Any of you guys ever wake up unable to walk on your own and everything spinning around? Diagnosed as vertigo. This has happened twice now. What is treatment?

On and off for 20+ years. Get it about once a year. Usually starts when in bed, when I turn my head while looking at something else. Working flat on my back ( under a vehicle ) can also cause trouble.

I had Vertigo for 48 years until I was diagnosed and found this.

I take one at bedtime and haven't had vertigo for 10 years now.
It's at Wal mart yellow label on small white bottle. Over the counter...but ask the pharmacy if you cannot see it.

Guy at work developed vertigo after both vaccination for and infection by covid. Doctor told him the infection caused his vertigo.

My wife takes Antivert or that generic mentioned above.

This x2! You gotta find out if there's an underlying problem first.

Had this a couple years ago Dr ordered all kinds of expensive tests a MRI, throat ultrasound they found nothing. So I went to my chiropractor and she adjusted my neck and back never felt better.

Injured my neck in combat training at the Academy 20 years ago it stoved up and got stiffer over time turning my head to the left was a challenge. Along with other injuries accumulated in life working through the pain was a daily task the adjustments were amazing in reducing that pain.

Now everything is back to normal vs being dizzy getting out of bed or getting out of my chair or walking and stopping.

Had it off and on for several years. Dr’s. Did all kind of test couldn’t figure out what what caused it. Went to chiropractor, helped a little. For me every time I have a reoccurrence it is less severe. Last time was last Oct. lasted about 2 days. I take Dramamine when I get it.

It is an Inner Ear imbalance

Every now and then I get those symptoms. Probably from the discharge of various gases I am exposed to every day in our buildings.

Thank you all for the replies. I did have an ear infection a month or so ago. If it came on while out trapping I’d have to be rescued. I couldn’t walk on my own all day. Walking like an old man in a nursing home today. I walked five miles a day from June to November, about every day, and was getting ready to start back now that season is over.

My wife had it maybe not as bad as your case. Dr sent her to a special physical therapist that she saw couple times a week and gave her homework. She said she could feel the progress. She still does the exercises about once a week.

I had vertigo from an ear infection…one of the worst feelings I’ve ever had. It happen while I was on the road. The bouncing up and down on the air seat was unbelievable and I started puking in short order. Traffic was heavy and I was unable to pull over. I was close to the end of the route and white knuckled it the rest of the way. When I got out of the truck I couldn’t walk straight. Imagine the drunkest you’ve ever been, double it and then try to walk straight! It took two days before I could get out of bed!

Ran into a lady at a casino near the end of the pandemic she had Covid and she was dizzy for 2 months and lost her ability to focus and even do simple math problems. The sad part was it cost her her job she was a accountant, I had the exact same issues but have come a long way since then once my neck got freed up.

So Dr. and after test was determined that I had injured my neck being in several accidents over the years being older was told surgery MIGHT help might not. When I do a lot of lifting or such the pain starts and I can be down for hours or days. But sooner or later it passes and I start over. Is what it is.

Same here it’s going to happen but life goes on so you just get through it and hope for the best.

I’ve been wresting a giant oak for firewood last little bit. All I can do to roll one 18 inch cut up on the splitter. Maybe that helped bring it on. It’s hard to believe how useless you can become with something like that. I feel for people that never get away from it or have a good healthy day.

stopped drinking alcohol heavily....

JK, hope things get better for you soon.

Many different things it could be. Don’t mess around go see an ENT. I played around with similar symptoms for over a year then one day I figured out I couldn’t hear out of my right ear. Long story short I ended up getting an MRI and had a tumor touching my brain called an acoustic neuroma. 13 hours of surgery permanent loss of all hearing from my right ear and lost the balance nerve for the right side of my body. My Turkey hunting sucks now but at least I can still trap . At least I am upright and able to do most things.

Was sitting in the breakroom at work late January this year, been there almost an hour, went to turn my head and the room moved, turn it the other way and it moved that way, knew right away I could not stand up to walk out of there !

Never had this feeling all my life, got home with my son driving me home and the boss following to get him back to work, could not walk with out help, laid down on the bed and the room twirled like a tornado, was the worst feeling in the world I have ever experienced.
Finally had enough and went to the emergency med clinic close by, the doc took one look in my ears and told me my right ear had a massive blockage in it putting pressure on my ear drum, which was likely the problem putting more pressure on inner ear.

They put in ear drops to dissolve the wax blockage, then proceed to carve it up and suck it out, when ever he got close to my ear drum, a new party started, could not tell if the clean up was worse than the vertigo.

After doing what he could do, he sent me to an ENT, who asked if I had Covid at any time, told him the company provided weekly testing and my last test was positive, but that the second better test said negative, he gave me more drops for a week and I went back after having them and he finished cleaning up the ear with his tooling, all clear and no more vertigo !!

Happy camper since then he advised me use the drops which was just two drops once a week for a couple months then gently swap the ear with a swab, said as long as I kept the canals clean, would probably be fine, he mentioned some seem to have the problem as a Covid element, while others just don't clean the ears correctly, I never stick anything in my ears to clean them, so I now have a new cleaning ritual, would rather do this gently than go all that I did before though !
