I have had problems with getting vertigo that lasts 24 hours.
Usually I wake up with it to find when I raise to get out of bed the room starts spinning very rapidly and I can't get out of bed until I sit up slowly. Even then it is difficult to walk due to the spinning sensation in my head and visual spinning of the room.
I have been to ENT doctors and neurologists over this concern.
The ENT says there is a type of vertigo called benign postural vertigo which gets worse when you move from lying to sitting and vice versa. Nothing was found wrong with my ears to indicate an inner ear problem causing this.
My neurologist has done some testing because I do have neuropathy of the feet and some movement/walking difficulties, but found nothing so far that would explain vertigo.
He told me that a build up of stress can cause this and that it is fairly common in people with Aspergers. Due to anxiety issues.
I can tell when I am about to get a round of this as the top of my head gets a heavy/tight feeling. When this feeling leaves so does the vertigo. Twenty-four hours of bed rest is the only thing that I can do.
I wondered if anyone else has this problem? The more stress, the more frequently it happens. Less stress, less often it occurs.
