Vertigo can get really bad.I have known people who developed inner ear problems and how seriously this can affect your balance. I have known that some of the exercises are extremely effective.
A friend of mine went to a Thanksgiving celebration with her sister and friends in the mountains last year. On her way home, coming out of mountains, she had to pull off the road and get help driving home. Something was off with the crystals in her ear. I had never heard of this before. But exercises helped her.
Terri, wishing you the best with this.
I occasionally suffer from it and it will drop me to the ground fast.
I had to stop driving for the DAV because I didn't trust myself to carry passengers.
I have tried the exercises to stop it but they didn't help me.
Basically you just turn your head and body in a specific pattern and the loose stuff in your ear falls into a pocked at the base of the ear canal.

Low heart rate is common in older folks.
My wife was just in the ER due to low HR and dizziness.
Her HR is around 50.
She is doing better today.
My heart rate is around 48 to 52 resting.
Doc sent me to have a stress test and everything is OK.
Today will be the first Thanksgiving that our kids aren't here.
There is a big snow storm forecast for the mountain passes and I told them to stay home.
Wife would never forgiver herself if something happened to them on the road.
So now we have a 22 pound turkey and all the trimmings and there is just 3 of us and 2 of us are on a diet.
Well no diet this day.
Happy Thanksgiving to everyone in this homesteading family.
