I did the same thing..a severe case of vertigo and I have been dizzy for about 7 years now. They originally sent me home and told me it was most likely an inner ear infection.
I ended up being diagnosed with MS and I 62 yrs. old...a lot of people with MS have that symptom, but it also could be any number of neurlogical diseases.
Just my two cents..
hugs, meg
I was getting dizzy when lying down. I went to my alternative MD and he adjusted my head. Bingo. Gone immediately. But my vertigo may have had a different cause than yours. Anyway, check it out.
You don't say how many days ago you "woke up dizzy one day and the symptom did not go away". Have you been to the doctor? See a doctor and get a diagnosis. it just might be the crystals in your ear, if it is then check this video on the exercise to help you.
