Slight Vertigo, what medicine should I consider?
By
Question: Hey all,
I am a college student who has recently been experiencing some slight vertigo while working on my on-campus library. It happens briefly and it is not from getting up too quickly. I have been looking into taking some motion sickness medicine, but I am not sure that is the best bet. Could this be more serious than I think? I don’t worry too much about it because after all, it is just dizziness that I feel. I am a college student, it could just be stress and exhaustion… right? Input would be highly appreciated.

Never try to self treat vertigo! It is imperitive to see a doctor to discover the cause of it. While vertigo is often nothing major, there are times that it can be a symptom of something serious.
Does it come and go? If so, are you eating healthy? Skipping meals can cause vertigo if your blood sugar gets too low. Of course, it could also be stress.
Is it constant? If so, you really need to be examined for an inner ear issue. Most inner ear problems need to be treated as they will not go away on their own. If it is constant, it could also be so many other things.
You need to see a doctor.

Vertigo has to do with the crystals that are deep inside your inner ear. When tiny pieces of these crystals break loose, they float around inside your ear, throwing your equilibrium off. You need to make an appt. with an ear doctor . By maneuvering the head certain ways, he can help these fragments embed themselves back into the ear tissue. More than likely he will give you a prescription for Valium. Don’t ask me how, but the Valium really helps with the dizziness.
