[olivia224]

A few times when I am trying to get to sleep or in the morning when I am waking up I feel like I start to get dizzy. When I close my eyes and try to sleep I feel like it starts to spin and then when I open my eyes everyhting is fine no spinning no dizzines no nothing. I went to an ENT and told him all about this and he said i didnt have any ear problem or inner ear diease and that this could be anixety and that when ur eyes and ear and feet arent working toegther then u could feel dizzy??? could this really be or something else??please help

Hi,

As I had mentioned in my previous posts coordination of eyes, tactile organs and the semicircular canals in the ear are all responsible for the complete balance of the human body. On some occasions there is mismatch in coordination and the brain receives wrong information hence causing  this imbalance. There can also be a component of this cervical vertigo involved, but can not blame it completely. Well, try the rehabilitation exercises which I mentioned earlier you can benefit from it.

I went to the ENT  to get a hearing test and they said it was completely fine. so I am good there. Last night I had no dizziness or anything....I don't think it could be an inner ear problem or the ent would have told me. thanks for ur help...I am sure ill be back on these sites again haha

Hi,

Truly, BPPV does occur with the eyes open/closed it is more concerned with the otoconia in the lateral semicircular canals and the change in position of the head. Take a second opinion if possible also get an MRI done to look for any other lesions in the brain.

Hi,

Definitely anxiety plays a major role in causing dizziness but, before accusing anxiety to be the culprit, I would rather try to evaluate and rule out all the other possible causes of dizziness.

Fatiguability is the clinching feature of BPPV, more you try to induce dizziness in one particular position it disappears after few minutes.

Any how only with proper investigations the probable cause can be found out. Dizziness is such a thing even the best of the doctors some time fail to identify the exact cause.

All The Best
