Default Riding with Vertigo

Can anyone come up with a reason to NOT ride with Vertigo? I don't mind admitting, my hour in the saddle is my best hour of the day when vertigo comes back to haunt me.

One reason - falling off!
Depends on what triggers your vertigo. If it is postural or positional, can you be sure that you can avoid that head position?

Is vertigo a dizziness? Is that why your avatar is swirling?!

Ever since my bad crash almost 3 weeks ago, I've had a terrible dizziness whenever I lay down or get up. It lasts a few seconds. Is that vertigo?

It could be! But I'm no doctor. Do a web search for vertigo, there are a lot of forms. If you just crashed, head injury could be the problem.

SEE A DOCTOR!
