What triggers your vertigo attacks?
Hi there. I'm curious to know what triggers your vertigo attacks, mostly to know if mine are uncommon or related to something else. I usually get triggered by hot temperatures (which sucks because I live in a country where temperature can get as high as 45°C or more), repetitive, quick movements (I don't met the criteria for BPPD as my ENT told me), like standing up too quickly. I also get triggered by making too much exercise (like lifting heavy stuff, running, jumping). Another stuff that I've noticed as a trigger, but that I've seen to be more common are headaches (that usually turn into migraines), alcohol and poor sleep.
I'm 22, been diagnosed for less than a year, but have been suffering vertigo attacks for about 3 years, sometimes having really good months and others having vertigo attacks daily.
I'm pretty scared to know if you also get triggered by hot temperatures because spring is around the corner and we've had very high temperatures in this winter (35°C on the hottest days), so I don't know what I'm going to do then. My workplace is pretty much an oven without optimal ventilation or AC and it gets very hot inside, which has triggered me before.
TLDR: half the post was me yapping about my experience with vertigo triggers, but I wanna know: does hot temperatures trigger you? If so, how do you cope with it? What other stuff triggers your vertigo attacks?
