I experienced a severe vertigo with accompanying symptoms of nausea and vomiting while not being able to stand upright and increasing dehydration. This was understandably very debilitating.
At A & E the vomiting was brought under control and thus the risk of further dehydration eliminated and various tests suggested BPPV. A referral was made to the Physiotherapy section of Allied Health.
The interventions received through the physiotherapist there at Allied Health was remarkable in the positive changes they wrought. These changes were further enhanced through the provision of vestibular exercises which could be undertaken at home. Further follow up was provided which enabled additional support and home based exercises.
