Vertigo Returns :(

So as the title says, my vertigo has returned. :(  It started yesterday morning when I got a bit dizzy.  I took some of the medication my doctor prescribed for vertigo, and things seemed to clear up and I was fine for the rest of the day. But then this morning, it struck again, and much worse than yesterday. :(

I've taken some medication again, and did the Epley maneuver (that made me throw up afterwards, but I did start feeling better after I did it), so I am feeling a bit better now. I was planning on doing the maneuver again tonight before bed, but someone pointed out to me that maybe when I threw up this afternoon, I also threw up the medication. Since I took more medication a little bit ago, I'm going to hold off on the maneuver tonight and maybe do it again in the morning before taking any more medication, depending on how I'm feeling.

But since vertigo has happened a few times now, I'm kind of thinking that I may be prone to it popping up from time to time. So I wanted to document some of the things that have been going on so I can maybe identify some triggers in the future to help me avoid another flare up.

1. Lack of sleep. Over the last several days, there have been roofing guys working on the house. I haven't gotten as much sleep as I need. While I can normally handle a day or two without enough sleep, maybe several days is a trigger?
2. Sleeping exclusively on my bad ear. I'm a side sleeper. Normally I shift from side to side, but a few weekends ago I hurt my shoulder (I slipped in some mud and fell hard on my side). It's been painful to sleep on that side, so I've had to sleep on the other one.  That side just happens to be the ear that is prone to vertigo issues. Maybe that's a trigger?
3. Dehydration. I was a bit dehydrated (I hadn't had enough water the night before) on the morning when I first got dizzy. I don't think that was the trigger on its own, but maybe combined with some of the other things it was?

These are the major things I can think of. Though on top of these things, I'm also grieving, which definitely isn't helping things.

So hopefully this bout will be over soon. I'm going to try to get some proper sleep and hope that I wake up feeling better!
