I have been flying r/cs steadily (once a week) for about four years now. Though, I recently came into a position where I have the chance to fly all day everyday, so I am now flying at least twice a day, if not more. Most of this is in front of my house with an F-27Q (mini version), so it's not going too terribly high, but I am looking up at it at about an average of 45 degrees. About once a week I take my big Stryker out to the community center and fly it up around 1800-2000 feet, so I'm craning my head about 70-80 degrees for up to ten minutes at a time, if it's windy.
A few days after this routine started, I started to get dizzy at times, but I attributed it to a new medicine I had switched to. However, I consulted my doc, and she confirmed that it couldn't be causing it. Yesterday, after flying for maybe five minutes, I had to stumble my way back to the house, almost falling a few times, cause it all of a sudden turned into full blown vertigo. (The plane was wrecked.) I lay down on the couch, but the room kept spinning around me. After a few hours of this, and seeing my breakfast for the second time, I went to the doc, and he confirmed I had a pretty bad case of vertigo.
Clonapin is controlling it at the moment, but is it possible the sudden increase in flying caused it? I'd really rather not stop flying r/c planes.
