Hey! I had vertigo last year around this time. I went to a physical therapist and she performed the Eply Manuever on me (don't try it at home unless you know exactly which ear is causing the veritgo) and I was better by the time I left her office. Find a physical therapist who specializes in balance work, not only can they get you straightened out that day, they will give you exercises to do for the next few days to make sure you are going to stay well. Also, sleeping at a 45 degree angle will help. Good luck, I know how bad it sucks. Stay away from salt and caffeine, and stay hydrated. It helps, until you can see the PT. Keep us updated!

Hi, I suffer from vertigo in spells that used to last weeks at a time UNTIL I got my ears adjusted by a chiropractor. Seriously. Tell him/her you have vertigo (if you haven't been diagnosed it might be something due to high blood pressure so have your doc rule other stuff out to be safe).

Look into an audiologist that specialiEs in balance. We are trained to determine which side is causing the vertigo and maneuvers (like PP said, Eply is an example) to help give you relief and move the crystals/rocks back into place

Yes! About a month ago and mine lasted two weeks (only because couldn't leave house due to ice storm). I went to chiropractor and it helped but she wasn't trained and it didn't go away. I went to specialist and they sent me to Physical Therapist and performed the Eply Manuever. I found out that you Do Not need a referral from doctor to see the physical therapist especially for vertigo. Go as soon as you can. It was like magic!
