Do they spray the sky where you are? Can you see long white trails that look like lines that are white clouds, I have been reading much about this, it is called solar radiation management. The spray is designed to "cool" the atmosphere, however it has metals in it that can cause these exact problems. I am only mentioning this if you are truly wanting to explore all possible causes, I hope you get to the bottom of it, it is scarey to be sick suddenly.

A couple years ago I woke up in the middle of the night and the room was spinning out of control. I was also sick to my stomach and began vomiting. I'd never experienced anything like it before and so I asked my daughter to call 911 (we were on vacation at the time). The paramedics arrived and took all my vitals. Everything was basically within normal ranges (blood pressure, etc.). After asking me a series of questions, the paramedics eventually determined that I was dehydrated and was experiencing heat exhaustion. That was what was causing the dizziness and vomiting. They stayed with me for a while as I began drinking fluids (Gatorade). The dizziness began to subside and I reached a point where I felt comfortable letting them leave. Needless to say, I didn't get much sleep that night. I made sure to drink plenty of fluids and after several hours the nausea ended. Thankfully, that was my one and only experience like that. I'm careful now to make sure I drink plenty of fluids.

I had this a few years ago following the extraction of a large molar. Apparently, the movements required to remove the tooth, caused the little calcium crystals that live in a little "pouch' in the inner ear to come out. As these crystals move about the inner ear they irritate the fine hairs which sends a signal to the brain that translates to vertigo. The condition is called BPPV, Benign Paroxysmal Positional Vertigo. Usually, if you think back to something you did that could cause the head to be jarred in such a way that something like this could happen (like my tooth extraction), you at least know what you can do to avoid doing it again in the future! I was prescribed Antivert for the dizziness and nausea, and after taking it for a few days, I felt much better and the condition went away. I was told that if the meds didn't work,that an ear, nose, and throat doctor could do the Epley maneuver (not all doctors are trained to do it), to make the crystals go back to where they are supposed to be and can give instant relief. Never needed to see the ENT though, as the medication worked for me. I have had a couple of episodes where I woke up feeling dizzy, but took an Antivert and it went away again with one pill. Good luck to you - hope this helps.

On 11/6/2014 cyndog said: I was out in the yard and in a split second I felt like I was going to pass out. Made it into the house and called 911, never felt so awful in my life. It was that feeling right before you pass out, but I didn't. I thought I was going to die and felt so bad, I actually didn't care if I did. Paramedics came (longest 15 minutes of my life) and when they were moving me, that's when I started vomiting and did so all the way to the hospital. Hospital thinks it was a vertigo attack. Never had it before. I went to a ears, nose, throat doctor who also said it seemed like vertigo and sent me to a physical therapy office to have the Hallpick(?)- Epley test for it. The test did not bring on the symptoms, so therapist seemed stumped. Then went to my longtime doctor who also said it sounds like vertigo, that it comes with a big attack, then milder ones (which I've had), then in most cases fades away. I asked for a brain scan which he's setting up. I have to travel in three weeks do I have to figure this out. Meanwhile, I'm afraid to drive or be alone when my husband 's not around. I can't imagine vertigo could make you feel that horrible, I'm traumatized. I never got dizzy, but lightheaded, apparently there 's a difference. Has anyone experienced anything like this? I'm a nervous wreck.
I've had vertigo before, and it has to be *the* worst symptom as it can be so tough to do everyday, mundane tasks (even going to the restroom to brush one's teeth). I'm not sure if you do have an inner ear (vestibular) disorder, but how about getting a second opinion from another physical therapy office who does vestibular rehabilitation for those with inner ear disorders. You may want to get a second opinion from another ENT (ear, nose and throat) doctor, too. With regard to vestibular rehab, please do *not* try to provide a self-diagnosis or self-treatment as not all vestibular disorders are treated with physical exercises since it may worsen symptoms (which may possibly lead to falls and/or injury).
