Good morning,
I have a question....This morning while I was stretching my neck made quite a loud popping sound and now I am so dizzy I can hardly walk, I am nauseous, and I have the sweats happening. I'm not sure what to do, phone the chiropractor or my Dr.

Yikes is right! You should probably go to the hospital right away.

Hi,
I usually don't have insurance. So I wait to see if I am better not moving. This inner ear thing causes me to have vertigo most days, which causes me to be sick otmy stomach.
but when in doubt, get medical attention.
Your friend,

Hi Lon - I had vertigo for almost a year every day when I would lay down and sit up. the http://www.tchain.com/otoneurology/disorders/bppv/bppv.html

My ear/nose/throat office did the epley manuever for me and I couldn't believe how smooth - not forcefull it was. I really believe my husband could do this for me if the vertigo gets bad again. But you could always ask your doctor about it and they might be able to help you too...just a thought. Sue!

Yeah I definately think you should call your doctor and ask them. They will probably say go to the emergency room but you know how you feel best and might be able to just show up at his office. I usually just show up if I think it's something important. Hard for them to say we don't have any openings to your face. Then theres always the I'm willing to wait if they say they might be able to fit you in between patients...Sue!

Oh Girl,

Of course I don't know, but sounds like you could have done something.

If it won't cost much please go to the Dr. or I am sure better the Chiro, he will help you.

Get check out, you should'nt have to suffer like this.

Hugs,

Lisa

Thanks molly, I am feeling a little better. Still dizzy if I move to fast, but much more manageable than earlier.

Thanks Lon,
Luckily we do have insurance so that isn't a problem, thank goodness. I am feeling a little better, not quite as dizzy or sick to my stomach. My dr is having walk in clinic hours this afternoon so I will see if my Mom can come and take me. Might not be the safest for me to drive right now.

Thanks for your response. I will send you a pm update soon.

Hi Sue,
I called my Dr.s office and she is having walk in clinic service at her office this afternoon so I am going to see if my mom can come and pick me up and take me. I'm not too sure it would be a good idea for me to drive right now. I can't really see too straight.

Thanks a lot,
Jill

Thanks Lisa,
I am going to phone my mom and see if she will take me to my Dr.s this afternoon. I phoned the GP's office and she is doing a walk in clinic in her office this afternoon so hopefully that will work out. I am feeling a little better, but I don't think I should drive on my own right now.

Thanks Lisa.

I will send you a pm soon.
