Extreme Vertigo after a Ocean fishing trip

Extreme Vertigo after a Ocean fishing trip

I have Fibromyalgia, MPS, and Migraines 2 days ago we took a deep sea fishing trip now I have such bad vertigo the I am staggering around like I'm drunk . Is this a common reaction? I already have vertigo but nothing like this.

Hi,

Hope you are feeling better.
You are suffering from sea sickness which is characterized by a feeling of nausea and in very severe cases vertigo after spending some time on the sea craft.
OTC prescription medicines like Dramamine and Scopolamine help. Apart from these ginger capsules and wearing special wrist bands also help in managing this condition.

Hope this helps.

There is a procedure called the Eppley Maneuver that is used to alleviate vertigo caused by inner ear particles that have moved out of position.
But you need a physician who can diagnose the vertigo.
See this article for some information.

(If the url is removed, you can google for title and author, or Eppley maneuver.)

Also, if you google for migraine, magnesium, you'll find information that may help the migraines.

Wishing you the best,
Carol
