I get vertigo too, and I think it is related to fibro. I know other people who have fibro as well and experience vertigo. I have found exercises that seem to help and I think that they are on web md? I would google home remedies or exercises for vertigo, that's where I found some helpful information. Good Luck!!!!! =)
I have vertigo at times. I actually had it bad yesterday but after I ate lunch & really pushed my water intake, I was feeling better by the afternoon. I'm not sure if it's related to the Fibro or just being dehydrated. I hope you find a way to deal w/ yours. Good luck!
Hello..
I've recently started to get vertigo and dizzy spells. For me it feels more like when you get off a roller coaster and/or elevator.
Sometimes It feels like an after shock effect under my feet where the floor feels like it's vibrating. I've never had vertigo so frequently as I am now. I usually take allergy pills like Allegra, Claritin or Flonase to ease the sinuses which may cause more vertigo/dizziness.
Thank you all for feedback. MRI came back OK. Apparently is ājust becauseā vertigo. Went to the ENT and gane me some manauvers and exercises for whenever another episode comes about. I guess is just something that I will have to live with!!!
I had my first Positional Vertigo episode in 2008, 4 years before my fibro diagnosis. It took a good 2 months for it to go away completely. I have since had 2 other "episodes". I take Betahistine when it acts up. I also had MRI, CT, bloodwork etc and a trip to an ENT specialist. The maneuvers worked when the doctor's did them but not when I tried at home. I have residual vertigo now, I have to be careful I don't move too quickly. It sucks. It's the worst feeling in the world. Puts me out of commission for a few days and my family counts on me for so much. As far as coping, just pray that when it happens, you don't have any plans for a few days. xo {{HUGS}}
My hubby suffers Vertigo as well. He dose not have fibro. He takes ginger pills and drinks ginger tea. Been about a year now and he has had three attacks. Two bad ones and a very mild one .Take care , hugs.
Hi. I was diagnosed with FM in 2008 and just 2 weeks ago I was diagnosed with, Benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (BPPV). By my Rheumy. I donāt get the spinning I get the light headedness and feel like Iām floating out of my body.
Iām amazed at how many have issues with vertigo. Mine is from BPPV - loose crystals deep in my ear - previously mentioned. My last Ear, Nose the Throat doctor taught me something called the Epley maneuver that I can do at home. I did the exercises and they worked. Itās happened twice since - once after a knock to my head - and both times, it was gone within a week.
Hello. Itās weird that Iāve started having vertigo, and my blood pressure has decreased in the past month. It was averaging 127/75, now itās averaging 105/51. I recently got a prescription for my blood pressure meds, but Iām not taking them every day(per Dr), and Iām monitoring my blood pressure twice a day. After posting this I donāt know if itās vertigo or dizziness. I was standing up the other day and felt like I was moving. Once I was driving and when I looked before making my right on red turn, I was dizzy and confused. Iām going to speak with the Dr about it.
