Eco Posted June 21, 2017 Share Posted June 21, 2017 Anyone ever suffer from it? I got hit with it on Monday, and it's been off and on since, until this morning when I completely fell on the way to the bathroom. Obviously, I'm staying home from work today, and I'll be going to the doctor's later. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Subscriber nudge+ Posted June 21, 2017 Subscriber Share Posted June 21, 2017 Get it checked, it's usually nothing serious but you want to rule out potential neurological issues. I sometimes get a mild dizzy spell if I haven't eaten for too long and my blood sugar levels go down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I eat well so I doubt it's sugar related, but since I'm going on 3 days of it coming and going, I don't feel great about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cicero Posted June 21, 2017 Share Posted June 21, 2017 All the time. When I'm sitting or laying down and I get up too quick, I get light headed, blured vision, and dizzy for a few seconds. Doctors claim it is because the blood flow in my body is going to my legs and it takes a few seconds for my body to adjust. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was quite severe and had one bout which ended up with him losing his hearing in one ear. Was sudden though at the time. Definitely go and get it checked out before it gets too serious.

Dickie Posted June 21, 2017 Share Posted June 21, 2017 Go talk to an ENT about it they are the people that sort it out, unless you develop a vestibular disorder like me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You should definitely go. Why take the chance? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeadLinesman Posted June 22, 2017 Share Posted June 22, 2017 Had a week off work with it last year. Caused by an inner ear infection after a virus that I'd had about two weeks previously according to the GP. Couldn't drive or anything, was horrible.

Last year I sliced my finger open to the bone with a serrated knife. Went to the local small hospital cas ward and the doctor sutured it, and wrote me up a ticketfor the finger specialist in Sydney. 8 am appointment. 6 am train up from Wollongong. On a public holiday. I didn't wanna go. My paramedic friend said I should, and my doctor friend said I should, but I can't be told. I said fuck that and didn't go. My finger tingles from time to time and has very little sensation above the cut. The nerve wasn't completely shot, but it's not great either. Make mediocre decisions, get mediocre results.

Eco Posted June 22, 2017 Author Share Posted June 22, 2017 I will live! I have BVVP, which is most likely due to a fall I had in a tennis match last Saturday. Easy fix that was done with some exercises, and now I'm not supposed to move my head much at all for the next 2 days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toony Posted June 22, 2017 Share Posted June 22, 2017 You definitely did the right thing to go and get it checked out. Can't be taking any risks with head injuries, glad everything is reasonably okay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Over the last 12 months something similar has happened but only 3 or 4 times. When lay down facing the ceiling. When getting up my head would spin for like 10 seconds. Only happened a few times though luckily. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
