    Mine ruled out BPPV immediately

    FWIW my episodes start with tinnitus in left ear, and pressure just keeps building until I get a free trip on the tilt-a-whirl ride

    Is it ear, nose or throat related? ENT. Vertigo is inner ear stuff generally if it's not blood pressure related.

    +17 on Epley and seeing a physical therapist. My wife has battled vertigo for nearly 20 years with general doctors not being able to help. I was in PT after I grenaded my knee last year and saw my PT doing the Epley on another patient. Next time I saw the patient I asked if it worked (I was very skeptical). The dude said it really fixed his vertigo. I told the wife about this magic and she went and saw the same PT. Miraculously, it did work. She has to do exercises every now and then but she is 95% better.

    We are way south in C Springs, but if you want to make the drive, I have a PT I would recommend to do the Epley magic.

    I haven't seen a doctor in 29 years, so I'm in really good health apart from not dying this weekend.

    Everybody wants me to use a phone maze or call center in India or some drama.

    I have United for insurance.

    I just want somebody to make this easy.




    No strippers, homeless people with hatchets or nazi midgets were harmed/involved.
    You haven’t seen a doctor in 29 years and you’re in really good health. How do you know?

    I'm gonna agree with this. My wife had tinnitus and vertigo and the GP was not of much use. ENT got her straightened around.

    this I hadn't been to a doctor in 10 or 15 years other than to treat traumatic bodily injury (I'm good at those) because I was REALLY HEALTHY turns out I had one foot in the grave

    no just no was on two meds stopped taking them a few months ago
    meds help but not really you end up taking one pill then another pill to offset what the first pill does
    lots of cholesterol and heart meds make you have to take dick pills
    diet healthy weight and exercise will do the same thing pills do
    unless they are oxy then I'm all over that shit

    It’s not the meds that make you need viagra. A healthy diet only goes so far when it comes to hyperlipidemia, hypertension and heart health. Some people will struggle to keep those things under control even with diet, exercise and healthy weight as they age.

    I need a Doctor in Littleton CO, because I was in the ER.

    if epley doesn’t work you can also try the half somersault maneuver:

    If you need another recommendation, I go to southwest family medicine. Ask for Dr Rouzi

    Chinese nazi midgets?

    I think Al Qaeda and North Korea were involved at well.

    Seriously though ( although my stroke was serious as fk!) you should have the attending Dr from the ER's name, and any specialist you saw on any and all bills. Go to one of them

    Glad to know you're better. October? Isn't that the same time the Dodgers had theirs'?
