@brandysparks, I too have had 1 episode of middle-of-the-night vertigo, sudden, severe, barely-staying-conscious, heavy cold sweating…and the ‘bathroom evacuation’. So extreme, but since I felt the vertigo I followed my plan (Zofran then Valium, pillow, blanket on closet floor) and I was fine the next morning. My sweet husband knows the drill now and his calm presence is indeed comforting. Definitely be careful with salt!…and stay close to the floor during an episode. Take care, friend.

@lautwell - Oh my goodness, thank you!
I just got a referral to a neurologist through my current PCP (with whom I'm not so confident of her knowledge, but one thing at a time, you know :-)) ... but the soonest I could get in is Dec. 18 - so hope this is the last of this worst episode.
That drenching cold sweating is (nearly!) a killer it feels like at the time. Thank you so very much for the guidance and sharing. I'm not sure, and I'll look into it, but I guess you need a script for Zofran (for the nausea?), and - like a migraine can be - weird how much light and noise and sudden movement of others or talking can be a strain when this is what you're struggling through.
Be well. And we are thankful for support from our partners! A calm and comforting holiday weekend ahead to you!
