Im 27 yrs old. I had my son 7yrs ago. I had him natural with an epidural. The epidural wore off and I really should have had a c-section because he didnt fit and I was literally delirious from pushing. The following week after having him I had a terrible headache. The drs gave me 800mg ibuprofen to help. It didnt really help. I know I wasnt supposed to take asprin after having a baby but I did anyways. It took me taking an excedrin to make my headache go away. Well I guess it took about 2yrs before I really noticed something about myself.
I started noticing I had lower back pain. Then I started getting that with pain at the base of my head. Then came the dizziness with it. At first I just shrugged it off as lightheadedness when I would get up or something Id get dizzy. The longer I go the worse its getting. Its been 5yrs since I noticed this and now its gotten to be almost a daily problem with me. The dizziness comes with pressure behind my eyes(sometimes so bad it feels my eyes will pop out), I can hear my heartbeat in my ears and sometimes slight hearing loss, extreme diziness. I have had moments where my vision would go balck. A few weeks ago I went about 5 minute with halos in my vision. I have stood up to walk to the kitchen and have to hurry to the counter to hold myself up because I feel faint or like my legs are about to give out. I have metioned a bit to the dr but it for one wasnt my normal dr because mine was out and he just mentioned it might be vertigo. I dont think thats what it is and I want an idea of something that would cause this. Its not a constant thing but witht he back/neck pain is always something else with it. None of the others things happen unless i have the back/neck pain. Sometimes I can take a few ibuprofen before the back/neck pain gets too bad and stop it before it starts then there are days that I wake up like this.
I was just wondering if theres anyone else with these problems.
Thanks.

I have a friend who hurt himself while riding motorcycles, then after a few months he had lower back pains, then Vertigo hit him.

He was a pilot in KC-135s at that time and he was grounded immediately. This was almost 24 years ago. He demanded to be released from the military and that was the last time I saw him. I went back overseas and we never heard from him again.

Sorry, not sure that helped medically, but he had severe trauma to his lower back (motorcycle bounced him over the handlebars and he landed with a basketball sized rock in his lower back) and then got the Vertigo. We all figured he had messed up his CNS in some way, but the medical world wasn't up to fixing it then.

I hope they are now. If I had Vertigo, I would be afraid to drive. Hopefully you can feel these "attacks" in enough time to park your car or sit down at home, etc.

I can email some of my flying buddies from those days if you want, most are flying for the airlines, so I don't know if they would have kept up with him.

Good Luck with it.
