Pregnancy and Vertigo

Has anyone else had vertigo whilst pregnant? I'm 46 and first time baby at 14wks and 3 weeks ago I had a head cold which then caused vertigo. I've never had it before and its horrendous, it happens always about 6am and I wake up and then I'm to scared of an episode to go back to sleep. Dr can't give me meds and I'm feeling quite low about it now. I want to enjoy being pregnant but I also want my head back. Anyone any advice? Feeling desperate now.

I’ve had meneiries a form of vertigo for around 20 years. You can have something for it. If I didn’t I couldn’t function. I’m on cyclizine now, before I was pregnant stemitil. You can have either when pregnant.

If your doctor won’t doing anything, ask to see someone else. The younger doctors are better for this sort of thing, sometimes the older ones are bit behind with the times.
