Question by twentytwo_eucalyptus_trees: Vertigo...?
I started having dizziness that is best described as vertigo about three days ago. I woke up with it and had to sit through my exams on that first day with it bothering me. Around nightime, it went away... The second day I also woke up with the vertigo, but it went away in the afternoon and returned early in the evening! Today I woke up without vertigo but it cropped up late in the morning, and now I just feel slightly disoriented...
The vertigo is not severe, but I am disturbed because it comes up for no apparent reason and goes away just as suddenly. It does not seem to be brought about by sudden movements (i.e. getting up, looking down, etc.), and I don't believe it's symptomatic of BPPV. It disturbs my concentration and I still have a few days of exams left...
Anyone with a possible diagnosis? I've heard low blood pressure (but I'm 16 with 112/75...), ear infection(BPPV is unlikely), bad nutrition (unlikely considering I have a good appetite)...
Thanks in advance!

Iron deficency test: Go to the mirror and pull your lower eyelid and see if the color is red or flesh color. If its flesh colored you are lacking enough iron and should take a herbal iron like Floradix. It will take a month to see a difference. Iron carrys oxygen in your blood and if you dont have it you will feel tired, cold hands and feet, headaches, RLS, dull brittle hair, brittle nails, poor sleep, pale skin (see thru), shortness of breath, fatigue, poor concentration, low mood, ringing in the ears, cracks in the corner of the mouth, dizziness, fainting, sore tongue and canker sores oh and pale mucous membranes in lower eyelid.
You may also have an inner ear infection. And a good appetite doesnt mean you have good nutrition because you could be eating junk food.

What Are The Symptoms Of Vertigo?
Article by John Petersone
Symptoms of vertigo are one of the most common reasons for seeking medical attention and advice. Vertigo is said to be the illusion or hallucination of movement, usually a spinning or rotational feeling of either the environment or yourself. If you have every been on a merry go round ride or as a child spun around in circles a lot, then you would know what it is like to experience the feeling of vertigo. Together with this feeling of dizziness, you may also have experienced lightheadedness, unbalanced, a headache and nausea or sickness in your stomach. It is important to understand that dizziness or vertigo is not a disease but often a symptom. Symptoms of vertigo can be caused by a range of conditions from non-serious conditions to more serious conditions like vascular and neurological causes.
Vertigo or dizziness is experienced when there is a problem with our equilibrium. Inside our inner ear are semicircular canals filled with fluid. Inside the canals are tiny hairs that are receptors and detect the movement of our head. This information is then sent to our brain so we know about our movements. Armed with this understanding of how equilibrium works we will now review the most three common forms of vertigo that are benign positional vertigo, labyrinthitis and Menieres disease.
Meniere's disease is a severe form of vertigo. Due to the fact that many sufferers may not seek medical help, there may be more people with the disorder than we know about. The cause behind this vertigo is an increase in the amount of fluid that is in the semicircular canals. Together with severe vertigo that can last hours to days, people will often experience ringing in their ears, fullness or pain in their ears, sickness in the stomach or vomiting. Medication is used to manage the condition because there is currently no cure for it.
When a part of the semicircular canals called the labyrinth becomes inflamed it is termed labyrinthitis. This is usually caused by a virus of some type and will not respond to antibiotics. The inflammation will result in the fluid becoming thicker and therefore disrupts the signals of our balance. People will experience vertigo together with potential headaches and sickness in the stomach with a general feeling of being off balance. Vertigo of this cause is short in duration and usually occurs for seconds to minutes.
The number one cause of vertigo is called benign positional vertigo or bppv. This is caused by debris in the semicircular canals that affect the hair receptors and result in misinformation being sent to the brain about our movement. This disorder is triggered by specific head movements such as rolling over in bed, looking up or bending forwards. The vertigo feelings are short in duration and only last for seconds. Luckily there are some safe solutions to this problem without the use of drugs or surgery.
Our balance is often taken for granted, until it is lost. Symptoms of vertigo or dizziness can be the result of many things. Listed above are 3 very common causes of vertigo, with the problem of bppv or benign positional vertigo having a safe solution available.
