A member asked:

What can cause dizziness when i lay down?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

"dizzy"!??!: So which of the 50 meanings of dizziness are you referring to? Dizziness is not a medical term. It means different things to different people. There is no agreed upon meaning to the word, which therefore has no medical value. If you want a better answer, describe your symptoms better.
