Occasionally i get dizzy. I do suffer from low blood pressure so not sure if it's MS related or the blood pressure which does cause this. Maybe get your blood pressure checked?

I do occasionally have this symptom. I just have to sit quietly for as long as it takes

Hi ladymary 🤗 I've had this symptom a couple of times. My 1st time was what got me the clinically definite diagnosis back in 2015. I was a student nurse, and thankfully I wasn't on placement at that time, just classroom learning. I think if you can safely (but unsteadily) walk around your house, and same for if you need to go out, you'll be fine. It'll pass. May take a week or a month, but it'll pass. Possibly contact your general practitioner (UK term for everyday doctors) and ask for some prednisolone. You're likely to get 5mg tablets, but if you take one or 2 tablets in the morning as you have breakfast, that'll help a lot. 🫂❤️

I also get vertigo. Had this before my ms diagnosis. They gave me the epley ( hope i spelt that correctly). Its does help and you do these exercises at home. You can see these on youtube. Makes you feel ill at the time but does help. Also do see your doctor as everyone said you can get tablets to help and stop the sick feeling.

Sitting is bad for everyone especially if you have an illness like MS. Keep moving either with a stick or holding onto a chair. I've had MS 43yrs still walk be it with a cane at 67yr. I know it can be difficult at times. My motto is I have MS. MS doesnt have me.

Hi everyone,
Recently I have been getting dizzy spells and bouts of vertigo. Do you also have this MS symptom? What do you do? All I have done is just take a sit, but it's getting to be more frequent and I'm hoping to find some other ways of coping.
