Hello TLers. I'm wondering if anyone here has experienced having vertigo. Now, before you tell me that I should go see a doctor, don't worry, I've already made an appointment for a week from now. I'm just wondering if anyone has dealt with this before and might have some advice in the mean time, as it seems to be getting slightly worse. If you could tell me what it is specifically that caused it for you (I know there can be a lot of causes), and maybe some things that I might try (that aren't extreme, obviously, since we don't know what is causing it) that might help for the next week.

I've been experience this for about 3 weeks now, and it is the worst when I get up in the morning or when I've been sitting for a long period of time.

P.S. I hope I don't have brain cancer.

I doubt you have brain cancer dude, vertigo can come and go for people, though it can be a lifelong thing that just pops up. It's good you have signed up for a doctors visit. I know of a man who has vertigo, but I can't say I know too much of what it does to him, I wish you luck though

It's probably a bad sleeping schedule, not enough exercise, a nutritional deficiency, not enough sunlight, or too much time on the computer without a break.

Fix these things and you will become superhuman.

I usually get them after I tie my laces or otherwise get up suddenly. They're also accompanied by headaches, sometimes severe.
It's nothing more than an annoyance really

Yes sir.
And I'm a doctor.
Have experienced it from both sides of the table, as a patient and as a physician.
You should read about Epley's Maneuver...
Has helped me and my patients countless times, since most of vertigos are due to BPPVs (benign paroxysmal positional vertigo).
