wow matey and thank god i was not that bad and hope your well now
its scary stuff and just right of the blue it hit me and panic set in
 
I have suffered with this on and off for 8 years.
First attack happened in France.
Could only crawl, blind, to the bog to throw up. Kept puking for hours. It’s because the body thinks it’s being poisoned. By the time the puking stopped and my vision returned I was so exhausted I just curled up and Slept on the floor.
Next day it happened again in Vence market.
I had to lie on a bench for four hours until it went away enough for two gendarmes to help me into a taxi.
I can now minimise the effects by taking betahistine dihydrochloride and prochlorperazine.
If you have a partner get them to learn to do the Epley manoeuvre, it can help relieve the dizziness.

Brandt-Darof exercises can also help.

Is it mainly on head turning?
MRI scan of your internal ear and balance organs might be needed to exclude a tumour
