Wife had it bad and I'll ask her which dr was the one that gave her exercises to do twice a day that helped her.

Check for fluids behind the eardrums


swampgas chili and schmidt beer makes for a deadly combo

You have to remember that 1 out of 3 Democratic Voters is just as dumb as the other two.

Had it several years ago, did the epley exercise , took motion sickness pills, even went to a chiropractor . Finally went away , came back after a while, it was less severe, and now been free of it for a couple of years.

Vertigo is a son of a gun, hope it clears up for you.

Just found out that my Neuropathy from Agent Orange can cause Balance problems and eventually will be unable to walk.

My wife had "BPPV" several times - Benign Paroxysmal Positional Vertigo (BPPV) is an inner ear disorder. A person with BPPV experiences a sudden spinning sensation whenever they move their head. BPPV isn't a sign of a serious problem. But it can make the person nautious and dizzy. She went to an ENT specialist who diagnosed the problem and did head positioning exercise at his office, which helped. She later had exercises to do at home which helped over time to settle the eardrum pieces back into their proper place.

I suggest that you go to a ENT doctor to get a profesisonal evaluation of what is happening and the potenital solutions available. It could be age-related balance issues or it could be something that could be fixed or at least helped.

I never had ever had it or even knew what it would do to you !

But middle of last year I was sitting at work just before shift, had finished my breakfast, was waiting for Line out meeting to start, I turned my head to talk to a person at another table and my head kept rotating, was the strangest thing I have ever felt !

Turned it the other way and the room was rolling and I had to shut my eyes, I did try to stand up but the table moved away LOL, then I started to get sick, so just shut my eyes and got thru line out and told the foreman I'm not fit for duty and he arranged for my son to drive me home, had to have help getting in and out of vehicles and to them ! Could not walk straight standing up

Got home when to bed, got up next morning it was gone, made a ENT appt. and never been to one, before as never had these problems, but had been told it could be my ears. Get in the chair, he looks in my ears and asks me how long have I worn ear plugs, wear them every day for my work, no how long in your life, about 45 years give or take five !

He told me my ears had finally been packed so tight with ear wax it was causing undue pressure on my ear drums, he commenced to mining it out, felt like it and the pressure from doing that caused another episode in his chair, which he had me strap in to,

Told him I clean them out with them Q tips all the time, said once you have them packed like this you will never get that amount need out, you continue to pack it in until it forces pressure on the drums and you get sick, He could not get the rest out and sent me home with some ear drops for 3 days, and then come back, at which time he actually used a small vacuum on my ears, and whoa what a mess he got out of them, now can do what ever no problems, and gave me clean out drops for once a week.

I'm now retired fully and don't need the plugs any more except for doing loud work or shooting, but what a change.

I know long story, but just saying sometimes it's not a serious as people think if they go to an ENT Doc, my insurance covered the whole thing, he told me it's quite common in most people who work in loud places, using ear plugs instead of muffs, I'm a welder muffs are a pain with a hood and more times then most don't work so used the plugs

Not had another episode since !! Was worth the time to go to an ENT for me, as I know it was nothing in my system doing it, it would have shown up sooner he said due to my age being what it is, I would have found out earlier !

Doc told me plugs are not good for you. I always use muff's for chainsaw work or when in a shop. (Machinist, Screw Machines etc), and shooting. Have Tinitus from military service.

I lost 50% of my balance ability in my right ear when young due to several significant ear infections. Problems did not show up until in my mid 60s when I had several acute attacks. I am not on medication and I have not had any acute attacks the last several years. I do exercises every day to try to train my brain to make up for the loss from my ear. I notice some times when I get up quickly and also walking in the dark at night or on uneven ground.

I’ve been dealing with vertigo off and on for a few years.
Tried epley maneuver at home, no help.
Finally went to an ENT and they did it, technically the same thing but much faster, more technique. That took care of the vertigo!
a few more of those When it would pop back up and it went away.
Came back a few times, but I was able to make it go with the quick movement epley
Hope yours plays out ! Vertigo is no fun

He told me nothing he can find or do for me.

No fishing this year
No walking with guns in the woods this year.
No trapping this year.
My gardening was sub par at best.

This really sucks.

330 I have started with you suggestion , hoping for the best.
Thx again

Has anyone had a script that helped ?
