I had a bad episode of Vertigo (army crawling to get around the house, dry heaves, pressure in my ears and ringing) right after Thanksgiving. I felt like everything was spinning clockwise. Was given Meclizine and a nausea pill. It took a good 2-3 days for the symptoms to start to go away. Now it started again last night where I get up and start to stumble. This morning I had to have my daughter walk me to the bathroom without tipping over. Reclining in the chair can barely move my head side to side without getting nauseous and dizzy. Ears are ringing again and pressure. My maternal grandmother had Meniere’s disease. Is it hereditary? I am going to be 43 this year. Any advice is appreciated.

    So I got another episode of vertigo about a week and a half ago. It lasted four days again with vertigo, nausea, etc. they keep thinking it is my crystals so I went in while having the episode. They did the Epley Manuver twice but felt the same the next day. I had my follow up this week and they finally filled the Amitryptiline. 10 mg first week; 20 after. I still have daily headaches that start right between my eyes and then spread behind both eyes. I am hoping this prevents the headaches going forward which eliminates the vertigo episodes. Crossing my fingers.
