Dizzy turns - BC Trip Negative diagnosed July 2019

Hi ladies! I thought I’d reach out & ask if anyone is going through same thing as me! As I don’t feel I’m getting anywhere at the Doctors even though tests done, bloods, heart monitor & all come back ok!?!?!?  

So I had a bad dizzy turn back in 2021 at work & ambulance called. Nothing for 2 years then from Jan ‘23 to now I have had 7 more. Some worse than others. Going dizzy, vomiting, some taking days to get over. Normally I feel it come on the dizziness & nauseous but one of my recent ones, there was no signs at all & I collapsed at work as I walked down the hallway momentarily blacked out, then started to vomit as usual, this one actually scared me as no sign or symptoms at all. Obviously went to Doctors again, more blood tests, heart monitor- all clear! Still Left with no answers!!!

Doctor ruled out vertigo early on, he mentioned vestibular migraines to which he put me on medication as I was getting headaches through the night which I was weaned off! But I have no headache when the dizzy turns have happened. Now i feel in limbo as I don’t know why I’m having these dizzy turns & left with no answers! 

So wondering if anyone is going through same! Just hard not knowing & when next ones going to happen & with nothing from Doctors 🙏 ☺️

    @TillyBilly can you ask your doctor for a referral for a ct brain scan.

    I had dizzy turns for the first couple of years.  Dizzy and nausea.  I was prescribed Stemetil.  
    Eventually it stopped. 
    No real reason given.  For me, I put it down to the stress and fatigue of diagnosis and treatment. 
    Fatigue was the hardest as I found I had to give in to it!
    Hope yours settles soon
    Take care

    thanks for your response. Vertigo was ruled out. I’ve not been having migraines. But he mentioned vestibular ones as I was getting headaches through night at sleep. Which I also haven’t been getting for a while now but still having the dizzy turns. 😊

    Sounds like my vertigo. I would ask for some tablets just to see if it makes a difference. Sometimes tests don't pick up the obvious. Also, I get migraines and find if I have electrolytes everyday then it stops these from occurring. I used to just make sure I had plenty of water but now have to have the electrolytes as well. These things are such a hassle to navigate. Sending big hugs
