Bit of a Scare After Eye Doctor Visit

I actually called the retinal specialist 2 hours after my visit, tests, etc., this morning. I left a message with them, thinking it was tied to the jostling and stuff during the tests. At home, I started to lie down on the couch for a bit and suddenly it seemed my eyes were either jumping or whirling or I was dizzy - I couldn't pinpoint any one feeling.

I slowly raised up, it subsided a tad, I sat for about 3 minutes, then decided if I needed to get emergency help, I ought to at least visit the bathroom quickly. I carefully made my way back there, and it subsided more and more. By the time I got there, it was just very light, and in another minute or two, it was gone. 

Then after I sat there waiting for a call back, I remembered that Vertigo episode I had back in December 2017. After you folks gave me feedback, I realized that was BPPV - Benign Proximal Positional Vertigo and I had triggered it the day before trying to wrestle and move a tall heavy metal cabinet filled with linens.

Today, I remembered I had been in the shed yesterday afternoon and had lifted and toted that heavy heavy carton with the wet/dry vac out for someone who was dropping by to get it.

I called back and cancelled the worried call to the specialist. So, I figure that, since I'm no longer 39, I should grow some wisdom and just not move my head quickly from here on in.

Of course if something happens and it cannot be tied to an event of heavy lifting, etc., in the previous 24 hrs., I would go right in to an ER and have it checked.

But it did go away and I'm just fine. I even drove over for my mail and also dropped some patterns I copied for a friend to their home on another street. I'll be careful tonight when lying down and when getting up. That seems to be when the fun begins.

Hopefully, I won't need a third whack on the head from my Creator to make me be more careful lifting/toting these days, and when rising or lying down.

Rolling along...
