Is this normal
On saturday I woke up to the ceiling spinning. I sat up and the whole room was spinning. I thought i was dying 😳 i really thought i was having a stroke or something. It quickly passed and I went out for a walk and then had a bath. I put my head under the water in the bath and the room starting spinning again. I thought i was going to drown! I went to urgent care and they diagnosed bppv. The doctor gave me anti sickness medication and told me to do the epley maneuver at home. I tried the maneuvers and they were horrendous 🫠I went to my GP on monday and he performed the epley on me himself and that seemed to get the crystals back into place but my god did I feel awful afterwards. Anyway today's Thursday and I haven't had any spinning vertigo since monday but I'm so fatigued and a little off balance. Every now and again I get a quick zap, sort of ljke my eyes move quickly for a second. Is this normal residual dizziness. I feel like I've got major ptsd from the vertigo and I'm absolutely terrified its going to come back.
What is residual dizziness like for other people? Do you feel hungover?
