BPV Syndrome

[Handy Andy]

Has anyone ever had it, and if so how long did it last? I've been struck down with it the last few days and it's hit me hard. Doctor seems to think I've got it pretty bad but that it will probably go away of it's own accord given time. Feels like I'm on a rollercoaster all the time.

I had it once many years ago. It lasted a few days and then went. I stayed in bed and had to crawl to the bathroom. I didn’t dare move a muscle because any movement of my head set it off. It was an awful feeling but it did pass and has not recurred. I have always suffered badly from fairground rides etc making me feel similar and nauseous hence I don’t go on them.

Thanks. Sounds exactly like me. I've had it since early hours of Saturday morning and it's just started to improve last night & today. My Mrs had to bring a bucket into the bedroom for me to pee in for first couple of nights as we have to go down steps to our bathroom and I couldn't manage it safely. Not feeling nauseous today so going in the right direction at last.

Good to hear you are improving. I remember the doctor came out to me. But cannot remember whether anything was prescribed. I think my episode may have been brought on by over tiredness and a very stressful incident in a business I ran at the time.
