January 31, 2019 I collapsed on the bedroom floor. The whole world was spinning and I couldn't get up. Each attempt resulted in me literally falling again.
I had to go by ambulance to one of our big emergency hospitals. After one night at the hospital I was referred to a specialist who diagnosed me with BPPV. After that I lived as usual for almost exactly 2 years.
On February 2, 2021, I experienced the same thing again, albeit with milder symptoms. This time I was referred to another doctor who specializes in dizziness. He ran lots of tests and even ordered an MRI of my brain. After all the tests and the MRI, he concluded that I do not have BPPV but vertigo migraine.
My lifestyle of stress, bad eating habits and a lot of work has caused my migraine to develop into vertigo migraine. Besides the obvious of having to improve my diet, sleep more and stress less, I had to quit my one vice, Coca-Cola.
From that day on, I haven't drunk a single Coke. However, I am incredibly fond of chocolate, especially dark. Yesterday the world's best husband found an article about dark chocolate containing caffeine. I won't stop eating chocolate too, just limit myself to the weekends.
