Seasick without the sea
The past 3 weeks or so I've been experiencing increasing frequency of headaches and dizziness, climaxing last week. So today I went to the doctor & found out that it's most likely due to benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (BPPV) . Hopefully with a treatment of nose-spray & seasick tablets I'll be right again after 2 weeks.

So you have 'rocks' in your head!
ReplyDelete(also I noticed the wiki page that you linked to said the treatment you have been given only treats the symptoms, not the cause of the symptoms - are they going to do anything to treat the cause of the symptoms?)
Well the 'rocks' have moved at least. They aren't sure what the cause is exactly. The Wiki page doesn't mention it, but 2 causes amongst others are 1)pressure/blockage in the sinuses or ear, & 2) a bacterial infection. The doctor is starting with treating for a blockage as I've had "bubbling" sensation at times in my nose. If it's not better after 2 weeks though I have to go back & get a course of antibiotics in case it's an infection. Adele Thomas has had the exact same thing for 10 weeks & they are only just starting on the exercise treatment. So I guess it's not their first course of action.
