Sounds like Vertigo....I have that a couple of times and the first time was the worst one. Any time I turned my head I almost felt like yaking. Anytime I would rest my head down on the pillow it would take about one minute until things stop spinning. It usually goes away in about three days, the worst of it does anyway. It can linger for a few more though. The crappy thing is once you have it once it can come back again. Good luck, the first time for me was the absolute worst, I could not watch tv or read etc....I could not even go on TRF!!!!! Good luck

Paroxysmal Positional Vertigo (BPPV)

I've had it a few times , it sucks. Try this it's the only thing that really works.

I’m not a doctor so your issue might be totally unrelated so get it checked out, but I had vestibular neurititis more than 10 years ago , you have no doubt heard of varicella zoster which is basically the chicken pox virus that lays dormant in your system and can flair up along a nerve path and cause “shingles” , well this happened to me and it affected my vestibular nerve(inner ear) - dizziness like I was drunk , nausea , everything spinning , I even had eye nystagmus which was the eye flicking from side to side like I’m looking out the window of a train and your eye flicks from side to side as you see different things flying past you.



It lasted a week , and just as suddenly as it occurred , it disappeared.

Good luck !

I had similar symptoms hit me out of the blue. The trip to the ER revealed Vertigo. That was about 13 years ago; that bout lasted a week, during which I could hardly get off the couch. I periodically get hit with short episodes that come out of the blue, but they don't last longer than a few seconds (except for maybe 2-3 one days episodes)

This. Try the Epley maneuver on yourself. You should still follow up with a doctor, but this might give you relief. It’s not a hard or risky procedure. Definitely worth trying.

This. Try the Epley maneuver, and pay a visit to either the ER or your primary care doctor. He/she will prescribe you some Zofran to relieve nausea. I hope you feel better soon.

Argh. Vertigo sucks. I get it from time to time. I just lay down and take a rest.

It could also be a Silent Migraine.

Yeeeah, that manouver is something physical therapists know precisely how to do. they even have some new tech for it.

Once the crystals are back in place, you might feel worse at first, until your brain re-calibrates.

Husband has had a few of those after the accident. The accident caused one they couldn't fix until his neck was out of the brace and he regained range of motion.

Best of luck!

No test drives in a Tesla either :D

feel better today, but it has had clearly some impact on my body. Hope that this is something that will not occur much more, what a crazy experience… Now i had allready for like 4 weeks that i felt a bit unsecure on my feets while walking...……. im not sure if that has something to do with this. Like i walked into a big hole or so, so lost balance a split second

Eply maneuver for sure! You will know because once you hit one direction doing that maneuver, you will really feel vertigo. The plus side is that once you go through the moves, it should subside without drugs or anything. ( I have vertigo from time to time and do the Eply thing)

See a doctor though asap. A bunch of guys on a watch forum aren't experts. haha
