Vertigo At Er Now What?

[rgero311975]

Went to the er today for my sc migrains and the er dr told me that i had vertigo becasue my symptoms are consistent ... Now he gave me vertigo meds and all and siad it was vertigo. I had these same sympotms for about 3 months once a week with migrians but the er dr just sadi it was vertigo like it was a common cold or something.. i have a neuro appontment in about 2 months but this vertigo is getting out of control .. how should i proceed i have a diagonse of it but i know if the paperwork is relating it to my migriasn even though i did say i only get tit when i have one!!

Damn I think I have vertigo too. Sometimes I just can't balance and have to sit it out or go to bed. My ears ring and I have hearing loss and it comes and goes.

I also suffer from something the eye Doc diagnosed as eye migraines or maybe it was vision migraines. I sometimes confuse the sun spots that leave me with very poor vision I would describe as tunnel vision and high sensitivity to sunlight and bright lights so bad that my eyes slam shut and I can't pry open except with fingers and trust me I don't want to do that.

I have not really done anything about this at VA because why add to the list of things that they don't help me with?

The way it hits is almose like being highly intoxicated as the room starts to spin and you get sick at your stomach.

If a person has vestibular nerve problems as well as ear problems it can be real bad.

file your claim using my earlier post, and the copy of the medical record where the doctor said it was from your migraines.

There are several at the BVA site.

http://www.index.va.gov/search/va/va_search.jsp?QT=vertigo+and+secondary+and+migraine&SQ=vt_vetappall_ext&RPP=10&LC=0&PQ=vertigo+secondary+migrtaine&PT=vertigo+and+secondary+and+migrtaine&ET=&UA=Search

Any search of that site if you are looking for spacific search parameters, type this into the search box. Vertigo and secondary and migraine. The and controls the search parameters.

You can also omit results that contain a certain word.

Good hunting.
