Hope it's just one of the many things going around this time of year. Do you have a fever or diarrhea? Make sure to stay hydrated as best you can. Take it easy and hope you feel better soon.

@Luvsmyfam

Sounds like the latest Covid "variation".

I had it in August (lasted 2 weeks)...and the ONLY place I had been in with close contact with others, WAS the DOCTOR'S OFFICE... Take care, get well. di

@Luvsmyfam Did you seek medical attention or call the doctor?

Please call your doctor as a poster here as recommended. Could be a type of vertigo....

@Luvsmyfam I hope it's only a temporary thing. Lots of strange sickness going around at this time of the year. Take care.

@Desertdi - That's exactly where my hubby picked up the Covid virus 2 yrs ago in October, he got really sick then I caught the virus, luckily I wasn't as sick as he, our doc prescribed Paxlovid which helped eased the symptoms.

I had a few cases of vertigo many years ago, I found antihistimanes (sp) helped, it often has to do with the inner ear.

I have had vertigo a few times. Yes, it can be bad. Sometimes I can't even turn my head without getting dizzy and vomiting. It is scary and horrible.

It's a real problem because as you know, you occasionally have to use the rest room.

I once got stuck on the sofa for two days and couldn't move my head or use the rest room.

Now, I always carry BONINE with me. It helps a lot. As soon as I start to feel dizzy, I pop a tablet into my mouth. it's an over the counter item.

I have a blister pac of this med in my purse and in my medicine cabinet. I wouldn't be without it.

I called 911 for my first and only time because of vertigo. I couldn't walk straight and my BP was way up. It can be very serious, @Luvsmyfam. I had an MRI to make sure it wasn't a stroke. I get lightheaded still but haven't had another episode of vertigo.

I've also had vertigo. I got it two years ago starting in August and it finally went away early in December. It wasn't constant but would come on go up & down in intensity thoughout the day and some days I didn't have it at all and though that it was finally gone only for it to return a few days later.

I discovered that when lying down on one side i felt much better than the other side. I looked up the Epley maneuver on YouTube and I believe it's what helped for it to finally go away. It's an inner ear issue.

I also suffer with vertigo and I send my sympathies to all who suffer with it! It can hit suddenly with extreme symptoms and other times one can feel it coming on and prevent an attack. ❤️

You might have an ear infection. I felt dizziness once and went to urgent care. I was told I had an ear infection and was prescribed antibiotics.
