That vertigo can be nasty stuff.

I assume he got it through a concussion?

I was wondering the same thing? I don't remember him taking any hits last week?

“A head injury can cause vertigo months or even years after the initial trauma. This delayed onset can result from changes in the brain or inner ear that evolve over time, including damage to the vestibular system, which is crucial for maintaining balance.May 28, 2024”

Ranging from mild head injuries, concussions to severe traumatic brain injuries (TBI), are a significant concern in both sports and day-to-day activities.

Mine seems to get aggravated by lying in one position too long.

I get vertigo when I drink too much.

 

[Charlie Spencer]

I had it once, triggered by wearing glasses with a new prescription for too long. It sucks and I wouldn't wish it on anyone here.

I managed to get it via COVID back in 2021. It hasn't fully gone away, and triggers when I'm at the top of a staircase.

Yup, ended my working career.

I hope that Alex can make a full recovery most of all just to have a better quality of life. I obviously hope it gets even better with 100 percent recovery that allows him to race again.

He has been banged up a lot the last few years and this only has to add up to more pressure for him and the entire 48 team. The odds are decreasing but I hope still all works out in spite of it all.

 

[Revman]

I hope Alex gets better soon.

I've never had Vertigo. But I had a bad inner ear infection many years ago where everything was spinning, even with my eye closed. I got rid of it after a couple of days thanks to a good doctor and the right medication. I can't imagine having Vertigo where it stays with a person for a long period of time.

I was diagnosed with what is called benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (BPPV).

BPPV happens when tiny canalith particles break loose and fall into the wrong part of the semicircular canals of the inner ear.

Fortunately, a physical therapist was able to relieve the symptoms with a series of movements called the canalith repositioning procedure.

The canalith repositioning procedure moves the particles from the inner ear to a part of the ear where they won't cause vertigo.

The relief was so great that after the procedure, which only took minutes, I gave the therapist a hug.

Oddly enough, I was reading an article about this a few months ago.
