Vertigo is Wherever I Will Go

I started to feel dizzy the moment I got up off bed last Saturday morning.

I still felt intermittent dizziness at work.

Dizziness also occurred when I laid down to sleep.

Today, I am “at a place called Vertigo \ It’s everything I wish I didn’t know \ Except you give me something I can feel \ Feel”. Now I am singing with U2.

“Hello! Hello? Are you still at a place called Vertigo?”

I am still in a dizzy mood, and now I am starting to freak out!

Vertigo, a specific type of dizziness, is a major symptom of a balance disorder.

…Vertigo can also be brought on suddenly through various actions or incidents, such as skull fractures or brain trauma, sudden changes of blood pressure, or as a symptom of motion sickness while sailing, riding amusement rides, airplanes or in a motor vehicle.

Traumatic brain injury (TBI), traumatic injuries to the brain, also called intracranial injury, or simply head injury, occurs when physical trauma causes brain damage.

I am also showing signs of Postconcussion Syndrome:

  2. Sleep Disorder 
  3. Headache 
  4. Dizziness/Vertigo 
  5. Irritability/Aggression

And I am also starting to feel these:

  1. Anxiety 
  2. Depression/Lability 
  3. Personality Changes 
  4. Apathy

I am REALLY scared…
