Question 1

waking up with bad vertigo where the room is spinning. also, have a sensation of moving while standing still, i don't have a cold. what could be wrong?

Accepted Answer

Vertigo: Vertigo can be caused by various things - trauma, migraine, CNS issue, sinus issues, ear problems. The most common type is benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (BPPV). It involves three small bones and fluids in the inner ear. Your doctor can perform a simple test called the Dix-Hallpike maneuver to confirm diagnosis. In most cases, this will resolve on its own or may require medication.

Accepted Answer

Eye twitching: The eye twitching is likely due to stress - this is a fairly common phenomenon and not something to worry about. Make sure to get plenty of rest and try to stay relaxed!
Your vertigo may or may not be related to stress.

Question 5

what to do if i feel like the room is spinning?

Accepted Answer

Vertigo: Greetings. Vertigo that recurs makes us think of a few different possible causes. Vertigo can be treated with meclizine. I usually recommend obtaining 12.5 mg tablets. You can take 1-2 tabs every 8 hours as needed for dizziness. I never recommend staying on these medications long term.   Different treatments are available for recurring vertigo episodes. See your ENT if symptoms persist. Good Luck

Question 6

sometimes i wake up it looks like the room is spinning. should i just lie there or roll over?

Accepted Answer

Wait it out: Vertigo is the seaation of spinning.  It is fairly common and usually resolves quickly on its own.  Remain still until it passes. Trying to move can make it worse.  If these episodes are often and prolonged, you may need a thorough ENT and/or neurological evaluation.

Question 7

sometimes i wake up and the room is spinning. it stops suddenly as soon as i half sit up. what causes that?

Accepted Answer

Inner ear: Sounds like inner ear otolithic dysfn.  You may be provoking by lying on the afflicted side.  Check if there is some consistency.  Sitting up could relieve.  Could sort out by audiological/ otological test battery.  Physical therapy could do Epley maneuver, which might be curative, if these interpretations are correct.

Question 8

i have dizziness sometimes when im in bed. it happens when i move posture. 5 sec. room is spinning and feel no gravity. scary! whats that?

Accepted Answer

Vertigo: Studies show that when one feels the room spinning around vertigo is a likely diagnosis, and benign positional vertigo is likely if it is positional. A full history and physical exam are still necessary. How is it treated if vertigo? Physicians can perform the Epley maneuver, treat you with meclizine, and send you for vestibular rehabilitation/thearpy. Stay calm and see MD.

Question 9

i am having faintish feelings with some headaches and pulpitations. thought is was my equilibrium but my balance is fine just feels like the room is spinning most of the time. can you tell me what it may be?

Accepted Answer

Spinning: Probably vertiginous migraine. Try promethazine or meclizine.

Question 10

Accepted Answer

Vertigo: See a neurologist or ENT. After evaluation medications can control your symptoms.
