We stayed at the emergency room for almost six hours. My MIL was dizzy and nauseous. She vomited three times before going to the ER. They monitored her heart, do some labs, and had a CT scan of the brain to know if she had a stroke. Fortunately, all is normal. She had a mild heart attack 17 years ago. After everything has been cleared and her dizziness almost home, she was finally discharged. As per the doctor, it's vertigo. She was given medicines. We stayed at their house for a while.

Vertigo sounds like a strange diagnosis for such strong symptoms, but they’d definitely know.

True. But at least she was cleared it's not stroke or heart attack which is worse

My SIL gets severe vertigo from time to time too. It's a nasty condition.

True. My SIL too. And it is far worse from her comparing to what my MIL had.

It was. We had to wait for the CT scan result and other tests Doctor wants to see it first before discharging her

Maybe because of the weather it triggers her vertigo. I am glad she is okay and nothing is serious.

Vertigo causes nausea, but I am surprised by this diagnosis.
