Any tips for recovering from vertigo imbalance? I've been suffering some inner ear thing for the last three days. Any head movement faster than a snail's pace results in a trippy experience, and I'm walking a bit like I'm drunk without the fun aspect of the alcohol.
@davidchow very many different causes for vertigo, but there is one that I have much experience with. You have my compassion! Nasal spray to clear the tubes is a simple first try. But Always good to speak to doctors first ofcourse.
The one that causes my vertigo is BPPV. The funny thing is; the instant solution (even if temporary) is also diagnostic for this vertigo. It’s a series of movements, that bring me instant relief, and that way I know it’s that definitely. You need a second person to help though. Look up “the epley manouvre” Many YouTube tutorials. It’s got something to do with the crystals floating in the gel in your inner ear. Takes 5 minutes and honestly gives me instant relief. It’s worth a try and you can’t do damage with it.
@ErikaDesign it's taken five or six days but I'm feeling much better thank you. I did do the Epley manoeuvre at the height of my vertigo and it did help a little bit on Saturday. I've been doing small variations of the manoeuvre, such as occasionally holding my head to my shoulder at a 45-degree angle. I'm still wobbly on my feet a bit but thankfully no longer look like I'm acting on the bridge of the starship Enterprise when there's an attack!
@davidchow funny; I jinxed it by interacting with you. Been floaty and dizzy for days now, keep having to lean against walls. I’m suspecting gunky sinuses at the moment though and not the bppv 🙈
