artluvr09 Posted September 11, 2015 Report Share Posted September 11, 2015 Was this vertigo? I woke up this morning when out to decide what to have for breakfast. Then I got distracted looking in the mirror on the side of the fridge. Then I went to look at my grandma who was right there and i did not turn my head quick at all and I suddenly felt like i was falling and being swooped back up kind of swaying. I am not sure if the room span or not cause i closed my eyes as soon as the sensation started. It was really weird. It just happened once thank goodness. But i never felt like anything like it.

little_blue_jay Posted September 11, 2015 Report Share Posted September 11, 2015 Yes if it happened when you turned your head that does sound to me like vertigo (but I'm not a doctor).I know my own symptoms (I have moderate peripheral vestibulopathy) and if I look up too fast to look at a bird or a plane or something I will feel dizzy and imbalanced, like I am tipping over backwards. It's not just a feeling, I actually do start tipping over backwards, because when I used to work the drive-thru at the coffee shop I used to work at, the order screen was way up high and we had to keep looking way up and then down to make the coffees (stupid design I know) and I couldn't do that for more than 15 minutes and I'd insist on switching spots with someone, cuz one time I caught myself starting to tip over backwards and I refused to do that spot anymore even though we were supposed to stay an hour... there was nothing to meet my skull behind me but sharp tile counter edge If it keeps happening get your doctor to send you to an otolaryngologist.

statesof Posted September 12, 2015 Report Share Posted September 12, 2015 Yea, sounds like vertigo, those quick head motions tend to cause them in my case as well, did you find it went away quickly or stayed for a while? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
artluvr09 Posted September 12, 2015 Author Report Share Posted September 12, 2015 Little Blue Jay, That is exactly how i get too! I get overwhelmed in grocery stores when i have to look high on shelfs and I hate bending up and down. I can't pick up sea shells anymore without getting lightheaded! I mean I have never gotten this sensation before it was weird. And states of: I found it did go away quickly thankfully . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
