Dizziness while sleeping

[lovemygurls]

For the past two nights I have awoken to feeling like the room was spinning. I noticed it most when I would toss in my sleep to another position.  I was also noticing it as I was tilting my head and reading from a book.  What could be causing this...should I see someone?

Hi,
I think you might be describing vertigo.
There are various causes of vertigo.
You need to see an ENT specialist and physician to check your symptoms.
Vertigo is an illusion of movement, most commonly a sensation of spinning. Usually due to a disturbance in the vestibular system; abnormalities in the visual or somatosensory systems may also contribute to vertigo. Frequently accompanied by nausea, postural unsteadiness, and gait ataxia, and may be provoked or worsened by head movement.
How severe are your symptoms? How long your symptoms have been? Do you hear ringing in ear or buzzing sound? Do you have headache, seizures, severe vomiting etc?
How much time it takes for you between attaining head position and onset of symptoms?
Do you feel lessening of symptoms with repeated trials?
How intense is this feeling of spinning and what is the likelihood of symptom production during any examination session?

I have the same symptoms from last 5days and I had Severe vomiting also on one day. can u pls tell what it is?

[lovemygurls]

It has been a couple of days and I haven't noticed it.  It would take about 10 second for it to go away. I hadn't had any other symptoms beside a stuffy nose.  I did have a dizzy spell several months ago, almost to where I felt like I was being pulled to the right as I walked. It was strange.  I did notice it happened before I started my period. So I am feeling normal today but we'll see if it happens again. I'll touch base with the doc soon too.

Hi,
What is your name? How old are you?
Have you got any deafness or were you treated for any ear disease before?
Either it could be benign paroxysmal positional vertigo or acute unilateral labyrinthine dysfunction.
You can consult ENT surgeon as early as possible to rule out any pathology if at all it exists.
Keep me informed.
Bye.

I was just glad to hear i was not the only one with this problem.been getting dizzy for a while if my head is not higher then the rest of my body.i was kind of concerned because this never used to happen to me.It take about 20-30 sec before i can collect my thoughts.Then i'm fine sometimes i get real bad headaches had a cat scan and everything was ok.

So just know your not alone.

I've had dizziness while sleeping, headaches and vomiting over the past week. I saw a doc, he cleaned out some wax out of one of my ears and put me on antibiotics about 5 days ago. This morning I woke up feeling fine for the first time in a week, and I hope it stays this way. Anyway, I think I had an inner ear infection. This is a pretty common cause of dizziness.

reeling or spinning is due to imbalance of fluids in the inner ear semi circular canals , this is due to various reasons , sleeplessness, food allergy,more salt intake, ear infection,nose/estuchian tube infection, acidity,position of your head while sleep , relative motion,BP, heights etc, you need to care fully analyse the factors for the cause , then u need to concentrate the factors, remedies, and medicines etc

In allopathy there are medicines to supress the causes , in homeopathy you have good medicines for cure.

Hello, I have experienced two dizzy spells recently in my sleep. The first time it awoke me with heart palpitations, shortness of breath, my body shaking uncontrollably along with a headache. I was really scary. I woke my husband and he prayed for me and I went to the bathroom and defecated. I felt better but it haunted me for the rest of the day because I had never experienced that before. Well last night it happened again with the only difference being was I didn't use the bathroom. I am 42 and am known to have panic attacks only when I have a public speaking event. This is so embarasing but I have tried everything and still can't manage to gain control of my body shaking uncontrollably, palms and feet sweating and my voice cracking to pieces. I am too old for this! Can anybody help me? Am I having panic attacks in my sleep now?

[Libilee]

Thanks

While i take meds for hypertension it is under control...still i've had vertigo on and off for years. Two years ago i went to an ENT and had a series of tests of which one was the VNG (warm/cool air blowed into the ears one at a time)... this 'normally' produces one to have dizziness, rapid eye movement (nystagmus). My right ear got a normal reaction... however my left ear had no reaction to the air at all. She told me i had a narrowing in my left ear canal... which 'could be' causing problems... but i got NO real diagnosis. After a recent sinus infection my vertigo reared its ugly head again and in my sleep my head feels pressurized/agitated and i even dream i'm sick. When i wake i have to sit up VERY slowly and move like a slug until i can get semi balance. Anyone else have anything similiar? Please post if you can offer advice. Thank you!!

Hi,

I'm still investigating and I don't know exactly what should be my problem, but  I've been having dizziness during sleep for last 4 months, on-and-off.

I have a lypom inside my brain at least for 21 years, And during this period I had never felt something like that. So, doc says that probably there is no relation between the lyoom and that symptom.

THE FACT IS THAT I MADE AN IMPORTANT DISCOVERY: THE VERTIGO ONLY OCCURS WHEN MY HEAD IS TURNED TO THE LEFT SIDE. AFTER THIS DISCOVERY, I STARTED SLEEPING ONLY WITH MY BODY TURNED TO THE RIGHT.and no longer had the symptom.

Have anyone experienced something similar?

Best regards,
Eduardo

Did you ever get diagnosed with your dizziness?  Did it ever happen again?  It seems like it's an epidemic.  Lately, everywhere you look people are looking for answers to dizziness.
