Feeling Dizzy

[lisa328]

I woke up this morning feeling very dizzy and off balance when sitting up, standing up, and walking.  What could be the causes ?  Should I go and see a doctor ?  Get some rest ?

Is it still there? Does it get worse when you bend over and then straighten up? Do you feel pressure or itching in your ear? This sounds like ear trouble which plagues me. Try opening your mouth real wide like a giant yawn and holding it open for a few seconds. Do that a couple of times (best not while anybody's watching). Also hold your nose, close your mouth and 'push' your breath out and your ears should pop - like pressure does in a plane. If any of that affects you either good or bad it's probably an inner ear irritation. If it lasts for more than a couple of days or gets worse go to the doc. Sorry about all the questions but the answers are needed to help give an opinion. As you probably guessed by now I get this often and have been through the mill with the doctors. Lets have a reply when you can get to it.

Hi,

Can you please let us know if there is any fluctuating hearing loss? or vomiting associated with this? Any history of fever? How long does the dizziness last for? Any history of Increased/decreased BP/ Blood sugar?
