When I Lay Down I Get Dizzy Why Does This Happen?

You could be suffering from vertigo. Often this is confused with a fear of heights because of the dizzy feeling that some people experience when they look down from a great height, but it is actually not the same thing at all.

If you have vertigo, it seems that the whole world is moving or spinning even when you are completely still or even lying down. This is caused by a problem with the balance mechanism of the inner ear, and can vary in severity to being very mild so that it is a minor inconvenience and the symptoms will disappear as quickly as they came, or it can cause real inconvenience and make you unable to function in your day to day life.

If this is the case, then you obviously need to see your doctor so the cause for your vertigo can be checked and treated. The symptoms for vertigo are dizziness and the feeling that your surroundings are spinning or moving; nausea and vomiting; loss of balance; light headedness; and difficulty with standing or walking.

Treatment depends on the severity and cause of the vertigo and can range from seeing a physiotherapist who can give you strategies to deal with your balance problems; to medication, or even surgery.

To relieve the symptoms you could try sleeping with your head raised more than you do normally, and when you get up, do it slowly, making sure that you sit on the edge of the bed until your balance has adjusted to the change in position. Avoid bending down, and also extending your neck (like you would if you were trying to reach something high up). You will probably find that if you move your head quickly the symptoms will worsen, so make sure that you move slowly.

Usually, when you have been on your feet all day long or for a long period of time doing to some physical activity which also has an adverse effect on your mind, your whole body will get tiresome. Due to this, when you lay down on your back or sit on a chair, you will experience a sense of dizziness. Dizziness can also occur when you lay down if you have been out in the heat for a long period of time. This is a natural process and there is nothing to be afraid about. You will feel the dizziness only for a short period of time. In this case, you can just lay down with your eyes closed and go off to sleep. Sleep is very important in this situation. You can also take a few vitamin or mineral pills to make you feel better and energetic.

I'm having the same issue, I've went to two doctors and they have told me that there are microscopic crystals in your ears that sometimes get loose and move around. When they get stuck again the dizziness will stop. Some people deal with it for years, months, weeks, or days. Ive been dealing with it for over a month now but mine has gotten to the point where I'm dizzy almost all the time and if I move my head a certain way the room spins. I hope yours goes away and stays away.

Its probably Vertigo which is like the other person said about the crystals in your ear. I had it too and I searched vertigo exercises and the one I used is the Brandt-Daroff exercises. It worked the first time, but afterwards I was really nauseated and just stayed in bed all day. But the next day it was gone and I felt fine again.

I have the dizziness too, when I don't drink enough (low blood pressure). Drink very slowly 2 glasses of water and see if there are any changes.

Plus, if your diet isn't balanced you night missing some vitamins, even if you are in shape. Have a blood test for that.

Go to a nutritionist to learn, how can you have a balanced food intake during the day to stay healthy. That's important because many of us sometimes don't eat enough nutritious foods.

You have vertigo.  It has to do with your inner ear.  Nothing real serious.  The doctor will prescribe medication.  As with all meds ask about side effects.

Why is it when I go to lay down and then when I try to sit or stand up I get really dizzy and it does not have to even be a fast movement

Could be low blood pressure or just your pressure fluctuating. Do you have a sinus infection? That can make you dizzy too

Blood sugar also could have something to do with this. A lot of my fam has diabetes. Get it checked prob would be good.

Have your blood pressure checked

This could be caused bu several different things. It could be a sudden change in blood pressure or it could possibly be a condition of the inner ear. A good checkup would probably find the problem. Make that appointment today!!! Good Luck

Maybe when drink a lot

I have been dizzy all day since 6 am and still the same at 10 pm and its mainly when I sit or lay down. It feels worse than getting so drunk that you got spins. What can it be?
