Now I feel better, knowing that some of you have experienced vertigo. I have no idea what the name of my condition but I did get tested by an ear, throat, etc. specialist and wasn't recommended any exercises.

But I have been told by 2 different family doctors in past 10 years, that since I have low pressure, I should refrain from getting up quickly from a lying down position... About 15 years ago, I nearly fainted in the bathroom at home, after I got up from bed to use the bathroom.

I had 2 scary incidents of sudden dizziness 3 years ago. Where lst time, I was cycling (thankfully slowly) but had to dismount and walk for 15 min., due to sudden onset of dizziness.

About 3 months after lst incident, 2nd time, I was sitting quietly at computer at home. Then suddenly the room spun around me..I could not open my eyes and could not even crawl to the living rm. My partner had to carry me to the living rm. couch. And so I laid there for whole afternoon, eyes closed. Each time I opened eyes, the rm. spun and got nauseous.

Needless to say I missed an art class...and missed cycling to there.

What are these exercises like anyway?
