Vertigo is now Migraines?

Hadn’t had a spell of vertigo in quite some time.

A week or so ago I went to bed with something that felt like vertigo, but woke up with something I think is more like a migraine.

Luckily it was only serious for a day. After that it resembled more of a head cold or light vertigo.

Yesterday I woke up with the same feeling. Less vertigo, more migraine.

I say migraine, yet I’m not sure what that’s really like. I definitely have an acute sensitivity to stimulation. Too much noise, light, motion, activity, etc really stresses me out. There’s some dizziness involved, but I think it’s completely secondary to just wanting to be alone in a quiet place.

Unfortunately it hit yesterday when I went skiing with the girls, and took me a while to realize what was going on. Some ibuprofen and simple concentration on the slopes helped.

Today it’s back and being at work isn’t helping.
