vertigo

[Guest guest]

Does anyone have any suggestions on how to treat vertigo ? I seem to

get this on the average about once every 5 to 6 years, so it has not

really bothered me enough to see a doctor. When they do occur, it is

very unpleasant, I feel the room spinning around me and I can barely

stay out of bed for long. I also feel nauseaous, and sometimes bright

lights bother me ( it sounds like migraine too, except for the room

spinning part ). These episodes last for several hours, though none

have lasted a full day, and as I have indicated, they occur very

infrequently ( the last one being about 4 years ago ). There does not

seem to be any specific trigger and the attacks just go away on their

own. However, the last episode did seem to have been related to my

blowing my nose really hard. I seem to remember reading somewhere that

that could damamge the ear in someway ( and could possibly lead to

vertigo ? ).

Anyway, I would appreciate any input on this matter, particularly of

less invasive ways of dealing with it, like aromatherapy, etc.

Thank you.

I'm so sorry you are going through this. Vertigo is a horrible thing.

Have you been to an ear nose & throat doctor? You might get tested

for Meniere's Disease. I have it and the symptoms are dizziness,

vertigo, headache, balance problems, nausea and tinnitus. The attacks

can come on without warning and seem to come and go as they please.

It is not a fun thing to live with.

 

As for alternative treatments, I would advise using anything that

relaxes you. I drink chamomile tea, use lavender essential oils and

bath salts. I noticed that since I started taking feverfew that my

headaches have gotten a lot better.

 

I have had ongoing problems with candida for years, and I think that

the dizziness and balance woes worsen when my candida is out of

control. You might want to think about doing a candida cleanse (there

has been a lot of info on that on this list).

 

Kind of long, but I hope you are able to get some resolution for your

problem.

PS - Ask your pharmacist about meclizine (antivert) for your

dizziness. It's not natural, but it helps when the attacks are bad.

I was just doing some reading on ear candling as I was thinking of

trying this DH and I and I noticed that a couple of people had

written that ear candling helped cure them of their dizzy spells.

Just a thought.
