DIZZINESS

From: NANCY

Comments

I HAVE BEEN FEELING DIZZY FOR ABOUT A MONTH OR TWO NOW, JUST WHEN I GET UP. IT IS NOT ENOUGHT TO MAKE ME FAINT, BUT I WILL GET A RUSH AND IF I TALK MY SELF OUT OF PANICING, IT WILL GO AWAY, AND RE-APPEARS WHILE I AM UP ON MY FEET. I DON'T FEEL SICK, JUST LIKE MY HEAD IS FLOATING. IT FEELS LIKE SOMEONE PUMPED IT WITH AIR. IS THIS SYMPTOMS OF VASO-VAGAL. I DON'T HAVE CHEST PAIN, BUT I HAVE BEEN VERY INACTIVE FOR THE PAST FEW MONTHS BECAUSE OF INFECTED EARS (FROM SINUS), WE WENT ON CRUISE, AND THIS SEEM TO GO AWAY, WHEN I WAS SO ACTIVE, AND UP ON MY FEET. NOW, EVERY TIME I GOT UP, I FEEL THE SAME WAY.. UNTIL I SAW THIS, I FIGURED IT WAS VERTIGO, BUT NOW I DON'T KNOW. ANY SUGESTIONS ABOUT SIMULARTIES BETWEEN VERTIGO AND VASO-VAGAL. I THINK I AM BEING TREATED FOR THE WRONG THING. ANY IDEAS?
