I woke up this morning, turned my head to look at the clock and everything was spinning. It was a horrible feeling and left me feeling very nauseous. Every time I bend down I feel like I am going to fall over and I have felt sick all day. I don't really want to eat or drink.
Does anyone have any ideas as to what the problem could be, should I be seeing my GP ?

One of my neighbours had vertigo for a long time, and the medics didn't seem to agree on a diagnosis. She was sent to a psychiatrist at one point. I think it has stopped for the time being.
She is a person with many problems, much stress in her life.

I woke with terrible vertigo a few months ago. D.H. did sugar test for me that was Okay. We ended up at G.P. He practically had to carry me in! Sent for blood tests nothing amiss. Spent several days bed bound. Started to recover and then discovered that someone I know had exactly the same thing. Reckon it was a strange virus. Hope you get yours sorted. You may need to persist with the G.P.

The Vertigo is back with a vengeance today. It seems a lot worse than last time. I only have to slightly bend down and I feel like I am falling over and the nausea comes rushing back. Spending the day on the sofa today.

I've had this. GP recommended the Brandt-Daroff excercise. Google it, its very simple but you have to do it a couple of times a day for two weeks.

I also had this and the Brandt- Daroff excersise worked. It’s important to get the 45degree and 90 degree correct to move the little calcium build up in the middle ear.
