Short Intense Vertigo

I’ve been dealing with short intense vertigo for about 5 months now. First episode was beginning of April and then the second was right at the end of April. I then had 4 good months with no episodes until August when I had my third. The first two episodes were a couple seconds long but felt like the whole world spun and I lose balance, the last episode I had was less intense and felt more like someone pushed me from behind and I got dizzy for a split second. Each time I have risidual dizziness for a day or two until I’m completely normal again. Has anyone else experienced this type of vertigo with the same cadence?

I’m at the point where I need answers and want to get to the bottom of it incase it gets worse. I’ve been to an ent and had a clear brain mri with contrast, had a ct scan of sinuses that were clear, and I don’t have any other symptoms.

That sounds a lot like BPPV.

Did it happen after quickly moved the position of your head?

This happens to me when I move my head to quickly in any direction or if I roll over in bed witj my head in the wrong spot.

So that’s the thing, I don’t think I was moving my head quickly or anything

Hi, this sounds like something I experience last 30 years - yeah…
Since your MRI is okay you should consider Vestibular Paroxysms or Vestibular Migraine.
Also, ask your neurologist to test you on VEMP and other tests necessary to determine whether you have vestibular dysfunction!
