Is the normal in any way or should I call a doctor. She looks like a tree waving in the wind when she moves her head or her body. Looking for answers, please help!! Coleman

CH-HELL Ex Member	Re: clusters and vertigo Reply #1 - Feb 16^th, 2009 at 8:25pm Hi Cole, With the headaches and her having the cold/croop that would probably do it, I had the flu recently and had extreme vertigo, try to get her to sit down so she doesn't fall. Keep an eye on her if it gets worse then a doctor maybe in order. Phil

Being outside in the cold air helps as well as focusing on a task. It sucks.

I looked like a drunken sailor when I went into the doctor for it. Yep, I think your wife should see a doctor. IMHO (which in my universe is correct) Hope she's better soon. PFDAN y'all kathy

I've been suffering on and off - currently on quite a bit - with what my neuro calls Benign Paroxysmal Positional Vertigo. He hasn't indicated that it necessarily has anything to do with my CHs, but you never know I suppose. Anyway, with luck this is all that's troubling your wife. It's annoying but not especially serious, and there are exercises she can do to ameliorate it. If her doctor can't help just try googling the name - I found some of the exercises online.

Please keep us posted.

Worst part is when you turn over in bed and fall off a cliff. Mine went of it's own accord. I hope you get past Chs and the vertigo soon. Best wishes, Ellick

My ch started out this way with 4 months of solid vertigo. My dr ordered an MRI to rule out any brain abnormalities. Any change in a ha is a concern and should be addressed.
