Can a virus cause vertigo

Answer 1

About a two weeks ago, I started to feel sick. Turns out it was the Flu. I went through all of the stages of the Flu, but as the Flu was about over I started to have vertigo. I went to the doctor and I found out that the Flu caused a bacterial sinus infection and the sinus infection caused the vertigo. My case of vertigo was so horrible and terrifing. Nasonex and an antibiotic fixed the vertigo in about 8 days.

Answer 2

Yes - I have it right now (4 weeks, non-stop - annoying and uncomfortable). Anti-dizziness medication prescribed by my doctor hasn't helped much.

I found this link had some helpful information: http://www.essortment.com/all/symptomsofve_rcix.htm

Question to ID1676394157: I'm on 3 weeks and 5 days now. Can you follow-up with how long you had this? You're absolutely right - anoying, uncomfortable and now becoming quite depressing to wake up feeling dizzy every single day.
