I would be so grateful if anyone who has had this would give me some information.
Last Friday after being unsteady on my feet when getting out of bed in the night for the loo, I woke up and could not even stand up, my head was that dizzy that I had to hold onto the walls to get to the bathroom.
I was lucky enough to get an appointment at the doctors and my man took me, although it was awful trying to stand up. The doctor gave me Cinnarizine which is for motion sickness and disturbed balance and said that I had probably had a sinus infection and it has disrupted the inner ear.
I took the tablets for 4 days and was feeling a lot better, so I stopped taking them, then yesterday tea time the awful dizziness started again and I had to go to bed. This morning it was even worse than last week and I couldn't even go to the surgery but I was lucky enough to get a home visit from the doctor, he checked eyes, BP etc and said that I must go back on the tablets, but I am so scared that it won't go away as it soon came back after stopping the tablets. He said if I still feel bad next Tuesday and am to call the surgery again, so I am very grateful for the doctors help.
PLEASE has anyone had a bad bout of vertigo? How long did it take to improve and can you suggest anything that I can do. I know I am a wuz but feel so bad at the moment.
