I had a mild case of vertigo last night. I started getting a little dizzy as I was writing last night's blog entry and pretty soon I wanted to just throw up. It took a lot of effort just to get downstairs and call my parents up for help (they were away playing mahjong). They got me a few tablets of cinnarizine (reimbursable to HP!) to help fight the nausea. I'm fortunate that I was able to will myself to sleep after an hour of lying down.
I felt better this morning, though I still imagine my world spinning at times. I did a bit of research on vertigo and I think I experienced some benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (BPPV). I found these exercises to help combat the effects of BPPV in case it occurs again.
If you've never experienced vertigo in your life, be thankful. There's nothing pleasant with the experience.
