I get vertigo when I’m just sitting and doing nothing VERY often. Is this a symptom? This started happening within the last year and has gotten progressively worse. It’s frustrating because I do not know what I can do to help the situation. I feel like I was spun in circles too many times and my stomach and head begin to hurt from the spinning. Anyone?

@A MyFibroTeam Member: I just googled and read that vitamin B-12 deficiency can cause dizziness. Have you googled your symptoms, although Dr.'s tell us not to do that, since all kinds of things pop up that's not actually wrong with us? Balance problems are quite common with fibro., but you are having unusual dizziness/balance problems. Maybe you should make an appointment with your Dr., to see what's wrong. Low blood sugar from not eating often enough sometimes causes me to be dizzy. I know that inner ear problems can cause your symptoms too. I hope that you find the cause, and feel better soon, because your symptoms would make a person feel miserable, and it would be dangerous driving, etc. Good luck.
Yes I had Vertigo for a year off and on..it finally went away..there are many different types of vertigo..I had positional vertigo..which is ,we have crystals inside our ear and sometimes they float and touch the part of ear that makes you spin..that is the most common but here are many different reasons...you can spin..it is worth finding out which condition you have that makes you spin...gentle hugs your way
I get that dizziness, as well. Fibro is known to cause dizziness, as are some of the meds we may take. The combo turns out to be very uncomfortable.
This is so crazy! I had no idea about any of this. Loving the info!
i get awful vertigo episodes. thankfully usually they are mild but at my worse I had my husband drive me to the ER cause I was spinning so badly I couldn't even sit up and was throwing up. Idk if its part of Fibro, I am new to all this. I seen my Neuro for 3 years. I take Meclizine daily and also was through vestibular therapy. good luck and hopefully you will find some answers and relief. I may not know much about Fibro but I with vertigo I do know a bit. if it doesn't let up you may need vestibular testing (not always easy to access to) i know as people age (not sure of your age) its often an inner ear issue (crystals in you ears become lose giving false sense of motion) in which case vestibular therapist will do a head positional test and see which cannel is affected (by seeing what type of nystagmus you have) and try to do a head exercise to correct it. Though this cause is less likely if you are younger like i was when mine started.
