Hi Rina,
I had the same thing...I wonder if it is not somehow connected to the drain of Estrogen since we are taking AI's. I had a MRI of my brain and all was clear.
I think it is good to have just for a base line anyhow.
My dr. did say the following, that certain foods will interact...MSG being a big contributor (found in salad dressings) and even on fresh salads to maintian their fresh appeal....even some chemicals found in wine.
This could set off the vertigo...while I was at the BCS last Dec. I know it was from the salad! It was all I had eaten...a large plate of fresh salad with dressing.
Try to determine when you have the attacks, is after a dinner out, a glass of wine?...keep track.
I have been vertigo free for about 9 months now. It is important if you feel it coming on to take the medication
ASAP...much like our nauesa meds, once it gets control,
it is difficult to get out of the spiral.
All good wishes...to you.
Jean
