[|Human|] I woke up this morning, got up, and had the worst case of vertigo I ve ever had. Couldn t get my balance at all, fell back on the bed, sat up, and within a minute, it was gone. Had a couple of slight feelings of vertigo during the day, took betahistine hydrocholoride and am not quite normal yet. Should I be worried that s it s a symptom of something else?
[|AI|]  Acute onset severe vertigo may be due to many reasons and common are benign paroxysmal positional vertigo(BPPV), acute vestibular neuritis and less commonly posterior circulation stroke.  BPPV is positional, lasting for few seconds associated with nausea or vomiting. Vestibular neuritis is severe vertigo And associated with some viral infection.  Most serious condition is posterior circulation stroke but is usually associated with additional brain stem signs and symptoms. Your case seems to be BPPV most likely if no additional symptoms are present. You need to consult neurologist if symptoms increases or persists. Hope you recover well.
