So about three weeks ago I had a tiny dizzy spell late one night while just sitting at the computer. My vision started to spin and my balance was thrown off, telling me to fall to the left. It only lasted about a minute and after laying down things started to return to normal. I've had little attacks like this before but normally just quick ten second bouts (Not regularly, the last time I had something like this happen was almost two years ago.). It was a little concerning how long this one lasted but I didn't feel off or bad after so I didn't think anything of it.

Two days later while at work I was stocking the shelves and I felt my vision disconnect again and start to spin up. Balance left me quicker and at first I just leaned against the shelving until a coworker came by. I asked him to just stick with me for a bit that it should only last about a minute. A minute came and went and the spinning got worse an I told him to help me down to the floor so I could lay down and by that time management had come over because some customers had gone and told them. I ended up being taken to the hospital and they ran a handful of tests on me but couldnt find anything physically wrong with me so they diagnosed me with vertigo and discharged me. The world was still spinning 7 hours later but it had slowed down enough that I was able to walk around, got picked up by family from the hospital.

Since then I've had a handful of dr visits, been prescribed a few things and have had a few tests run as we narrow down if best case this was a one event (apparently calcium builds up in your inner ear over a lifetime and can sometime degrade to a point that when it breaks off finally it throws you off balance until your inner ear adjusts to the change.) or perhaps its something I have to live with from the here on out. I haven't had another vertigo event but I have experienced that it feels like my balance has been severely thrown off (leaning over to pick up things, especially if I move to quick give me a case of the "oof") and somedays I have a feeling like I'm balancing a bowl of water inside my head. Its gotten better and less severe since it first happened but I still dont feel 100%.

Sorry for being so quiet on social fronts, I've been trying to distract myself from juggling all the fun that comes with having to sort out medical financial issues as well as adjusting to what may be a new normal. I just wanted to drop this here and let anyone who still peeks at my page know whats up.
