I recently had a violent vertigo attack while rolling over in bed. It felt like my bed was a ship on the ocean in a storm. When the rocking subsided, I opened my eyes and the items in my bedroom were panning back and forth in my vision. Next day I had to staying bed because I was so nauseated. Used AI to get some possible diagnoses, and vestibular vertigo seemed to fit the bill. AI then recommended I see a vestibular physical therapist to do an exam and then the maneuver, if appropriate. ChatGPT even found someone nearby that I was able to get into quickly. Turns out, I did not have posterior vertigo but “horizontal” vertigo, which is in a different part of the canal so Epley maneuver would not have worked. He performed a different maneuver which has helped me greatly.

I am still not 100% as this can linger for 2-4 weeks and I am following up with my cardiologist to rule out life threatening possibilities.

Best wishes,
Cindy
