Hi JK, that’s very interesting re whipping head to one side very quickly. I have been reading & it seems as though vertigo is due to calcium leaking into the wrong location of the inner ear. And certain physical maneuvers + gravity can get that calcium back to where it belongs! I am seeing a specialist soon. Its just very bizarre that this coincided with my ankle surgery! Thanks!

I have a suggestion for all the people here writing about their dizziness and or vertigo. Two words: VESTIBULAR THERAPY. It is like physical therapy but is focused on strengthening the entire balance system. I did it years ago and it saved my life. Most major hospitals offer it now. I also understand that it does not matter the cause or type of dizziness, it can help you.
