What Causes Frequent Attacks Of Vertigo?

Hi. I am a 41 yr old female in pretty good health. For the past year and 5 months, or so, I have bill and tired. Does anyone have any answeseen having frequent attacks of vertigo. This is a sensation that comes on while I am asleep or awake, where I loo,se my balance, things spin, I get nautious, sometimes vommit, and my blood pressure drops after an attack. These attacks happen about every four days or so, and last approxamately 20 minutes. I have now seen five doctors, including my gp, two ents, a neurologist, a chiropractor, and an endocrynologist. Mri was fine, eeg was fine, eng was fine, cortisol levels were fine, and it doesnt seem to be positional either. I am currently awaiting results of aldosterone level test. I am feeling quite hopeless as to _finding help or get relief. These attacks leave me feeling ill and tired. Does anyone have any suggestions?

Hi,

As your all tests are normal it could be because of BPPV, i.e. benign paroxysmal positional vertigo.it is very tough to treat it completely as this is because of inner ear disorders. However, taking tab vertin 8 mg thrice a day might help.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
