Re: vertigo help..

I have had that with a virus a couple of times .... it's because the stabilising influence in your middle ear has been interfered with through pressure in that region.

If its viral like mine was, it just has to pass @outlander .....

Using those Vick's nasal inhalers might help, cos the sinuses are linked to the ear canals.

i dont have any infections though.. thats why its weird.

ive had it a few times with panic attacks and after them but never this bad.

is it possible that maybe its jsut a really bad bout of anxiety causing it..? or mimicking vertigo?

@Faith-and-Hope

ive just been sitting down to rest as well so it can pass but it doesnt seem to be helping me or not yet anyway. im sitting here and getting massive headspins that are making me grab the side of the arm chair to stabilise myself..

or is it better to lay down?

Its still not easing @Faith-and-Hope
Ive tried laying flat sutting up and laying in my side both sides and i cant sleep because its like being in a boat if rough seas 😞

Re: vertigo help..

Yes, that is what it was like for me too @outlander.

Maybe call a healthline or speak to the pharmacist ? Maybe travel sickness tablets will help, but you would need them to tell you that.
