Vertigo and after effects

Rate this question


Bluslim

Question

I was wondering and had heard this at times. If you are diagnosed with vertigo, does the doctor notify the state and will it affect your driving. I know they don't for Menieres and that is worse then vertigo. 
But I was wondering for those who had vertigo, if that had ever occurred. I have it, but it may not be worth losing my driving privileges. Thanks for any advice

Okay thanks for answers, but I( may have left some stuff out. My apologies, I have not ever lost consciousness, nor has vertigo ever occurred when I drive. It's mainly at night. Never happens during day. Its occasional too, its not a daily or even a weekly occurrence thing. Thanks I appreciate the answers.

Normally if you tell a Dr that you loses consciousness,  they don't won't you to be driving   rather or not you lose consciousness at night  you could still lose it during the day time driving..its a dangerous condition you have.

I think this went off topic because someone said they lost consciousness but that was not the person asking the question. To answer your question i have a vestibular disorder and I get vertigo. Its pretty darn bad vertigo as well but I did not lose my license nor do i think I would have an issue pulling to side of the road safely if it were to come on when driving.  I usually get it while turning quickly after spending to much time on the computer looking at excel programs and such. Yours sounds like PPV vertigo because i never got mine at night in bed. Everyone has different issues but it is your responsibility to keep yourself and others safe. I'm not a doctor and i don't know your history or your state rules but its an obvious thing if you can drive or not drive. Not just because a doctor say so. Good luck and I hope you clear up the vertigo with vestibular exercises.
