Persistent Vertigo

After a trip to San Diego 9/6/14 and a couple of restaurant breakfasts, I had the onset of vertigo on Monday.  Out of the blue.  I was at work, sitting at my desk when the room started to spin.  It passes if I rest with my eyes closed.    I drove home to visit Mom mid-day and on the drive out, the spinning returned.  I had to have Holly drive me back to work.
The symptoms have returned without warning on & off all week.  I turn my head too rapidly and it spins.  Just walking and I get a spin.  Walking to work this morning and got some symptoms.  Not enough to disable.  Hasn't been that bad. Just bad enough that I notice and have to take precaution, grab a wall or stop walking.
Sitting at my desk today and spun my head to look at something.  Now the symptoms are moderate. No nausea but definite dizziness & spinning.     I can't take a nap under my desk like I did before with my new office mate.   Seems like I am becoming unstable.  Maybe its time to kill the ear.

Double Carl

Treated myself to a fast food burger on a Friday.  Sunday morning, woke up with vertigo.   Not out of control, vomiting vertigo, just a constant feeling of spinning and dizziness.   Tried to get up and function but couldn't shake it.  Had to go back to bed.  Slept about four hours and still had it when I woke up.
Figures it was a day when Mom was out of control.   Annie had to go over there and take her to the ER for a possible UTI.  I had to crash on the couch.  

Caught a Cold-Hearing Gone

Traveled on a plane for a diving trip.  Lady a few rows up kept sneezing.   I had a premonition that she was going to get everyone around her sick.  Came down with the cold at the end of the trip and had to cancel the last day of diving.  My hearing was immediately effected and I attributed it to the congestion and swelling.   Now, I am almost two weeks out and my hearing has not improved.  Taking Sudafed daily with little, and only temporary, improvement.   Starting to worry that this might not get better.  Having trouble understanding Annie in the same room.  Going to call my ENT for an appt on Monday.  Give it one more week to improve.
Just reviewed an old post, "and now allergies".   I talked about having the same fullness in both my ears like a normal person gets with altitude changes.  Used Claritin with some relief then.   Maybe I should switch from Sudafed to an allergy med?
