Guest guest Posted October 27, 2009 Report Share Posted October 27, 2009 *Hello there all you even, level headed people!* I had another bout of VERTIGO while having my HRCT yesterday!In the hospital no less!!! What a mess! I was able to get through the HRCT but had to cancel the PFT's that were supposed to follow. I got to the Doc's office ( needed a wheel chair) talked to his nurse and my Doc saw me immediately...good man that one! He just listened to my lungs and said he's call with the results of the HRCT today. I'll have to reschedule the PFT's and a real doctor appointment. Anyway, I got home ( Mike was with me..thank G-d) called the PT who specializes in Vertigo and balance issues and I had a 4:00 appointment yesterday!!! She's a miracle worker!!! After many tests and manipulations of my head I felt better! I did the at home exercises this morning and the vertigo is gone!!! The condition is called Benign positional Vestibular Vertigo..caused by those crystals in the inner ear moving to where they do not belong. I'm exhausted from the day yesterday and from not sleeping well last night for fear that I'd move " funny " and start it all over again! I know now that I can get rid of it with the at home maneuvers. I go again for PT tomorrow...I'm supposed to take it easy until then. That's easy...I'm too pooped to be busy!
