Vertigo - any other sufferers?

[godivatrailrider]

From time to time I get a bout of vertigo.
I have not much idea what brings it on... my dad used to get it , my sister does & my daughter does.
My eyes will flicker left & right and frankly I feel sh!t... usually leads to puking and needing to sleep.
My sister was diagnosed with "Benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (BPPV) occurs when the otoconia (crystals) fall off their hair stalk and get trapped in the semicircular canals. This causes any movement of the head to cause vertigo, the sensation of spinning."
I suspect this is exactly what I get....
I've taken a Hyoscine Hydrobromide Boots Travel Calm and a Piriton ... both are potential aids.
Anyone else? Anyone found a cure.?
There is a head movement (the Epley Manoeuvre) you can do but I think it'd need assistance... essentially lie down & rotate the head through a sequence of moves which allow the 'errant crystal' to evacuate the inner ear canal. Not something I'd want to try alone. https://youtu.be/9SLm76jQg3g

I suffer with it on and of, mostly since my surgery, my GP prescribed some Prochlorperazine 5mg tablets to help control it, basically a sea sickness tablet.

Yeah that's what Hyoscine Hydrobromide Boots Travel Calm is...

It is worth a try, the prescription version is supposed to be an industrial strength version, I have only had one incident since, it definitely made a difference, I carry a strip of the tablets in my bag all the time.
