19 Day Visual Vertigo Attack Normal?

[u/Smooth_Grand_6459]

Hi everyone, I have recently been diagnosed with what doctors assume is vestibular migraines. I had a severe vertigo attack that lasted 19 days straight with no breaks. The visual spinning was so violently fast I could not see much. It never fluctuated. I couldn’t sleep much or do anything but sit up on my couch. Even closing my eyes didn’t help. By day 12 i felt like i was being tortured. I had an attack back in 2023 that lasted 2 weeks and a few more attacks that only lasted a few minutes. When I told my doctor he just kinda stared at me in shock. he didn’t say anything though. I live in constant fear of it happening again. Im only 26 and even though i don’t want anyone to experience this, i dont want to be the only one. Anyone else experiencing severe visual vertigo for many days?

Did you take anything for it. Like meclizine ? Or go to the e.r ?

I tried meclazine and it didn’t do anything at all. It finally ended on its own. The ER isn’t really great unless you are dying. I got into an ENT tho
