vestibular, neuro etc). current theory is perimenopause (she is 48) which also has other not so wonderful symptoms for many women. She just started hormone replacement therapy. Might also affect some non-menopausal women if hormone levels fluctuate enough (eg pregnancy, post partum). Might be something to add to your physical.
