Vertigo is Wherever I Will Go

April 20, 2008 · 4 Comments

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:

  1. Fatigue
  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…

    Vertigo… yung imiikjot yung paligid mo. Yung dizziness yung ulo mo yung parang umiikot.

    Pero yung nararamdaman mo sa tingin ko ay Orthostatic hypotension yan. Yung biglang pagbaba ng BP pag biglang nagbabago ng position.

    Richmond, hehe ang hirap espelingin kung ang ulo mo yung parang umiikot. I can’t even decipher it with the relativity theory. hehe

    You could also be right with Orthostatic hypotension. I think I need some rest and exercise, as advised by my doctor.
