Re: Vertigo

I haven't heard of clarinet playing causing dizziness, in and of itself.

As mentioned above, vertigo can be a sign of serious underlying health conditions, and you should seek attention as soon as possible. It can stem froim any number of causes, from middle/inner ear infections, to stroke, or almost anything in between, so it's something you want to take VERY seriously.

I had one bout with vertigo a couple of years ago when my doctor had prescribed a new beta-blocker regime to add to my other blood pressure medicines. It was rather frightening; I was alone in a parking lot as the world began to spin around me. I had to grab onto a car's trunk lid to keep myself from collapsing until I regained my balance.
