How can you tell the difference between vertigo and Dizzeness or Seizures?
Vertigo and dizziness are the same thing. As for myself I go through absence seizure where I will black out briefly for a minute or less than a minute then will come to once again.
What do you do when you wake up feeling perfectly fine, take your meds and everything and then all the sudden you feel like everything is spinning and you can’t focus on one thing cause everything is spinning
If the medication is causing vertigo I would contact the doctor that prescribed the medication. Having vertigo or being dizzy a lot is a very serious issue and that is something the specialist needs… read more
Yes, Olivia, bryanmartin2 just gave a good explanation. I usually experience it beforehand, but sometimes after, too.
