A member asked:

When i sit at my desk & work, i get a woozy, dizzying feeling in my head. could it be related to an inner ear problem aggravated by the way my head is titled (and the need to look constantly from keyboard to screen)?

Uncertain: Have you had someone check out your ergonomic setup? If did that & ended up with a different chair, sit-stand computer set at correct heights and angle adjustments - It made a BIG difference. How long do the symptoms take to start? Do you get up and take breaks from your computer?How many hours a day are you on your computer?
