LAST FALL I STARTED TO EXPERIENCE DIZZY SPELLS. I DO NOT COMPLETELY PASS OUT BUT I CAN NOT DO ANYTHING WHILE IT IS GOING ON EXCEPT SIT ON THE FLOOR TILL THEY ARE OVER. THEY WILL HAPPEN WHEN I'M WALKING, JUST GETTING UP FROM SLEEP OR EVEN WHEN I'M SITTING AT THE COMPUTER. THEY LAST SEVERAL MINUTES AND SINCE I DRIVE A FORKLIFT YOU CAN SEE WHY IT'S A PROBLEM.
THE DOCTOR GAVE ME SOME ALAVERT BUT THEY ONLY WORK FOR A SHORT TIME AND NOW THEY SEEM TO BE WORKING LESS EFFICIENTLY.I'M NOT INCAPACITATED WHEN I'VE TAKEN THE PILL BUT I STILL KNOW THEY ARE HAPPENING AND I FEEL UNSTABLE ON MY FEET OR EVEN DRIVING. THE DOCTOR TREATED ME FOR INNER EAR INFECTION ALSO AND THAT CLEARED UP BUT I STILL AM HAVING THE SPELLS AND THEY ARE GETTING MORE FREQUENT. WHEN I START TO GET OVER THEM I FEEL ALOT OF PRESSURE IN MY ABDOMEN AND OR ALOT OF GAS, NAUSEA AND I SOMETIMES HAVE DIAHREA. I FEEL LIGHTHEADED, TIRED AND BAD THE REST OF THE DAY. IT'S ALL BAD BUT THE WORST IS I NEVER KNOW WHEN THEY ARE GOING TO HAPPEN.
