Thank you for that information! I will def. ask the doc.

Also, since I am moving next month I will need to find a doc out in Nevada.
What are some things I should look for when finding the right doc to help me
with this? Are there certain questions I should ask or something like that?

Thanks again!
Brenda

I have to say that first attack was probably the scariest experience I have ever
had. I was at work (luckily in a hospital) and everything started to spin. Then
came the sweating from head to toe and finally the never ending vomiting. I
didn't know what was going on with me. I thought things like "is this what a
heart attack feels like?" "am I going to die?" I really just didn't have a clue
as to why the spinning wouldn't stop. After being in the ER for over 5 hours,
they sent me home with meds and an appointment with an ENT doctor. You know the
rest after that.
