i first got vertigo in December i woke up early in the morning with it and had it 4 more times since. doctor said he thinks its BPPV. i had the swaying sensation for weeks and the vertigo but other symptoms too.

recently i started feeling spaced out and had ringing in ears with severe brain fog, eye pain, difficulty sleeping and anxiety. my wbc had also dropped. i decided to check my medication i had been taking for something else. omeprazole. all of the symptoms i have was listed. i wanted to post this because for anyone who is unsure what their vertigo might be its good to check any meds you might be taking. im not saying this is 100% wat it is but from reading other people's experiences with this medication its a huge possibility. i nevee really thought if vertigo

    omeprazole is evil stuff. I had to take it for a month and felt like death for the whole month. I lost my appetite completely and lost 2 stone. not good. turns out it depletes your ability to take I nutrients like vitamin b12, which can make you very ill over time
