You are probably aware that I have been plagued by sporadic vertigo episodes for a couple years now. These episodes have typically lasted 2 to 4 days, & last summer 1 was so bad that I could not turn in bed with out becoming extremely nauseous & vomiting.
Doctors prescribed a medication which did not help the dizziness & just made me groggy. We were at a loss knowing what caused it or how to deal with it ... beyond simply coping.
But then a few weeks ago, my dear ol' dad suggested that my vertigo might be tied up with allergies. Whenever I felt the vertigo coming on, I was to take something with antihistamine. (Dad had experienced something similar several years ago, & dealing with allergies worked for him.)
WOW! Dad seems to have figured it out because a few times since our conversation, I have taken allergy medication when I felt woozy, it did the trick & my symptoms cleared up!
