I sometimes wake up in the night with vertigo which stops when i sit up in bed. can that be an inner ear issue or is it from digestive issues?

Dizziness: During sleep, a person's heart rate and blood pressure goes down. This can lead to dizziness when awakening. It can be made worse by dehydration or meds that reduce your blood pressure or heart rate. During the day drink up to 3 liters of water daily for good hydration. If this persists, talk to a Dr

Inner ear likely: This is most likely an inner ear issue, especially if you have a clinical history of such. If not, it may may be be related to a sharp drop in systemic blood pressure when lying down. If the issue persists, consult a neurologist
