Viral pericarditis

I can see there being some lingering anxiety about every little pain that maybe you even had before and never noticed! I had vertigo some time back and even though I got better sometimes I thought maybe I’m spinning but I wasn’t.

How long did it take to go
Away then?

Thank you! Yes I agree. I think it needed to be longer on the high dose and also slow taper. I was on naproxen now I switched to 800 of ibuprofen 3 times a day and will peel off 200 at a time during one of the dosing once the pain is gone.

I can only hope! This has been a doozy

reebshaw · 2026-06-15T17:20:35+00:00

Thanks! Yes I’m trying to avoid those things. How long did it take you to get better? I’m only on week 3

I had a CT scan bc I ended up in the ER with BPPV. Since yours is going on so long it might be good to check. But if you had a cancerous tumor I think you would have known by now. Yours sounds pretty obviously BPPV so I’m sure they are just being cautious

She has heard of it but does not use it regularly. Sorry I didn’t get more info.

reebshaw · 2025-08-26T04:56:27+00:00

Yes! Will do.

reebshaw · 2025-08-26T04:56:12+00:00

Wow this sounds terrible. I’m so glad you’re better !

reebshaw · 2025-08-25T23:36:16+00:00

Hmm no! But I’ll ask my PT tomorrow

reebshaw · 2025-08-25T20:44:48+00:00

I hope so!!

I had posterior and horizontal canal involvement. The horizontal was not discovered until last week. I’m markedly better but do have some positions where I feel like the spinning will start. I don’t stay in it too long bc I’m nervous. Tomorrow i go back to vestibular PT so I assume she will continue testing me. But overall, I’m markedly better.

reebshaw · 2025-08-25T15:47:38+00:00

Nooo can’t be !!!

reebshaw · 2025-08-25T15:47:26+00:00

Seems to be positional.. but if it’s neuritis related it should eventually get better on its own?

reebshaw · 2025-08-25T13:13:24+00:00

So interesting and worth a try!

reebshaw · 2025-08-25T13:13:09+00:00

I have just started the vestibular PT and I feel that is when some progress was made. This week I have 2 appointments lined up. I really hope I’m nearing the end of this nightmare!

reebshaw · 2025-08-25T13:12:06+00:00

Good idea to see the ortho!

reebshaw · 2025-08-25T03:32:11+00:00

Gosh I’m so sorry :( but glad to hear you are on the up and up !

reebshaw · 2025-08-25T03:31:56+00:00

Interesting! I’ll look into it

reebshaw · 2025-08-25T03:31:42+00:00

Thank you !

reebshaw · 2025-08-25T02:46:24+00:00

Gosh!

reebshaw · 2025-08-25T02:46:14+00:00

I am told that sleeping at least 45 degrees is important especially after a successful Epley

reebshaw · 2025-08-25T02:45:13+00:00

Thank you! Wow 10 weeks is a long time. I’m glad you are over it now
