I was on a flight that was delayed for takeoff. Hot, stuffy and pretty miserable. Someone lost their stomach in the main cabin...... There was a large sympathy response from many others. Wasn't the best flight, luckily very short.

I spent many years in the navy and got see sick once--and it lasted for 3 days. But so did most of the crew .we had major damage topside.

I thought I wanted to fly early in my naval career, but acrobatic maneuvers caused issues. It seemed after each flight, I was med down for 3 days. I got behind in my schedule..log story short, I quit flying.


so vertigo is not new to me. I hope the meclizine cures me.
I hope you have a quick recovery. Any chance you recently had inner ear or other infections? Sometimes related and antibiotics may help if it's infection related.

Your doctor can also give you valium, it's sometimes helpful for the symptoms as is meclizine. I'd agree with checking out the Epily maneuver as it's helped millions.

Good luck.

We were on a catamaran in heavy surf off Waikiki Beach and there was spray coming onto the deck. Everyone went inside. I spent 5 minutes there and then went outside. Kept my eyes on the horizon and my hand on a beer can. The guys that joined me and I were the only ones spared. Got a little wet.
