Dizziness, does anyone else have this rotten condition?

Yes, yes, yes. I have funny "spells" of feeling as though I'm being lifted up and spatially disorientated and my mind momentarily gets disorientated too. I put it down to the after effects of Covid.

Fortunately I don't lose my balance and can get my brain back into gear very quickly - I don't think it's ears or blood pressure.

Lots of people have mentioned having similar dizzy spells recently.

How is your blood pressure?
Do you feel dizzy when you stand up or is it at random times?

I have spells of dizziness, nausea and hot sweats.. The cause was eventually diagnosed as congestive heart failure.

What I'm trying to say is that there could be so many reasons for this, as you can see from the posts. Stemetil does help alleviate some of my symptoms.
Is it worth seeing your GP again?

I hope you you find some respite, it's a horrible sensation.

Thanks all, I just looked up those things, I didn't know about the Brandt daroff exercise but I found it easily online but I'm going to do it, I had never thought of going to a chiropractor but I will now, nor have I had my ears checked but I will, is that done at specsavers or the gp nowadays? I did stop taking the antidepressant (Lofepramine) which is a painkiller a few months ago but it hurt so much I went back on it but at a smaller dose & I cope with a bit of pain. I get a bit peeved that a condition which leads to loss of sensation doesn't stop pain, but that's how it is. I didn't know spinal problems can be the cause, but I do have round shoulders too, to add to my list of complaints, thank you all sooooo much for your help, I'm going to. try all those things as well as ginger, which is supposed to help too, it helps with neurological conditions too, and I love it, which is just as well. I'll report back in a week or so, after bank holiday and let you know how it went

I caught a virus some months ago which featured dizziness. I'm still getting bouts of it even now. The doctor gave me some exercises which do seem to help.

Sorry, forgot to mention; (Sinuses). Sometimes infected or blocked sinuses can also cause dizziness. I hope you find an answer, dizziness, especially when the cause hasn't yet been discovered, is upsetting and stressful. So fingers crossed 🤞

I have spells of dizziness and light headedness but I put it down to my cervical spondylosis, it can also be a side effect of one of the meds I take (Gabapentin). It’s an awful feeling so I sympathise, I hope you manage to find the cause or a way of coping with it.

My first thoughts.. Ears which has been said but get them to check your BP as well.
Good luck

Hi, the inner ear explanation is definitely worth checking out. Sometimes spinal problems, especially towards the neck can be the cause. Also; without prying, has the doctor ruled out any other tablets that you may be taking, as a possible cause!?

Oh, sorry Merylstreep you got there before me! Definitely worth a try

I got some exercises from the chiropractor which definitely helped a lot.
A bit hard to explain, but I’m sure you would be able to find them online.
You have my sympathy.

Try the Brandt Doroff exercise. It can help.

Have you had your ears tested?My dear Gran had an inner ear problem and was often dizzy and falling over. I think it was called Meniere's disease ... not sure how to spell it.
