@contenchess saidSo how does someone get vertigo?
I have had severe vertigo for over 24 hours.
Extremely dizzy where I can't even walk or stand up.
That dizziness has made me puke 🤮 over and over.
I feel like I'm on a boat in the ocean during a hurricane.
I wouldn't wish this on my worst enemy.
And how do you get rid of it?

@Contenchess
This is serious.
Seek professional medical advice.

Very strange.

@contenchess saidI've had vertigo for years. The meds didn't work for me. The attacks seemed worse during other illnesses.

@contenchess saidSounds awful. Inner ear infection is a common cause.

@contenchess saidSorry you're not feeling well. I used to suffer from a bit of that, though not so severe, along with the occasional panic attack. Started doing 30 min. of yoga exercises a day and it all gradually vanished. Hope this helps. 🙂

@contenchess saidI will translate from a Swedish magazine - I know a couple of friends who had it at least once:

@contenchess saidIf you haven't taken anything (or overindulged) then it does indeed sound like an ear infection. Definitely contact your GP. Don't wait.

@rookie54 saidThis approach takes the burden off the health service at this time of year. If only others showed this level of thoughtfulness and came up with similar remedies of their own.

@Contenchess
Doing okay over there? I have only had vertigo twice in my life, and don't wish to have it again.
I think it was the Epley Maneuver which helped me both times (it's a sequence of postures that helps to get the rogue crystals out of where they shouldn't be).
This article mentions Epley and three other approaches, so I'm hoping this helps as a start:

BUT if you also have a fever, you really had better get to the ER/A&E.
