We've got plenty of members here over 50, so I'm throwing this out to you guys specifically.

Twice now I've had it happen where I was laying under a car working on something, when a sudden wave of nausea comes over me. First time it happened was last year, during the summer. I figured I just got over heated. Today, it happened again, but much worse, and its not hot out. Been sitting here for the better part of 2 hours waiting for the feeling to subside.

I always figured as I got old(er) I'd have the usual problems, back pain, joint pain, etc from trying to do things, but never expected this.

And of course it hit this time just as I got my truck disassembled to where I can't move it (motor mounts).

Anyone else have this happen?

You diabetic? If I don't eat that hits me on occasion.

Vertigo. Meniere's disease.

Might want to get checked out.
You could be pregnant.

I'm not a doctor and I didn't stay at a Holiday Inn Express last night either but I'm 63 and have never had that happen to me. See a doctor please.

Sounds like blood sugar levels

go to the doc

63 here, never had anything like that. I have had vertigo for about a week when waking in the morning, something about sinuses and liquid in inner ear.
Now, I did loose 6 lbs this weekend. Big push to get the garden in and also with May 1 fast approaching when burn permits end finished pruning grapes olives and some scrub and torched off a big pile. I am sore.

I third these suggestions, go see a doc.

Type II diabetes ??

Please see a Doctor, asking Moparts is a death sentence.

Only if his symptom is accompanied by a craving for sardines, peanut butter and radishes.

Aww hell......




But seriously, yes I will go to a Doc, just threw this out in the meantime.

I've been around diabetics, and their triggers were never based on body orientation. Just the same though, I'll get it checked.

From what was mentioned here and what I read online, it sounds more like vertigo.

Thanks guys. Just feeling frustrated right now.

I went to the doctor and he showed me how to do the Semont Maneuver which stopped it. He also sent me to an ent specialist who sent me to an audiologist that found one ear had symptoms of an impingement of the hearing nerve (don't know the name). mri later I have a all clear. Seems it's another chemo fried nerve. Cancer really sux, but good to be breathing.

Best advice ever

And as mentioned, I intend to. I just threw this out in the meantime.

Well as long as we're playing doctor, I'm going with vertigo. I have and it sucks.

Vertigo made me park my tool box 20 years ago. If you still have the muscle to do stuff,ask your Dr. about https://www.google.com/search?q=ver...490j0j7&sourceid=chrome&ie=UTF-8

When I saw this thread i figured it was about dOc...............

I actually was thinking about the second half, Get better

Worst case, heart attack, take an aspirin immediately ( unless you have ulcers or other bleeding problems or already on blood thiiners), right now, and recurrence of any symptoms unexplained or worse, get to ER, have someone drive you. If you have a family Dr, make an appointment first thing Mon morning, if you tell them what you shared here, they will say head straight to ER.
This is not a thing to take lightly. Don't press your luck, you already have been given two warnings.
I am not a Dr, these are Good Samaritan suggestions

I get nauseous 5 out of seven mornings around 6 a.m. It actually wakes me up. I fart a couple times and it passes after a few minutes and I go back to sleep.

I appreciate the concern jcc, but this doesn't seem severe enough to warrant a trip to the ER. Yes its happened twice, but 10 months apart. If it was happening daily or weekly, yes, I'd be at the ER. However, I will be calling my Doctor tomorrow.

One issue I've always had that may or may not be related is that I've never been able to read while in a moving vehicle. I'll get nauseous almost instantly. Even now with google maps on my phone, if I need to do more than just glance at it while moving, I have to stop to do it. I've never gotten motion sickness in general just riding in a car though.
