Hello, my name is Ai Tan from the PH. I am 32 yo now, female.
My story of vertigo began during 2013, I was around 27 when this has strike me. I remeber always sleeping late at night atound 2 am but don’t really have effect in me being young and active. I always travel always getting tired adventurous and eveything. But i think it really hit me was the stress at work. One time when i had to walk from work because there’s no public vehicle around, i was walking in an isolated area when i began feeling dizzy and the moment i walked it get worst as i feel like i am loosing my balance. Luckily there’s a taxi and asked him yo rushed me to emergency room. That time i did know what it is. When i got there i explained to the doctor and he said it might be vertigo, gave me SERC 24mg and it subsided. I got really scared because i dont kniw what it is. The doctor prescribed a lot of medicine because i got anxious and nervous about it. I often been to emergency rooms because of this. Fast forward to 2014-2016, i had at least once a year vertigo atack, this time it is different. Lying down i turend to the rofht or left and my whole world spins fast like a washing machine in dark circular movement. I could bot eve blink, or move my eyeballs. It would tak em 3 days to actually sit down and more than a month to recover. After recover i would suffer with imbalanace while walking. I have past the days but it is full of anxiety and imbalance. Walking normal is next to impossible i had to carry an umbrella and always hace something to hold on. Sometimes people laugh but it doesnt matter. They dont understand my situation. I havent had this attack for two years now but I am still troubling walking. i have had, head Citi scan, MRI, overall check up, everything, it is all negative thank God. But i still struggle to get back to my normal life. I have not slept in my left side or lying flat for almost 2 years now cause there’s some sort of liquid thing that makes me dizzy. Doctors here unfortunately doesn’t help with long term recovery, i still struggle with walking in balance. I pray to God it will be taken away from me.
If you have the same experience, and can advise anything please help it would be a big encouragement for me. Thank you!
caffeine is second. I dont drink at all, so that’s not a problem, chocolates i also reduced, and dairy. Though i drink milk every night. I did loose wait and avoid processed foods as much as possible. It has helped a lot. I did went on regular exercise, sort of change lifestyle. But there are times it still attacks me. I think because it was not really cured. I have contacted a new doctor, i hope he/she will diagnosed me corrctly. Because i realy can’t biy the medicines with out prescriptions, but i will ask the doctors about it. Thanks a lot! I will post of any updates. God bless us all!
