Vertigo problem
My mom had a vertigo problem with some high pressure issues in Oct, 2020 as said by the doctor. Yesterday, she bent and put her head down on the floor to pranam and then was unable to get up and was constantly banging her head on the floor. Then we pulled her up and gave water and the vertigo medicine , she is fine now. Is this second problem also due to vertigo? Does frequent vertigo ( twice in cause the second incident is also vertigo )indicate any major problem? Please help

Good day to you.
The incident that you are describing doesn't look like vertigo.
Basically in vertigo the patient will feel a dizzy sensation but since your mother was not able to lift her head it doesn't seem to be vertigo.
Does she feel dizzy or lightheadedness when she moves her head to one side of the other?
Her blood pressure should be checked once.
Kindly visit a local physician in the symptoms persist
Next Steps
blood pressure should be recorded at least thrice in a day and should be within an acceptable range.
if the symptoms persist a CT brain plain will have to be done
