Can anyone tell me if noise triggers that dizzy feeling in them....noise seems to make my ears ache and i can't stand how i feel, i have to put cotton wool in my ears if my husband is snoring...i was in the supermarket today and the noise from the chill cabinets really got to my ears i felt funny and felt like a dizzy spell might come on.
I haven't seen the ENT doctors yet so i don't know if it's BPPV or something else any ideas.

BPPV stands for Benign Paroxysmol Positional Vertigo.
I think this means if you move your head to either the left of right you can bring on vertigo...if thats what your suffering from....hope that this helps

Thanks for the explanation of BPPV. That's not what is effecting my husband. It is mostly dizziness when getting up out of a chair. Or even when he is seated. The doctor only said he had Vertigo. Some help!!

    I gave my 2 week notice last Friday 13th. Now to join you fine people in a life of leisure and nothing else to do but to look out for myself....is it just me or does that sound pretty boring? My goal was to live to retire and I guess having to take early retirement because of health reasons wasn't exactly the way I had planned things. I just can't stay in that building that is reeking mildew...

    I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
