Yes I do and out of nowhere it comes on. I also have fibromyalgia and that can cause the same symptoms. It's horrible. I keep Gravol with me in case I need it.

Are you experiencing dizziness and feeling sick with AS?

While dizziness and nausea aren't the most common AS symptoms, they can occur and may be related to several factors connected to your condition.

Potential connections to AS:

* Medications - Some AS treatments can cause dizziness or nausea as side effects. Members have reported cognitive and physical side effects from their medications
* Fatigue and brain fog - AS-related exhaustion can make you feel generally unwell, "out of it," or dizzy
* Sleep deprivation - Poor sleep from pain can contribute to feeling off-balance and foggy
* Inflammation - Chronic inflammation affects the whole body and may contribute to feeling generally unwell
* Underlying conditions - People with AS have higher risks of conditions like high blood pressure, thyroid disorders, and type 2 diabetes, which can cause dizziness

It's important to talk with your doctor about these symptoms. They can help determine if it's medication-related, connected to AS, or if there's another condition that needs attention. Don't ignore persistent dizziness - your healthcare team needs to know so they can properly evaluate what's causing it.

I don't know what you would call it in the UK, but Gravol in Canada is a pill for nausea and dizziness. It settles everything right down and you feel better in no time. I think another word for it would be Dramamine.
