Possibly benign Barony maneuver or test
which is a test for positional vertigo.
me again about vertigo
Thanks for your responses. I do not have much in the way of symptoms. It is a long story but in October I had a mild stroke, no previous symptoms before that. It was first misdiagnosed with vertigo in one ER. ( my symptoms was severe vomitting, dizziness and weakness, like one of the posters had)Then a day later I went to another ER because I was worse and they did a CT I had a bleed. After a month from work and therapy I got better, started typing again. The company I work for was great about it and I had only been working for a month with them before it happended. I changed neurologists aned told him I get dizzy at times, and some times loose my balance but never fall. He did the test one of the posters described. The only symptom I have is a fullnes in my head and clogged ears and sometimes lightheaded when I go upstairs. He said I have benign vertigo. He suggested I go to his office for therapy for 1/2 hour between the hours of 10 and 2. Don't they know we work. This would go on for 8 weeks. I just cannot do this. It takes 1/2 to get there and back. Like my daughter said if you were a teacher you could not pick up leave like that. I was hoping I could do it on my own.
Dizziness/vertigo -- sm
When I went to my doctor for dizziness/vertigo he told me that one of the most common indicators of heart attacks in women was a symptom of dizziness. It did not turn out to be that but it alerted me to watch for simple symptoms that could indicate a larger problem. I did have some fluid behind my TM's caused by allergies and Rhinocort Aqua nasal spray used at night helps me a lot as the dizziness was the worse in the morning. When in question check with the doctor.
Vertigo, over a year now.
Mine started LAST March, with an acute bout when waking up, completely out of the blue and horrible. About 3 weeks prior I had a bad head cold. I had the nystagmus, vomiting, and it is truly incapaciting. I have seen the ENT who told me that BPPV never killed anyone. Lot of help he was. He prescribed a blood vessel dilator, stating it might help the blood supply to the inner ear region. And Valium for when I am so nauseous all I want to do is sleep. I have had about 3 very bad episodes this past year, which I take Bonnine to get me through the day. It is impossible to work during those times.
Now, I have only have about 2 seconds of dizziness when I lay down and turn my head to the right. It is mild, but definitely there. I wonder if mine may be due to a cervicogenic pathology, all this sitting at the p.c., typing, ya know. Thinking about seeing a chiropractor.
