A member asked:

Head dizziness when lying once and when bending 3tms in 3dys, what is it? head tumor, atherosclerosis or?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Hard to tell: There are many possible causes. Atherosclerosis is rarely a cause. Other possibilities may be changes in blood pressure with change in position, problems in the inner ear. A tumor is possible but if the changes are really only with motion it is less likely
