I got a <a href="https://fediscience.org/tags/migraine" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>migraine</span></a>. I rarely get them, so I did what I recommend to my patients: look for triggers. The only thing out of the ordinary was that I went to the playground with my 5yo and played on the spinning seat.</p><p>I gave myself 100% physiologic <a href="https://fediscience.org/tags/nystagmus" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>nystagmus</span></a>--and hours later got a migraine.</p><p><a href="https://fediscience.org/tags/neurology" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>neurology</span></a> <a href="https://fediscience.org/tags/neurotology" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>neurotology</span></a> <a href="https://fediscience.org/tags/vertigo" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>vertigo</span></a> <a href="https://fediscience.org/tags/vestibular" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>vestibular</span></a> <a href="https://fediscience.org/tags/VestibularMigraine" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>VestibularMigraine</span></a> <a href="https://fediscience.org/tags/MedMastodon" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>MedMastodon</span></a></p><p>1/2</p>
