A member asked:

Can ibuprofen cause dizziness when bending over or laying down after taking it a few days ago? could that be the cause?

Specializes in ENT and Head and Neck Surgery

No: Especially if you took the medication a few days ago it should be out of your system by now, your body should have cleared the medication. Sounds like you have a possible problem with your inner ear. See your physician.
