I am sorry to hear about your concern but will be happy to assist you. Bppv is a major cause of vertigo when you're lying down, because when the tiny crystals that are normally held in place by the otolithic membrane become free floating, they can move into the inner ear canals and displace fluid. This leads to inaccurate reporting from the inner ear to the brain about how you are moving. Let's connect over a call so that we can discuss your concern in details and make a suitable treatment plan for you.

There are multiple neurotropic and anxiety medications and all are known to give such problems on their own. Treatment appears to be for psychological upset which may also add to complaints. Normal approach is to have complete check up by a neurophysician to investigate and rule out any organic, bodyly or functional disorder. If found normal then regular treatment and follow up by psychiatrist even if normal extending for long time. Your psychiatrist will be able in a better position to explain your doubts and offer best remedy.

Sometimes medicines cause what is called postural hypotension. Sometimes, benign vertigo can be a side effect. Not to worry right now. Just follow these: 1. Drink plenty of water (3-4lit/day) 2. Don't get up suddenly from sitting or lying down posture. Allow a few minutes before starting moving around after getting up. 3. Check your bp occasionally.

For vertigo you should try this 1. Avoid taking too many pillows during sleep ( preferably no pillows) 2. Avoid position that causes vertigo. Most commonly Neck flexion increases vertigo like looking at Mobile, tv or sitting for prolonged time. 3. Correction of posture during sitting, sit erect and head in retracted position. 4. Do head retraction exercise slowly first in lying position and than in sitting position ( make sure it doesn’t increase your problem) 5. Avoid changing of head position very fast like don’t suddenly get up from bed very fast instead turn to side of bed put your legs down and slowly push your self upright. If no improvement in week than consult nearest physical therapist. Thank you

Dizziness is the feeling of being lightheaded, woozy, or unbalanced. It affects the sensory organs, specifically the eyes and ears, so it can sometimes cause fainting. Dizziness isn’t a disease, but rather a symptom of various disorders. True dizziness is the feeling of lightheadedness or nearly fainting. Dizziness is common and its underlying cause usually isn’t serious. Occasional dizziness is not something to worry about. However, you should call your doctor immediately if you’re experiencing repeated episodes of dizziness for no apparent reason or for a prolonged period. Causes of dizziness Common causes of dizziness include a migraine, medications, and alcohol. It can also be caused by a problem in the inner ear, where balance is regulated. Dizziness is often a result of vertigo as well. The most common cause of vertigo and vertigo-related dizziness is benign positional vertigo (BPV). This causes short-term dizziness when someone changes positions quickly, such as sitting up in bed after lying down. Dizziness and vertigo can also be triggered by Meniere’s disease. This causes fluid to build up in the ear with associated ear fullness, hearing loss, and tinnitus. Another possible cause for dizziness and vertigo is an acoustic neuroma. This is a noncancerous tumor that forms on the nerve that connects the inner ear to the brain. Some other possible causes of dizziness include: sudden drop in blood pressure heart muscle disease decrease in blood volume anxiety disorders anemia (low iron) hypoglycemia (low blood sugar) ear infection dehydration heat stroke excessive exercise motion sickness In rare cases, dizziness could be caused by multiple sclerosis, a stroke, a malignant tumor, or another brain disorder. Symptoms of dizziness People experiencing dizziness may feel various sensations, including: lightheadedness or feeling faint a false sense of spinning unsteadiness loss of balance feeling of floating or swimming Sometimes, dizziness is accompanied by nausea, vomiting, or fainting. Seek emergency medical help if you have these symptoms for extended periods.
