drscottAnd I'm not referring to the classic bubblegum hit by Tommy Roe.
For the last five years at least, I've had regular bouts of dizziness, usually after a cold or upper respiratory illness. The doctors haven't found anything, so it's presumed to be inflammation of the nerves of the inner ear (vestibular mechanism), possibly due to a chronic viral infection. Since I started sneezing in the car on the way back from the gym yesterday, it's been a problem -- particularly when I walk or stoop to pick something up. I now stagger down the hall touching the side wall for guidance. It makes it more difficult than ever to concentrate.
Usually this clears up in a few days or a few weeks.
