Mine started after a freaky collapse while I was working out in the gym. Room spun around me for hours. Taken by ambulance to hospital, but they never did figure out what caused it, but my hearing diminished in one ear and tinnitus started.
There are “crystals” in your ear that help you keep your balance and keep the room from spinning. They can get knocked out of place. See an ear doctor. One who knows how to manipulate your noggin to reset the crystals.
that vertigo is usually a symptom of meneire’s disease. its not really a disease but rather some kind of inner ear problem. If you have an inner ear test —they’ll likely find extra fluid in your inner ear. that was the case with me. my case is mild. I had the vertigo incidents twice about four years ago. but after that the vertigo went away. However, I have a hard case of tinnitus and my balance is no longer great like it once was.
