Kaye Adams Describes Vertigo Diagnosis After Dizzy Spell at Pilates

She says a sudden spinning sensation left her fearing a stroke before doctors confirmed an inner‑ear issue.

Overview

  • Kaye Adams, 62, says she felt the world spin and lost her balance after a reformer Pilates class, initially fearing a stroke.
  • She told her How to Be 60 podcast that doctors later diagnosed vertigo, which she described as a strange but common experience.
  • Adams referenced dislodged inner‑ear “crystals” and balance exercises as part of management, reflecting a typical explanation for positional vertigo.
  • The NHS describes vertigo as a symptom of movement or spinning often tied to inner‑ear problems, with gentle movement and short‑term medication sometimes used.
  • She highlighted the incident on her podcast and Instagram, with reports also noting a separate hearing scare last year that was resolved by removing earwax.
