Can be caused by several things. Do you have hearing loss and/or tinnitus in one or both ears? Vomiting? If so it is most likely Meniere's Disease or Vestibular Migraine. I have Meniere's and it's no joke. Being afraid to leave your house is a classic example of the anxiety it causes...I'm assuming you were given an anti-vertigo? Cut back drastically on sodium immediately.

I should have mentioned it's from my inner ear and I'm on medicine. I was just wondering from other's experiences how long theirs lasted. It's better than the first part of the week. The entire room is swirling around and but still feeling some dizziness and unbalanced.
I'm sorry to hear you're suffering. My half sister had diagnosed vertigo for about 7 months. She literally had to crawl around on the floor - I hope yours isnt as bad. I'm not sure what meds she was on, but I don't think they did enough to eliminate all symptoms to allow her return to her normal routine. It faded away almost as fast as it came on with no solid diagnosis as to why or what caused it.
I worried it was something that ran in the family, when about 8 months ago, I spent a weekend in bed because the room was spinning. It turned out it was diabetes for me and once I got my sugar under control I havent had any more episodes.
It's very disorienting, to say the least. I hope you find a solution soon.
Doctors are pushers. Try thisWell, google it yourself, i can't figure out how to post it) Dr Carol Foster, Half somersault maneuver. ... I also heard once that roller coaster rides work.
I can’t help with advice on vertigo, but wanted to say I hope you feel better real soon.![]()
GWguy already said it, but it's worth reiterating how important it is to make sure you have no ear wax build up or pressure on your inner ear like water from swimmer's ear. The inner ear is the epicenter of your body's balance mechanism.
Hope you feel better soon.
A friend has BPPV which is supposedly common but you should see a doctor to make sure it is not something more serious
Try a Neti Pot in combination of what you are already doing.... it will get worse before it gets better.
I have Meniere's disease so I have been there and do hope you feel better soon. There is nothing worse than
how your feeling.![]()
