samantha20 Posted November 22, 2011 Share Posted November 22, 2011 For about three weeks now I've had spells of dizzyness. It comes and goes and sometimes it feels like the room is spinning. Sometimes I wake up in the night and feel dizzy, like when you're drunk and the room is spinning. My head feels heavy and sometimes I feel like things are moving when they're not. Like I was looking at the grass in the garden and it looked like it was swaying up and down. Or another time I was in the car (parked) and I thought the car was rolling backwards when it wasn't. I feel kind of spaced out, like being stoned, and I feel almost like my brain is slightly out of sync with my movements. It's kinda hard to explain. I went to the doctor who said I probably have vertigo and it should go by itself in a week or two. It still comes and goes.. could it be anything else? It's not a nice sensation.

Furbys Posted November 22, 2011 Share Posted November 22, 2011 This is something you should go see your doctor about. No one here can diagnose and we could lead you in the wrong direction so see a doctor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HeartGoesOn Posted November 22, 2011 Share Posted November 22, 2011 It could be an inner ear disorder, but regardless you need to see a MD for a diagnosis. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ariel85 Posted November 22, 2011 Share Posted November 22, 2011 Yes, you should see someone. Like Heart said, could be an inner ear problem, blood sugar issue...all kinds of things. But, never delay preserving your health... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
badcat3 Posted November 22, 2011 Share Posted November 22, 2011 Did the doctor check your blood pressure? I used to have dizzy spells and it was from low BP. If it persists, you may want to get a second opinion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MakeItCount Posted November 23, 2011 Share Posted November 23, 2011 I have a hard time understanding why people get symptoms like these and don't go see a doctor. Like people have said..low blood sugar, low BP, etc etc. Go see a doctor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

samantha20 Posted November 23, 2011 Author Share Posted November 23, 2011 She did see a doctor. I think she is looking for other opinions. This is true. I guess I will go back again after a couple of weeks if it continues but just wondered if I should be worried. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh sorry, not sure how I missed this. Why does he think it's vertigo? Did he recommend you don't drive, etc for a while? Do you feel weak, stressed, anxious?

HoliPoli Posted November 26, 2011 Share Posted November 26, 2011 That happens with me once in a while when my blood pressure is too low. Mine tends to drop when I'm dehydrated and at night when I lie down or close my eyes everything spins out of control. It's usually better by morning, but I still up my fluid intake to help regulate it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
luminousone Posted November 26, 2011 Share Posted November 26, 2011 You could also have something called Meniere's Disease - a disease of the inner ear which can make you very dizzy. You should go to an Otolaryngologist and/or an Audiologist to help diagnose your problem. The Otolaryngologist is also called and Ear Nose and Throat specialist and they are an MD. An Audiologist is an ear and hearing specialist and that would be my next choice of a place to go, since you have already been to your doctor. If you do have Meniere's Disease, sometimes diet helps. It could also be a virus that settled into your inner ear and your symptoms may go away on their own after a long time... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
