Terrifying. My doctor was very calm ........ momentary whatever mumble blood pressure mumble jargon take one of these if it happens again.
Not nice at all the old vertigo (
pace Hitchcock
NOT a fear of heights). Had the first instance just over a year ago - fell over in the street - fortunately quite close to the village Doctors' Surgery!
Despite throwing medical insurance at it, with brain scans etc - nothing found, so expensive (but not to me!) consultants said "probably a virus infection of the inner ear - it'll go away". (Which I understand to be docspeak for "haven't a f'ing clue mate"). Happened 3 or 4 times since, but I can now see it coming - it's the "seasickness" following it that's most annoying though.
But I've "hung up my Gosport tubes" for a while, perhaps for keeps..... :-(
How's THAT for thread drift!!
