Vertigo and dizziness and tinnitus

Posted , 3 users are following.

hi i posted yesterday but wondered if anyone knew what could be causing my symptoms as whenever i get vertigo i go into complete panic and become obsessed at googling.

i got it a 3am after coming bk from a funfair. i only went on 1 ride "the mad mouse" and had severe vertigo which lasted 10mins but severe dizziness for 2 days, vomitting and extreme tiredness.

ive only had 3 episodes of vertigo in the last 8 weeks twice when laying on my right side then it disappeared for about 10 days and came back again and got it when performing the eply manovure.

apart from that i get a sensation I'm on a boat throughout the day that comes and goes. I'm completely normal when walking outside and driving. i also have tinnitus but no fullness in ears or deafness. i occasionally have a headache which feels its behind my eyes. its more of a throbbing sensation. no vision problems. i wake up feeling light-headed.

any suggestions would be appreciated. i think its either BPPV, migraine vertigo or meniers disease.

    It's best if you got it checked out. If it affects only one side maybe it's BPPV, but then it could be anything. Get your GP to send you to a specialist.
