Anyone deal with this?  How did you cope?

I quit drinking.

Only momentarily.  I sit down and take a couple deep breaths and I'm good.  Sorry.

:eyes the remainder of the open fifth of vodka:

Yeah, it might be about time to cut back to just one fifth a day.

 

No, really, it's not usually too bad, but this evening, it's been awful.  We took my blood pressure and it was really low, so I'm guessing it's related, but I don't know how to fix that.

Drink a bunch of water - usually if your bp is low it because you are dehydrated.

Has it been diagnosed as true vertigo? Have you seen an ear, nose & throat doctor? I had dizziness that I thought was vertigo, but it ended up being inner ear problems that were easily corrected.

Later on when I had another bout of dizziness that wouldn't go away, it ended up being a thyroid issue (corrected easily with a hormone).
