(Helpful Tip) Vestibular Neuritis

My mom was hospitalized for a week last monthㅜㅜ

You mentioned feeling a bit nauseous and having a headache, but since you've experienced benign paroxysmal positional vertigo a few times before, you thought that might be the cause.

I was given medication for benign paroxysmal positional vertigo even when I went to the hospital.

But that day, you woke up early in the morning and kept vomiting repeatedly.

I live with my older brother, and when my mom went to the bathroom, she didn't come out for a long time, so I went to check. She was found to be collapsed.

They woke up for a snack and headed to the emergency room.

I didn't even have the energy to call an ambulance..

You vomited for an hour even after going to the emergency room, but they said they couldn't do anything there and told you to go to a larger hospital.

It's a rural area, so the emergency room is at a medical center, and the nearest larger hospital is about 20 minutes away at a slightly bigger medical center.

Still, because there is a specialist there, they headed to that place at 5 a.m.

The key is to stop vomiting, so I kept receiving IV fluids with medication to stop vomiting, but the vomiting didn't stop.ㅜㅜ

You vomited for three days even after being admitted in the morning...

Three times in three days is difficult...

Meanwhile, the tests continue to proceed.

First, we need to conduct tests to identify the cause.

Get an MRI, an upper GI test, and basic blood and urine tests.

The diagnosis is vestibular neuritis.

It is a disease where inflammation occurs in the vestibular organ, which detects body balance in the inner ear, causing dizziness and vomiting.

Since it's a disease that the whole family hears about, I looked into it diligently.

Also, the teacher only explained to my son, so I was feeling frustrated because I didn't understand.

After discharge, I went to a hospital in Seoul for another examination. The diagnosis was the same.

Listening to the diagnosis and enthusiastically explaining it is my daughter's part.. haha

My sons are not very delicate.

The only medication is stomach medicine.

There is no special treatment.

I have poor digestion and headaches due to decreased function.

To the mother who asked whether her two sons should stop taking medication because their stomach function is declining, I told her to give them the medication. It was also prescribed by the hospital, and I thought it would help ease her worries, so I advised her to have them continue taking it.

Since it was painful and difficult, you seem a little worried about not digesting well and feeling uncomfortable in your stomach.

Wouldn't it be better to eat and feel at ease during the day?

Now, I am eating well and have returned to my daily routine.

They say they have no headache or discomfort.

Vestibular neuritis is a rare condition that rarely recurs, so it's more reassuring.

Because my mother is elderly, the whole family was very surprised.

Since then, I have been calling to check on you every day...
