"I deal with patients on a daily basis and I just didn't know how to handle it myself..." Tiffany talks about her recent diagnosis and how it is slowly affecting her normal life. Have you ever had the illusion that you or your surroundings are moving?

Hi I'm Tiffany I live in Piscataway, New Jersey and I suffer from vertigo.



At least four months ago or so things weren't right, I just felt dizzy at times, light headed. Went to the doctor and he said, all right well try on a few things, had me a few tests; lying down, sitting, standing, did my blood pressure as well and he noticed a change.



Blood pressure elevated once I stood up from the lying position and I started getting very, very dizzy.



When I found out that I was diagnosed with vertigo I was very, very scared. I mean deal with patients on a daily basis and I just didn't know how to handle it myself.



I was also struggling with it at home, couldn't drive. Was on medication for it, which that made me very drowsy.



I have steps in my house, quite a few of them so I have to you know take landing by landing and take my time.



Now it's gotten better. There are days where I have lots of dizzy spells and I have to sit and just take it easy, take a couple breaths and then take my time.
