A member asked:
Do short (<5sec), sudden intense spinning vertigo attacks that resolve itself warrant further investigation? happens once every few months

Yes: Not likely to be a tumor or something terribly serious, especially at your young age of 27. But you are pregnant. Suppose you were crossing the street or driving when it happened. Could you stay upright or drive safely? You should probably be checked and a diagnosis found so you would know whether this could be treated. Otolaryngology (vestibular specialist) is the best specialist to consult.

Depends: This symptom can be caused by a vascular condition, a neurological condition or medication you are taking.or with quick changes in position. Please consult with your family physician for an examination to find the cause.
