Weird virus?

[Starrrz]

Hello all!

so i wokr up this morning feeling super dizzy! The room was spinning , i stayed in bed for a little longer as my DP was home from work as hes been ill.

my throat is sore, head pressure and just feels weird.

does anyone feel super dizzy with a virus?

thankyou :)

Covid?

DH feeling like this - he's tested positive for Covid.

Hope you feel better soon

Labyrinthitis? Literally a virus that makes you dizzy

I developed labyrinthitis shortly after having COVID, so could be that?

So ive had covid 4 times which has left me
with pots, facial pain , joint pain etc.

this dizzyness was different to my normal dizzyness.

i tested for covid today and it was negative. Had an OP last week and really didnt want to catch anything. Hope i go back to normal xx

@MarilynBoo did it ease again? If so how long ? Xx

It took about 3 to 4 weeks for the labyrinthitis to go. I was getting a very weird dizzy sensation when turning my head at certain angles, looking upwards and when laying down. Then I woke up one day and it was gone! Symptoms started about a week after recovering from COVID. I've had labyrinthitis before, years before COVID, so it might be that I'm susceptible to it following a virus. By the way, I tested negative for COVID for 3 days before testing positive. I hope your dizziness isn't too bad and you recover soon 💐

My covid started with a sore throat and so did my husband's.

@MarilynBoo thankyou very much!! I hope it eases too! Ill test again Wednesday. Luckily im off sick due to having surgery. But really hoping ill feel better. My poor little girl has been stuck in nearly all week :( now again cause im ill xx

Pregnancy!! I had these symptoms super early. She's now in her late 20s!

@whatsthatinyourhand well i had endometriosis operation so definitely not pregnant. Wish i was !! But it does feel similar to preganncy! Xx

Vertigo? I get BPPV and it feels much as you've described

@LateMumma yes it does sound like that. Do u think it will ease? Or does it stay? I always get dizzyness due to my pots but its a different type. X

There's something called an Epley (I think)) manoeuvre that trained GPS can do. It's like magic, but check first that your GP can do it. You can also do Brandt Daroff exercises which mimic this, not as effective for me, but they do help. It can last anything from a day to weeks without treatment, and comes on with no warning. The good news though is that it can be helped with the above. Hope you get it sorted soon

I feel like this at the moment.
I have raging earache, so I'm assuming that's what is throwing me off balance.
I struggled to walk in a straight line today.

@Lucyintheskywithlove oo no :( hope your ok! Any other symptoms?

it sucks doesnt it xx
