Looking to hear other peoples experiences with Vertigo.

i have had several very bad vertigo episodes. have had mild to severe episodes everyday for almost 3 years. it all started over 12 years ago. just the nightmare i have had you could write a book. true vertigo is almost hard to explain. i have often told ppl it is like a hillucination. you know things are not moving. yet you watch them scroll by. like your standing still and things are moving around you. longest episode i had lasted 3 days. once you had it you never forget it. its terrifying.

I had vertigo attacks last summer- autumn 2018. It lasted on and off for 3 month. I could not drive, walk and even eat properly as everything around me was upside down, moment of attack I felt that i was falling backwards all the time. Use to have heart beat raise and feeling sick. Usually before attacks I use to feel that my heart beat was often and vision was blurred that was sign i will have attack. During the attack if i close my eyes it make me feel worse. Loosing of balance several times during the day or night was exhausting. After 3 months of nightmare i started to feel better and better, lots of vestibular recovery exercises.

Thank God that all in the past.

Hope you find it useful and wishing you feel better.

Hi Shaun , I was just answering Waffalobill abut my symptoms , so here they are.

When I had Meniere disease Vertigo , the symptoms started with light dizziness ,unsteady and a little spinning then it progressed to profuse sweating ,then very dry mouth , nausea and crazy spinning.

Meniere is different from other types of Vertigo because it lasts between 2-4 hours and is caused by the swelling of the inner ear.

When the spinning is at its worse I see the room spin counterclockwise from "11pm to 1pm" in 1 second and restart from 11pm exactly and endlessly , no tunnel vision for me

The last attack I had of Meniere I filmed my face at the worst time (the end of the 4th hour) to catch the jerking of the eyes but it didn't happen , I looked miserable though.

I suggest everybody to film their own face during a vertigo attack to show their doctors , I'll give them more clues to diagnose and cure you better.

Thank you all for your responses it has been so fascinating to hear what other people experience and how it differs from my own experiences.

I hope I will be able to demonstrate and simulate these experiences within my film.

Thank you all for your help!

Shaun
