I know that most people don't understand that we have pain that does not end. They ask when do your headaches start? Or... What brings on a headache?
There's never a time I do not have pain, nausea & vertigo from the time I wake until I retire. I'm sure most of you can relate. The only thing that changes is the severity of the pain.
My question is this... Do any of you ever begin coughing & end up vomiting? It seems sometimes to hit a gag reflex in me. It used to be less, but seems to be happening a little more frequently.
Naturally, coughing & sneezing intensifies the headaches, but the vomiting puts me close to a migraine.
I'm sorry if this sound gross, I really just am curious if this is something any of you also experience.
Not sure if it has changed much over the last several years- I was just recently diagnosed but each day realize I've had it for quite a while but didn't know what "it" was.
So 'funny' not ha, ha,...that you have this sx.....I do as well..as a matter of fact..just this morning I ending up puking and dry heaving after a coughing jag..I have a horrific chest cold...that i use to get all the time b4 surgery ..at least 3-4x a yr w/pnemonea or bronchitis....so these past 10 days or so with this stinks...brings back memories of b4 I was dx'd...Every doc said i would get these infections b/c i smoke ciggs..naturally, that makes sense...but i did not stop smoking and surgery was 3 yrs ago..this Sx in my heart and soul is Chiari related.
Okay, I have one more for you.... & this one may sound really strange. I know this actually happens, occasionally maybe, to everyone. It's been happening to me since I was VERY young. Lately, though, several times a week, I will be walking along, & all of the sudden my knee just drops out. So far, I always catch myself. It's just that once again, it's happening more frequently. Is this related? I'm sorry if this is something that has been covered & I've not seen it. I'm new here & have not found my way around yet.
Just wanted to add a question here, since everyone is talking about gagging etc. I have a few choking spells, though none too severe. I used to have an overactive gag reflex and now it is less overactive. The weird thing is, I went to bend over to pick something up off of the floor and vomit/fluid came gushing out w/o any warning or feeling like it was going to happen. It was strange and at first I just blew it off, but now I wonder if it is something any of you have experienced?
Also, I am not sure if this is a symptom or a psychological factor. When I eat, I tend to lean my head forward as if by doing so, I may prevent myself from choking.

Melissa last summer I spent most of my summer falling…no dizziness, nothing to warn me, 1 minute I was up, one I was down…just had my surgery 4 weeks ago…most symptoms are gone or less severe, but I am not a patient person, so we will see
