Sudden Vertigo: What Could Be the Cause?

New symptom today. It felt like I was falling or that the world was moving but I was sitting still. Has anyone had this happen and do you know what helps or makes it worse.

Can you help? connect today

Yeah i’ve had that happen once before. It was really random and i’m not sure what caused it. i don’t know of anything that would help but i just wanted to let you know ur not alone:)

Ok, thank you :)

Yes this happens to me. I just take it as a cue that I need to sit down and rest

oh all the time, even when I am lying down or sitting. Its very distorting and scary in the moment.

Yes! That’s called vertigo! My biggest trigger for it is eating too much sugar, so I balance it out by drinking a ton of water and eating lots of protein! If you can find what might trigger yours, it’ll make resolving it much faster!

Yes! Its like I can feel the world spinning around me for a brief period? Unfortunately I haven't found a remedy yet

Yes… sit or lay on cold floor and try not to pass out. But honestly that’s the only thing I can do/think to do when it happens.

Yep! Getting something cold on my face often helps.
