If anyone has experienced vertigo (and tried to deal with it,)

[elleng]

please let me know. I had my first experience today (after having been hearing about a classmate dealing with it for months,) and doing some research, I found a couple of approaches I plan to try.

1. Epley

Try the Epley maneuver. You can find it on you tube

2. Thanks. That's the 2d 'remedy' I posted.

3. Whoops

Sorry, somehow the video didn’t show up when I first looked. Ime I sometimes have to do it two or three times, and it may take 15 minutes or so after you do it each time before you feel better.

4. Thanks. Tried both once today,

am home alone now (and most of the weekend,) but will try a couple of times. Epley or video/somersault better?

5. Somersault

I prefer the somersault. It works better for me

7. Thanks

Tried it earlier with a friend here (holding the computer.) Now home alone; hope I can get details down.

6. Hi Ellen!

I found a video on YouTube a few years ago. It’s Dr. Carol Foster from U of Colorado Denver. She demonstrates a half somersault maneuver that I have used and recommended multiple times thru the years. It helps my vertigo quite a bit. I can’t post the video here w my dinky old phone, but it’s easy to find. Good luck! Hope you find something to ease your vertigo-it’s no fun. PS Years ago my mom’s doc gave her a medication called Antivert to alleviate her symptoms. Don’t know if you want to go the prescription route or not.

8. Yes, saw it, posted above. Thanks.

I'd rather NOT do prescriptions, surely as long a there's a way to alleviate the problem itself.

9. The Epley Maneuver worked for me.

First it was done by a physical therapist, and then I did it by myself at home till the symptoms disappeared for 24 hours. It wouldn’t be a bad idea to have a doctor rule out more serious causes of an especially severe episode of vertigo, as I found out the hard way. Best of luck—take good care. https://www.medicalnewstoday.com/articles/319171.php
