Almost 9 years ago in 2007, when I was in my vacation and travelling in train, in mid night I had a feeling that train was rolling, Immediately I sat and I was holding the chain firmly and did not sleep the whole night. Very next day when I met doctor, he examined and said whenever I lie down, my pressure goes less than 100 and when I get up it goes above 120, That is the reason for this happening. Then I had some medication. I was told not to get up from bed immediately, but slowly turn one side, put one leg down on the ground and then both leg on ground. I followed for this for almost a month. Then it slowly vanished. I was later told this might be because of some shoulder bone pressing some nerve which stops blood going to brain for fraction of seconds and I was asked to go physiotherapist. He did some IR therapy and suggested some exercises and slowly I forgot that incident till 2015. In 2015, when I was cycling (prior to joining Goqii), I fainted on middle of road and lasted for few minutes and I was admitted to hospital. The discharge summary simply indicated Syncope. After that once in 2 or 3 months, I have giddiness for fraction of seconds, while getting up from chair or bed or coming out of car (basically when I stand up after long sitting). All X-Ray, ECG, ECHO, CT scan and even MRI shows normal.

Your initial description falls in the category of benign postural paroxysmal vertigo precipitated by change of postures and neck movements on a particular side. Your small episode of unconsciousness while cycling needs more analysis. Syncope is the most plausible explanation but it could also be due to sudden kinking of the vertibro basilar artery in the neck bones supplying the posterior part of brain causing sudden loss of balance and transient unconsciousness. Because your all investigation reports are normal one has to presume that you are suffering from bppv and you will need special neck rotational exercises called epley maneuver which needs separate description and guidance to do. If the presumed diagnosis is correct then this maneuver may cure you of your problem. If despite this there is no relief then some more investigations like carotid angiography may be needed. Of course all this is postulation on the basis of your narration without going in the details of reports.

Please do the same therapy you did in 2007. Again compression of some nerve has come up.
