room spinning

[littlegem]

Hi all,

Hubby has been 'not quite himself' the last 2 days.
He said the room was spinning, he's had a very painful neck, vomited up his breakfast and tea about 5 minutes after eating them yesterday.
Today, after painkillers and me doing all the checks for meningitis etc yesterday, he feels better as in no pain, but he is very very confused and tired, more so than usual.
He's eaten a good breakfast and lunch OK and slept all afternoon as usual.
Is it possible he has had a TIA or something? Are a painful neck, spinning room symptoms of a TIA?
Grateful for any advice please.

Could it be an ear problem? Visit to the GP if possible I think.

Could be an ear infection or possibly vertigo. As pippop1 says visit to Doctors asap or phone helpline.

vertigo is the first thing that came to mind. Check with GP. So difficult to deal with I am sure. Jeannette

i would always check with a dr. id start with my GP and go from there if he thinks its necessary. things can get frightening, but we dont know unless we check with our GP first. why speculate? i hope its all ok. i 2will say this howebever , but im not a dr. dont listen to me. ive had vertigo a few times. it looks worse than it is. it goes away in a day or 2, but id check. i did check with me. why take a chance? im not a dr.
