Vertigo!


Couple of days back, i am on my daily evening walk. After walking till Canara bank, i decided to return to office . On my way back to lab, near to IIT Hospital suddenly my head started spinning..world around me started spinning...I lost control on my body....my heart beat got increased....my body became cold..i felt like i am going to vomit...for couple seconds i lost control on my body....i tried to reach near by tree but i failed...i looked for help, but couldn't find any person near by. Every thing happened in few seconds. Slowly i reached a rock and sat on it for some time.


After few minutes i understood that something is happening in my body and slowly i went back to lab. Thanks to Binu (my colleague) for drooping me in my room as i was felling nausea. Next day morning also i observed same symptoms. Immediately i went to Malar Hospital. Thanks to Vijayarangam (my another colleague) for taking me to hospital . After doing some simple tests , doctor confirmed that, I was suffering from Benign paroxysmal positional vertigo :-(. It is a disorder caused by problems in the inner ear. Fortunately , It is not a major problem. Normally, it will go away in 2-3 weeks. Doctor asked me to take medicine for 15 days. I need to be careful for next few weeks. So that is the story.
