I have vertigo bad. This was a huge side effect for me last time, too.

That sucks. I had a tiny bit of vertigo one time but that was because I was high and it was during the Katrina year and I went to a Saints game at LSU and we were ALL the way up there and it's bleachers. Standing for the national anthem was a chore, I kept thinking I was gonna do a tumble roll all the way down to the ground. Now that I think about it it probably wasn't vertigo and I was just super nervous about falling down. It's one or the other.

Vertigo forking sucks. I've had that several times before. The worst case I had, I literally felt like I was dying. I was puking and couldn't walk. Room was spinning. It was awful.

That must be why I have felt nauseous the past few nights since I got this.

Yeah, anytime I get vertigo, nausea is a side effect. Sometimes pounding headaches that meds don't help much with. There's a little pill called antivert that actually worked well for me, but need a prescription to get it.

I also began getting anxiety & panic attacks again last night which I had last time I got COVID as well. I have been reading a bunch of stuff and I think the vertigo & anxiety/panic are all related. Last time around, I got bad panic attacks as I was falling asleep and I think it has a lot to do with the vertigo/head position (no side comments a holes) because I tend to fall asleep quickly so it would make sense that as I lay my head horizontal and the equilibrium is then off that it triggers whatever the hell is going on.

Last time it went on for a few months and then resolved itself. Hopefully it clears up much quicker this time around. It's annoying and disruptive.

I had vertigo both times with covid. That's kinda how I knew I had it the 2nd time.

This part cracked me up haha. I don't think I had anxiety with mine. Not sure exactly what that feels like so maybe I did.

I know how y'all are. Gotta keep my head on swivel.

I remember several people in the long covid thread reported anxiety and panic attacks. If you had it before, you would for sure know what it felt like.
