Dizziness & Vertigo Support Group
Dizziness is the sensation of instability. Vertigo refers to dizziness with a sensation of motion. Vertigo is more likely than other types of dizziness to be associated with nausea, vomiting, or double vision, to occur even when lying down, and to feel better with the eyes closed. If you are a frequent sufferer of dizziness or vertigo, join the group and find support.
Hi,
I was diagnosed with Benign positional vertigo, my attack was on July 7th. I continue to have very short attacks at night, only in bed, when I flip around.
I called the ENT that I saw a week ago. His nurse called back and said I need to have a VNG at the hospital, which is some kind of balance test. Does anybody know what that is or has had one? I asked about a MRI, and my primary doc and the ENT said I didn't need one. Now I'm worried something is wrong!
Any information or advice is much appreciated!
I've had vertigo for 10 years. But I hadn't had an episode in a very long time then BBOOM. Had a bad episode. Only warning is the tinnitus got louder.
Performing Epley maneuvere is the winner. See my post on the other group.
