Many people had the vertigo experience when getting older, a few of my buddies, their wives and myself included. Perhaps due to inner ear disorders, and that dizziness really scared you to sh*t, verything turning/spining when it attacked. See a doctor, hope you get well soon. i really like the Brandt-Daroff Home Exercises and it helped me a LOT:

The Brandt-Daroff exercises really helped me through it. Good luck!!

I had it for about 3 months when  I was 30. I would&#x27;nt wish it on my worst enemy.I have&#x27;nt had a problem in 20 years. I think I got it from drinking too much . Hope you feel  better soon.

totoyturok · Answer

thanks. cant even go out. i might ask for other doctor&#x27;s opinion.

Europa · Answer

&#xD;&#xA;it lasted for 4 weeks or so after that initial attack. Try that Brandt-Daroff exercises, they worked for my buddy&#x27;s wives and myself, pretty boring to practice those exercises twice a day but they could help.

Had it twice need to get an antibiotic. Its been 4-5 yrs since i had it can&#x27;t remember the name of it.

picc818 · Answer

happened to me many years ago. doc prescribed antivert which was a temporary fix.  turned out to be panic attacks. ask your doc to give you a script for prozac, paxil, zoloft, or something like it and you&#x27;ll feel like a new man in no time.

JEFFMARKETCAP · Answer

I think it is anxiety related.  probably a social anxiety disorder.  when does it happen?  How often does it happen?  Does it happen when you are alone?  Does it happen more when you are in public?

totoyturok · Answer

it happens every night. it doesnt matter if im in public or alone. it just the same.

totoyturok · Answer

and thanks guys for the suggestions. i&#x27;ll keep that in mind.

totoyturok · Answer

Were you hyperventilating? during these anxiety attacks?

Pretty sure you were like the rest of us. Vertigo is normal because you`re taking on C02 at high levels which makes you dizzy. Enjoy it at 200 below surface when you`re out of air sometime.

Normal response to anxiety for all of us - you won`t die. Try to exorcise and trust that your mind is in tune with your body before cycling the Lexapro.

Relax, ya won`t die from an anxiety attack.

....btw - when one comes on it is deefinitely is uncomfortable. WATER is your best friend. Always have a full liter on hand. You just cal aq time out and take big gulps until the episode supsides.

totoyturok · Answer

Quit gambling for a little bit. I&#x27;m sure those nail biter games or betting over your head at times increases your anxiety like crazy each day. Get some exercise and give up the bets for a little and see if you notice any improvement

Day-trader1 · Answer

Vertigo is a nonspecific symptom that needs to be worked up.  I would seek the advice of a neurologist on this one.  The differential diagnosis ranges from otitis media/externa to Meniere&#x27;s disease(which is common in your age group).  But like I said, vertigo is nonspecific and a physician will need to take a good history and physical to figure it out.
