I thought I was feeling "dizzy" when I went to see my doc, but it turned out to be vertigo.

Vertigo:

- is "a type of dizziness, resembles the feeling produced by the childhood game of spinning round and round, then suddenly stopping and watching the surroundings spin."

"the perception that surrounding objects are moving or spinning "(objective vertigo).

That wasn't the main complaint that finally got labeled me with vertigo though, it was the sensation I get when I lay down. That is when my vertigo gets worse, and that type is "positional vertigo" (contingent on the placement/movement of my neck).

If it is vertigo (the doc should decipher the difference between vertigo, dizziness, motion sickness, even morning sickness...), there is a good med that is readily available in Canada, but hard (not impossible) to get in the US, called "Serc".

If it's motion sickness (my daughter has that), or even morning sickness, there are these wrist straps you can buy from the pharmacy which work wonders!

If it's dizziness, combined with all the other symptoms you mentioned, you should see the doc to be thoroughly checked over!
