Ear problem: Try sleeping on an extra pillow and taking an over the counter decongestant medication with your pharmacist's knowledge of your other medications. Seek medical examination if the vertigo becomes to severe to function beyond the few minutes adjusting to rising up in the morning. Do not put anything in your ear, but a warm compress over the ear may be comforting.

Vestibular rehab: This happens when a crystal in the inner ear gets dislodged. It causes excess sensory stimulation of the vestibular nerve. Very often it responds well to vestibular rehabilitation where a specially trained physical therapist can help put it back in place.
