Dr Panwar:
1) For both episodes, I would say it was an hour when the vertigo started and I got back to my apartment and layed down in bed. Once I closed my eyes I was able to fall asleep and was ok when I woke up.
2) I think it is aggrivated by a neck issue. I have an area in my upper back/neck which has been giving me problems for last couple of weeks.
3) I do have excessive ear wax and have had tinnitus for a while. Increasing in the last year. Had a hearing test a little over two years ago and was tested better than average. No double vision or facila deviation
As additional history, have always had tight muscles. Am overweight (256lbs) have been going to a nutritionist for last 3 months and have begun exercising for last 3 weeks. Have been maintining heart beat at 130 bpm on cross trainer for 1 hou. Did walk / run with heart beat peaking at 156 but averaging 130 for the hour.r
