Vertigo!

It had been quiet a while since, I had a vertigo attack. Then voila! I had one three days ago and today is the first day, I am feeling normal.

It's raining outside and it is a cool day. It feels like a mid-summer reminder of the approaching Fall.

Both mom and I got up late today. Need to take care of things that I let slip due to the vertigo and hope to catch up with my favorite blogs.

Hope, everyone has a great day!

  1. I am glad you are better? Do you know what causes the vertigo?

    1. Thanks Linda! I know the cause is mechanical and not operable. A major blood vessel that delivers blood to my left ear is bent like a bent garden hose. I am on a med for life but every once in a while, I get a vertigo attack. Thankfully, I know how to deal with them now.

  2. Yuck, vertigo is not good. I haven't had it but Mom seems to get it every year or so - not sure why. Almost impossible to do anything except lie down while you've got it.

    1. That's right. I stay away from computer and phone screens, TV and reading so, it is also very boring. Cutting down salt and taking pills containing betahistine dihydrochloride help it. There is also a form of exercise. May be your Mom can ask her doctor if she/he hasn't already given them to her.

  4. Oh, geez! I experienced something like that once (my doctor called it 'labyrinthia') and I very nearly stumbled into traffic! Fortunately, it wasn't serious, but I can imagine how debilitating it could be on a regular or recurring basis. Glad you're feeling better! xx
