I haven't had a serious episode of vertigo, inability to stand or walk for a number of years. The last episode I had was after a breakfast in a restaurant that included salty bacon and had to have someone take me home. I watch my salt intake continuously and sometimes if I feel like a lightheadedness or nausea coming on, I will take a HCTZ and meclizine. When I first had episodes it would take a week or more to get completely over it. I very religiously minimize my salt intake.

@raym . Meclizine(antivert) really helped me initially. I understand there are some negative side effects with this medication, but if it works, it should be considered. A low-salt diet ultimately reduced my episodes of dizziness/nausea, but the salt reduction is not a cure. It's simply an expedient way to reduce symptoms. I limited or eliminated three suspected causes: oats, corn and wheat and I believe that helped. Tracking one's diet, like-style, etc., is an excellent way to find your triggers. Hope some day, an answer will be found, for I am left with hearing loss, tinnitus, ear discomfort, etc., some of which most assuredly are the result of Menieres.
