puppylove Posted June 20, 2012 Report Share Posted June 20, 2012 About three times today I have gotten this feeling for one or two seconds where it feels like the world is spinning around me. It makes me feel like I need to grab on to something or shut my eyes. Is this vertigo? And is it just another lovely POTS symptom? Thanks.

McBlonde Posted June 20, 2012 Report Share Posted June 20, 2012 Sounds like vertigo! I had never experienced it until I took Midodrine. Midodrine gave me my life back but then suddenly caused me to have vertigo. Mine was positional vertigo though... I only experience when I turned over in bed or right when I got up... kind of felt like I was on a boat hit with waves! It took about 2 months to go away after I stopped taking the Midodrine.

corina Posted June 20, 2012 Report Share Posted June 20, 2012 I have spells of vertigo, they can last for about 3 days and disapear again. I can't get out of bed when I have them, even lifting my head from the pillow makes the world spin around. My family doc has no clue where these spells come from, so I "sit" them out. I haven't told my ANS doctor about this, as soon as it disappears I forget about it until they come back. I have this about 3 or 4 times a year. I hope this passes soon for you Puppylove!

jpjd59 Posted June 20, 2012 Report Share Posted June 20, 2012 Puppylove:This was actually the first symptom that my daughter had with POTS. Since then it happens a few times a month. It must have something to do with POTS because she has had her inner ear checked out and everything is fine. Sorry this is happening to you.
