A member asked:

Why do i get dizzy when i lay on my right side for about 5 minutes. it is worse when i open and close my eyes?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Blood pressure: This may relate to changes in blood pressure when you move or it may be your inner ear giving you the problem when moving. Either way--a visit to your internist should get you on the right path to figuring this out.
