vertigo

[patient1]

huh

Apparently I had you confused with somebody else here, or somebody that used to be here ( can't recall who). I'm sorry.

So episodic vertigo is your only symptom?
No hearing loss?
No headaches?
No blurred vision?
No "Ringing"( or whining or hissing) in your ears?

 

[bronzeage]

boiled sausages??

as if I didn't feel queasy enough

I thought Brits boiled everything before you ate it, which why the toast is so soggy.

A sudden drop in blood pressure will cause what you felt, especially when you stand up.

no other symptoms at all, none whatsoever, other than the spinny, off balance feeling.

And blind. Don't forget blind.

Ignore him, he thinks we boil sausages over here.

Apparently I mistook deep-fried for boiled.
I musta been dizzy...

Haha. That one did tickle the fuck out of me!

pregnancy?

 

[CandiCame]

I woke up with it around midnight. 3pm and my balance is still off by at least 6 G&Ts worth. staggering, hanging onto walls, swallowing nausea.

you ever had this?
if so, what caused yours?
and did your friends laugh at you?

I have. It came from mixing alcohol and shrooms and I will NEVER do that again. So it could be a drug interaction, I know some antibiotics can cause it if you're on narcotics; and some people are on narcotics for real reasons, so that's a thing that can actually happen. I've never had with an ear infection, normally with my ear infections my ears just hurt like a motherfucker and everything gets super loud; to the point of being painful.

 

[patient1]

Candi has a point.
Prescription narcotics are a potential suspect. I had a reaction like that in the hospital once.

ahahahahahahahaha!!

I haven't taken so much as an aspirin in at least three weeks.

That is a slightly different feeling and it doesn't last long.

 

[Noor]

Is it still happening, Dolf? Have you been swimming recently?

punch-drunk (pnchdrngk)
adj.
1. Showing signs of brain damage caused by repeated blows to the head. Used especially of a boxer.

2. Behaving in a bewildered, confused, or dazed manner.

I was going to say that it sounds like a typical Saturday night from my college days, but then I realized you were serious. Wife had a similar problem not too long ago that was caused by calcium floaties (non-medical term) in the inner ear fluid settling on some nerve endings. Her doctor suggested lying on her back on the bed with her head over the edge several times a day to get the floaties to move off the nerve. I was a bit skeptical at first, but it actually worked.

still happening.

I hate the water. not been swimming for literally years.

the 'deep throat' position. worth a try!

It can take up to 18 months for brain cells to die

Did you get any water in your ears with a shower or do you have allergies?

Wife has had vertigo a few times. Something loose in her ears. The first time it was a trip to the ER because we had no idea what was happening. She woke up and the room was spinning. She could not walk. I had to carry her to the car. Positional therapy tended to help.

Quit bragging!

no and no. i'd guess viral. the twins were revoltingly snotty when last I saw them, and I was worn out from a day of tree felling. they may have sneakily contaminated me in my weakened state.

Doggy style or reverse cowgirl?

deep throat. keep up!

Standing up, in a hammock.

 

[patient1]

yeah. ears. i've never experienced it, but my father had huge problems with vertigo for awhile and minor ones still. apparently there are exercises you can do if it becomes really bad to make it better. i think it involves rolling back and forth. seriously. you can probably google it if it's still fucking you up.

Another is what they call ear rocks, which are calcium crystals in the ear canals, that occur in the over 50 crowd, and can be managed with something called the Epley maneuver. It's a matter of learning a procedure..sort of like an exercise.

These are all one in the same. At least you can self-treat. If you try this and it doesn't help, you can probably rule it out. BPPV
