Vertigo can be a medical emergency. My first episode came out of the blue many years ago. Thru the years, I would instantly get an episode that would render me useless.....going from the whole world spinning, getting boiling hot and sweating to shivering cold in an minute. It would take me days to get over it, many times bedridden. I can fully understand how it could take down a young athlete in the prime of life. Fortunately over the years the episodes have become few and far between.

Well said. That’s been exactly my experience with it as well.

Just for informative purposes, please be aware that it can also be the crystals in the inner ear, which can be reset easily at home. I have had success doing it myself the last few years.

This sounds like Ménière's disease. Which a bigger, more chronic deal than vertigo. I had vertigo for over a month last year. Was awful. Finally got my ear "crystals" right, which took going to an ENT.

I have two good friends with Ménière's disease, and it sounds 100x worse than what I had.

(And yes, thread jacked... Brooks doesn't have Ménière's disease, or simply vertigo)

I'm just curious is it his medical emergency or is it a family medial emergency. Hard to tell the way he says it.
