Interesting. My dad had severe Magnesium deficiency, after a genetic thyroid problem. The deficiency only got diagnosed because the doctor noticed the cramps. But for almost 2 weeks before the correct diagnosis, he developed a persistent vertigo that left him sick on the bed, could eat nothing, and drugs did nothing to improve. Now, I know our bodies have a delicate Ca/Mg osmotic balance. I wonder if his vertigo was due to the same thing, minerals loose in the inner ear? Might get you and your parent's thyroid hormone levels tested too (it's a simple blood test), it fixed my dad's vertigo for good.
