How do you get to doctors if you’re dizzy?
Posted , 7 users are following.
At this point, I have incapcitating vertigo. I don’t feel well enough to go anywhere and, more importantly, I’m afraid. I have dealt with dizziness and vertigo on and off all my lofe but I always panic when it gets bad and I’m basically bedridden.
How does everybody here get to doctors, take care of your families, etc when you are experiencing severe symptoms?

Hi!... please do not get upset with your current situation. Do immediately consult an ENT specialist. If you are bedridden, the condition won't come back to normalcy before atleast 2 to 3 weeks. You are required to train your brain to fight this out. Remember, there cannot be any medication for this vertigo. At max, you can have 2-10 doses of STEMETIL MD and that too after consulting your house physician/ENT. I think, you might be suffering from BPPV. This is a harmless disease. Stay away from alcohol, driving and swimming. Keep yourself hydrated (atleast 4lts per day). This is how I have fought out VERTIGO. A small trick to fight anxiety during vertigo; never keep your eyes closed during a vertigo. Stay bold and open your eyes, keep a constant fix in your view at any random point on your ceiling (maybe the fan, or maybe any light or any mark in the ceiling). The vertigo is bound to subside within a minute or two. If it continues for more than this, you should definitely consult a Neurologist. For your case, I believe it is a classical BPPV. You are required to under go Vestibular Rehabilitation or Epley Maneuver to get back your body balance. This may take a month or so.

There are no visiting doctors. I have another problem that complicates eveything. I have to drive or I feel very ill in the car. I can’t drive while I’m dizzy, so I can’t get anywhere. I’m really screwed. I would rather die than continue to love like this because I have no wuality of life.
