Vertigo new symptom near ovulation?

Posted , 4 users are following.

I woke up one morning with my first ever episode of vertigo.. gripping the bed, sat up and never having it before.. panicked and landed in the ER. This was 5 months ago and im about to turn 45. Ive been suffering with many symptoms that come and go but oh boy!, this one! I was given ativan, merclizine and sent home. Felt like i was on a boat badly laying and turning.. had a few more episodes but just tried to ride through them. Did the epley manuveur a few times but since i was on meds, i felt OK. It went away the next day. I made not of it in my journal.. 3 days before ovulation. Next month the same thing, i look and its the SAME time of cycle. i do get dizzy and sometimes feel im on a boat but never this.. anyway its happened every cycle for a day or two and always 2-3 days before ovulation... i cant find much about this and wonder if this happens to anyone else??? Very distressing. (Sorry about misspellings), have the dizzys right now, cant lay down, as soon as i lay, i feel the spinning start again..

    Vertigo is terrible and i do notice it comes and goes when my hormo es are off. i do the Epley maneuver and it dizziness goes away completely in a day or so but with almost immediate relief of the spinning vertigo.

    its the worst.
