[NFBP-Talk] Question about blind people with vertigo

[sherry gaskins]

Good morning, this is SHERRY, I do get vertigo from time to time. Most of the time I feel lightheaded, if I lean forward, I feel like I’m about to tip over. I must admit I also feel like I’m walking to one side, typically to my left. What I mean is: I walk and lean towards the left. Also, I feel that I’m hearing bells in my ear drums, or I feel like I have too much fluid on my body. To explain the fluid on my body is a little hard to express. Otherwise, these are most of the symptoms that I feel when I get vertigo. I hope this helps.
