I've been having some quick dizzy/vertigo type spells that just hit quick and fade away but kind of makes me stop and wonder what is causing that!

I did take my BP at a store machine the other day and the chart indicated possible pre hypertension.

But at dr appt today it was fine, she said the store ones run high quite often.. plus I was pushing the grocery cart and walking fast right before testing on the store machine.

The dr & her nurse both mentioned that spells like that can be caused by allergies - I had never heard of that.
i have mild chronic sinus allergies/hay fever type stuff - never really took any meds for it.
She rx'd a new nasal spray {gave me a coupon for a free 1st one}, recommended an OTC allergy tab and a decongestant - said to try these for 2 weeks to see if the spells and nasal drainage stop.
Also did some blood work so I'll get the results of that in a week or so.

jo, have you used a neti pot to clear out your sinuses?

lil'monkey was having the same thing happen. it was like she wasn't getting enough oxygen when allergies hit.

i know i posted about this before, but we were shocked at what came out!

oh I totally forgot about that

you want me to remind you what came out of her nose?

nnnooooo thanks...

Got pics?

Yep. If you get stuffed up enough, you can get it from the allergies.

I've had bad allergies all my life. was on allergy shots from 4 -14 until I had an allergic reaction. Yep, even allergic to the shots - LOL!!

It can also be caused by the sinus pressure getting into the inner ear. Balance goes out the window! Double fun when you already have balance issues caused by other stuff. This is why I have to take decongestants. To avoid the dizzyness and to keep from getting infections that happen when my sinuses get too dry.

Dizziness and vertigo can be caused by inner ear infections which can resolve itself within 2 weeks. Also, it could be caused by exposure to chemicals. Pay close attention to where you are and what you are doing whenever you feel these symptoms. Look for a common link.

Just an update, the dizzy spells must have been from allergy/hay fever issues after all.
After using the steroid nasal spray the spells stopped quite soon and my chronic stuffiness cleared up too.
I also didn't snore as much at night

Okay Curious

I need a idea how this nedi pot works.

I can't remember. No I don't want to know what comes out of
the nose.

I am needing to get my problems straightened out.
