    Hi all thanks for all the replays I have got , I have been to see my GP he has referred me to the hospital got a very quick response I am there next Friday I think it's because I had a major op 4 months ago for ovarian cancer and the doctor is scared I fall again and do some damage he has also booked me of work again lol I only been back for 4 weeks , he said not to worry but take it easy and don't go anywhere by myself hope you are all in good health and I will update later thanks again x

      Hi Paula..Hope your trip to the hospital shows good news..Is it possible the dizziness is from the surgery (drugs or trauma)?Wow, ovarian cancer..you've really walked a rough road!! Take care, and we'll look forward to your update. God's keeping.

    Hi all---It sounds like all of us have some issue or another.  Paula I am sorry for your troubles.  I do believe chronic dizziness is the worse outside of having a fatal disease.  This weekend I am grounded by (I think) a virus thing.  Afraid to leave the house.  Being a human being isn't always easy is it?

    Hi Paula,

    I have been plagued by constant vertigo for the last 5 years. I've been diagnosed with migraine induced vertigo. Which text book says that you will experience vertigo before and during a headache. However because mine plagues me whether I have a headache or not I don't think this is an accurate diagnosis. However I think you were a classic migraine induced vertigo case. As trivial as it may sound physical therapy to reset your inner ear should help. Talk to your doctor about exercises and be sure to include ALL descriptions of the event. My ears buzz and sound like old TV tubes are on, is a big tip off. Sit down or steady yourself against a wall until it passes. Good luck.
