Vertigo
During the past few months, I noticed a tingling sensation in my hands and face, and naturally, I was worried about heart/circulation issues. The symptoms were exacerbated by alcohol (even a single glass of wine), so I cut out alcohol. The symptoms didn't go away, so I visited a doctor. My heart was okay, and my oxygen levels were completely normal even when I was experiencing the symptoms. Well, it seems like I am on the verge of being diagnosed with a form of vertigo. My mother has it, and apparently I have it too. Do any of you have experiences/know someone who has reapplied for an FAA 1st-class medical with vertigo? Is it honestly even possible to maintain the medical for the rest of my flying-future with this illness? I am a CFI/CFII/MEI, but am also an engineer. Flying has always been my passion, but I fear that I may have to give it all up because of this.
Any feedback would be GREATLY appreciated! Thanks!
