26. This has happened to me 3 times.

The first time I was 28, so not related to aging. Lasted a couple days, then went away.

After the 3rd time, I made a connection to eating honey. I did not eat honey often, but the night before the first bout with vertigo, I had made a big batch of granola with lots of honey

Second and third times occured the morning after eating baklava at a Greek church summer festival.

I have a lot of allergies and some of them cause the interior area of my ears to swell up a bit. I finally realized that I could add honey to my allergies list. It took inner ear swelling to a new level with me, throwing me literally off balance.

Small amounts, as in honey nut cereal are ok. But pastry soaked and dripping in honey is off limits now. Have not had another bout of vertigo since discovering the honey connection.

My guess is that your vertigo is an inner ear problem.

By any chance did you recently have a Covid vaccination? Irish_Dem May 2021 #1
