Vertigo?

« on: September 10, 2011, 08:55:19 PM »

So since I started perotineal dialysis, I've been getting bouts of Vertigo. At times it's incapacitating. Any one else experienced this?

Are you sure it's vertigo? Sometimes my blood pressure drops and I get similar symptoms. But I am on PD and no I don't seem to have vertigo. What does ypur doc say?

My BP is normal usually 135/80-90, and I'm on PD too. The doctor has said nothing to me about, I asked him and he doesn't think it's from the dialysis. I was just curious if anyone else had similar issues, or if I'm just prone to vertigo? My mother gets it around this time of year as well.

You may want to visit your primary care. I had this problem and it was impacted earwax which your primary care will clean out if this is the case.
