Have had vertigo for probably 20 years. Can even go a couple of years without an attack, then out of the blue it will hit me. I will mention manières symptoms to my doctor next time I have my check-up, or if I have another attack.

Thank you, KT, for your information and I'm glad the surgery was a life saver for you.
