dizziness solved!

I was talking to my cousin this morning and told her about DH's dizziness and vomiting.

She said it sounded like the rocks in his ear had moved. I said he has had dizziness a couple of times over the years, so I would have him do the exercise the family doctor had him do some 15 years ago.  It is his right ear! 

He thinks he is going to fall off of the bed, even though he is stretched out in the middle with his head hanging slightly over the edge.  He became so stressed, we stopped after I figured out  it was not his left ear.  I'll try again later once he has calmed down.

    You might want to check with his PCP to see if they will do in home PT for this.

    My mother went thru 10 PT sessions for the dizziness issue...positional vertigo.
