Hello, Ahall. I thought I felt better already, yesterday, my lightheaded is not as bad as the other day's but then, it started raining again last night and today, now, I am lightheaded, my sinus headache is back, my ear hurts, I am positive it is allergy related because, I had allergy for molds. It is easier for the doctor to diagnose as vertigo, because they don't know what to say I guess, the antivert (Meclizine) is prescribed as needed only, but when the spinning started, and you take the antivert medicine, it doesn't work for me anymore, the spinning still last 6 hrs to me. I had so many attacks, I kept a diary, what time it happen and the weather, the symptoms. I tried to take it every 8 hrs but one time the attack came in 6 hrs later after I took the myclezine, so I thought the medicine is not working. I called the pharmacist and I was told for vertigo, 100 mg in a 24 hr period, so you need to take it every 6 hrs for 25 mg. So far, the last spinning I had was May 6, I started taking it every 6 hrs since the 7th of May, so far, thank God, I didn't have the severe attack yet, lightheaded, but at least it is not the spinning. I will go back and see my ENT doctor on June 2. I used to sneeze a lot, but since January, when the dry sinus congestion started, I can't sneeze, that's probably the reason for the vertigo. I don't know, doctor's don't seem to know everything. We have to do research ourselves. Do you sneeze AHALL?
