A member asked:
Woke up with severe vertigo, has lasted 3 hours. no other symptoms, never had vertigo last this long. what could be cause, and should i see a dr?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Usually benign: probably was positional, due to changes in fluid balance in the canals of the inner ear, and the effects little floating crystals then have, in those canals. Recurrence should prompt you to a Dr. Could be due to head trauma, allergies, ear, sinus, throat, and other respiratory infections. Rarely, supplements or meds. Many times no identifiable source. Get well.
