Dizzy Spells, Balance Problems. Treatment?
ok. I'm nervous. For the last couple of days I have these dizzy spells. When I lie down in bed they start right away. I move in the bed like turn over it happens again. When I wake up in the morning and get out of bed they start once more. My balance is off. I sometimes just sit down and the feeling starts to arise. I don't know what to do

Hello dear,
The symptoms can be due to:
1. Any pathology in the Vestibular apparatus in inner ear (which maintains balance)
2. Fluctuation in blood pressure & blood sugar levels
3. Inadequate hydration, nutrition & electrolyte imbalance.
Symptomatic relief can be obtained with vestibular sedatives like Betahistine preparations.
Investigations like complete blood count, electrolyte assay, estimation of blood pressure, blood sugar levels & MRI brain will be helpful in detecting any pathological cause.
Take care.
