Vertigo and PsA
Have you ever experienced vertigo alongside your PsA? How were you able to manage it?
Yes. Medication
thanks for sharing! Can I ask what medication helped manage your vertigo? -- Warmly, Christine (Team Member)
Yes but didn't realize it was related
, it can be related in some cases, but not always. Will you get a chance to ask your doctor about this potential link at some point? We have a couple of articles on PsA and vertigo that might be of interest. The first is a more clinical view: https://psoriatic-arthritis.com/clinical/having-vertigo and in the second, Elizabeth talks about her personal experiences with PsA and vertigo: https://psoriatic-arthritis.com/living/vertigo I hope these are helpful! I'm sorry you have to deal with vertigo. It sounds really awful. How often would you say you experience it? Warmly, -Catherine, Community Moderator
Thankfully not often but can last a day or over a week. I also deal with daily migraines if I miss a dose of that medication. I really believe this is related also. I've dealt with the migraines for 30 years.
, oh goodness, that must be awful when it lasts over a week! Having vertigo or dizziness for even a short length of time can be extremely debilitating. It's interesting that you mention migraines as we have a great forum discussion where quite a few people have shared their experiences with PsA and migraines: https://psoriatic-arthritis.com/forums/migraines-and-head-pressure Warmly, -Catherine, Community Moderator
