Yahoo Movies Teddi Mellencamp Shares Photo Of Busted Lip and Bruised Face After Vertigo Fainting Spell
Former Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star Teddi Mellencamp fainted last weekend and suffered a busted lip and black eye.
She shared a picture of her injuries on Instagram asking for tips on how to deal with vertigo, which she says led to her fall.
She said she’s dealt with dizziness spells “off and on” lately, and hopes to see a doctor soon.
It was a rough weekend for Teddi Mellencamp, who is now dealing with a black eye and busted lip after vertigo caused her to faint while rushing to her daughter’s room in the middle of the night.
The former Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star shared a selfie that pictured her injuries on Sunday, asking followers for advice on how to combat her unexplained random bouts of dizziness.
“Anyone got any hot tips on how to get rid of vertigo?” she began the post, explaining how the fainting spell went down. “At 4 a.m., Slate yelled out for me to please come to her room and as any Mom would I jumped up at mock speed and sprinted in there. By time I got to her room, my eyes went black and I fainted and busted open my cheek and lip.”
The 40-year-old continued, admitting that the accident kind of freaked her out. “Luckily all was good with Slate and something worse didn’t happen to me.” She finished the post mentioning that she will see her doctor.
The following morning, she shared an update on her condition sporting an even more swollen lip and a black eye. She also said two of her teeth felt loose.
Under the original post, Mellencamp’s friends and followers showed care and concern for the reality star. “Omg you poor thing. I hope you’re feeling better soon and get some answers from the doctor,” Tamra Judge wrote.
Her fellow Real Housewife Kyle Richards—who experienced a health scare on the same day after running into a beehive—commented on their bad luck, writing, “We are a good team #hotmessexpress.” Lisa Rinna chimed in, adding, “OMG FOX FORCE IS FALLING APART TODAY !!!!!”
According to the Mayo Clinic, dizziness known as vertigo has many potential causes from inner ear issues to infection to anxiety. A common type of vertigo known as benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (BPPV) is triggered by a change in head positioning that often happens when sitting up, standing up, or laying down.
On her Story, Mellencamp said she experiences episodes “on and off,” adding that it’s “a thing that happens to me.”
