Sudden Attacks of Vertigo Posted: 11-16-04 10:19am
I have sudden attacks of vertigo. These
usually occur when I am sitting still.
The room suddenly spins and I can't see or
hear clearly. I sometimes get a pressure
feeling in my ears. These attacks last
about 5 minutes or more. When the attack
is over, I am tired and loopy. I get
headaches as well. I am hypoglycemic but
control it with diet. I also have tmj.
I am getting tested for meniere's disease.
I am also sensitive to loud noises.
When I ask my kids to turn down the tv,
they think I am crazy. Even my husband
tells me it's not too loud. To me, it's
deafening. Is there anyone else out there
who is as frustrated with this as I am?
My family thinks I am nuts. They believe
me but I don't think they see the severity
of it. Am I alone here or does anyone
else know how I feel?
