Is vertigo a symptom of lung cancer. I remember having some dizzy spell and "listing" like a boat a few times perhaps a couple of months before my diagnosis.

Its usually not caused by LC unless you've had mets to your brain. I see you posted under stage 1 and that stage wouldn't have mets. I would call my doctor and ask him or her what they think. It could be something very inocent like an ear infection. But call just in case, today call!- John

I definately think it can be a symptom. My Mom had vertigo for the first time in her life (age 69) 6 months before her diagnosis. It went away once she started chemo.

I had vertigo several years ago, long before I was diagnosed. I was told mine was caused by calcium deposits in the ear canal that comes- with growing older. Although it is VERY scary, after some time I did recover. It is sure one hell of a scary ride tho.
Also, my ENT doc also said it may never come back again, or may recur again.
Hoping you find some real soon!

Yes I am glad you asked that .. My husband who had never ever been hospitalized woke up about 3 months ago maybe 4 time passes so fast when you finally wish it would pass slow .. but he woke up and said something is wrong .. I called 911 he was very dizzy and could not walk or stand up .. This was before he began having pain in his shoulder , lung and when sneezing .. He was diagnosed with lung cancer large cell agressive just 2 weeks ago .. So that is interesting . They were wondering if it came from somewhere else but at the time they did give him a cat scan and didnt see anything I wonder and i will mention this to the doctor tomorrow ..
