A few days ago I felt vertigo again. To be exact, it was the night of Sunday, July 23rd. I already started to notice it before I went to bed, I was lying on the sofa and tried to sit up straight. As soon as the pressure on the neck is alleviated, the feeling disappears. It happened to me three more times when I was already in bed, when I sat up as well. I calmed down because this time I perfectly knew what it was and I didn’t want to cause more anxiety, and I got back to sleep. In the morning I was normal.
I searched for the videos of a physiotherapist I already knew. He gives very good advice on how to deal with vertigo and he explains quite right how it originates in the majority of cases. He says that this is basic to treat it conveniently. He said that once you have realized anxiolytics are useless and you reduce your dependence on them, the best thing you can do is to take some medicinal plants and do some techniques to relax, besides certain self-massages and neck exercises to alleviate possible muscle cramps. Among these techniques there is a breathing technique he calls, literally, “abandoning yourself to death”. I did it while he was explaining it and I felt desires to cry... because that is the point where I want to take Roderic, but Roderic is stubborn like a mule and he doesn’t want to stop fighting. Roderic doesn’t want to die.
