What do u mean by vertigo ?

Here is a general description I copied;

Definition

Vertigo is a feeling of spinning or whirling when you are not moving. It can also be an exaggerated feeling of motion when your body is still. Vertigo is different from passing dizziness or light-headedness.

Causes

Inner ear nerves and structures sense the position of your head and body in space. Vertigo is often caused by problems with these nerves and structures.

Vertigo can be due to the following conditions:

Benign Paroxysmal Positional Vertigo (BPPV)

There are tiny particles that naturally exist in the inner ear. Sometimes these particles can be displaced when the head is tilted. The particles then push against hair-like sensors in the ear. This can cause vertigo. BPPV may result from:

Head injury

Infections

Disorders of the inner ear

Age-related breakdown of the vestibular system

Idiopathic (no obvious cause)

Labyrinthitis

Labyrinthitis is swelling and irritation of the inner ear. This often follows an upper respiratory infection, like a cold.

Meniere's Disease

Meniere's disease is caused by a Fluid buildup in a part of the inner ear. This vertigo usually occurs along with hearing loss and tinnitus (ringing in the ear).

I was like that & mine was low potassium, low b12 & low iron. The put me on liquid potassium, b12 shots & iron supplement. It has since went away & levels are now normal.

There are so many things that could be wrong, but I would strongly suggest you visit your primary care physician or an ENT. Sometimes surgeons may not be as well versed in things that are commonly seen by your regular physician.

I had the same problem and it was my blood pressure. Contact your pcp to have it checked. Good luck!!

They did check everything

Does everything include your vitamin/mineral levels? I don't remember if you mentioned those.

Yes they checked everything

Vertigo?? You know I'm going to ask again

Ya they did check it today and they said its not vertigo

Im regretting getting this surgery

Oh I'm so sorry I really hope that they can figure it out soon...

Thx
