I live in Australia and I can relate to what people are discussing.  I experienced this 2 years ago and have since have continous symptoms which have effected my personal and work life. I have been to a neurologist and ENT specialist and still do not have an answer.  I have also seen a physiotherapist and done manovres for the Benign Vestible Vertigo which slightly improves my life.

Currently I am having acupunture to relax and this has eased my anxiety.

I have never experienced high blood pressure before however now take tablets.  I dont like going into a shop and bright lights and noise irritate me so I leave the shop very quickly.

People including my family do not realise how debilitating this experience is.  Drinking any alcohol also effects me.

My doctor has prescribed anti depressents however I am reluctant to take them.

I would like to know how people are coping and what mechanisms have assisted as I feel like curling up and not getting out of bed .  I am still working full time however due to fatigue am struggling.

I welcome comments to assist me please,  I do feel relieved knowing that people are experiencing the same symptoms and sympathise with you.

    Hi Patriaicia,

    Are you saying that you have vertigo all the time?.  Could it be meniere"s disease?

    There is a mediciation called Serc that seems to help a lot of people.

    I get positional vertigo.  This is a seasonal thing for me.  It happens in Sept/Oct   and then again in March/april.   I just finished a good 3 weeks of it. Though I do not have Meniers's, I did take Serc and it helped.  Because mine is seasonal it must be something to do with allergies or something.
