Dizziness

You got diagnosed with something and you tacitly assumed it wasn't a "real condition"? Vertigo is a real condition. It's not a life-threatening one, but that doesn't make it any less "real".

Does sound more like a bug than anything though. Whenever I have any sort of bug I generally don't eat anything and I drink as much water as possible until it's gone. Completely drains you of energy, but it gets rid of the bug...

I sometimes suffer from virtigo. I believe its related to blood pressure or something but I'm not completely sure.

If people at work are suffering with the same symptoms as you then it does sound like a bug going round. Maybe go to the doctor if it doesn't improve

I think you misunderstood me.. I said it doesn't sound like a real condition, not that it isn't, I know it is (having suffered from it ) I think it was down to the fact that I had always considered vertigo a fear of something rather than a something you can experiance with feet on ground/butt in chair etc without being exposed to heights at all - and I'm not afraid of heights anyway

Yeah, I think I am going to go for the fast/plenty of water combo.. I'm pretty knackered anyway so I think an early night might be in order too. Now I just have to hope my dizziness clears up in the next couple of hours so I can drive home from work.

If you feel yourself getting exhausted (as in completely drained of energy, not tired), try diluted fruit juice or weak squash, or something to keep your energy up.

And... you're still at work? Get home straight away. Chances are, if you drink anything or move too much, you'll throw up. That's kind of to be expected, though...
