What Causes Dizziness And Spinning On Waking Up?

I woke up out of a deep sleep and when I opened my eyes it I was so dizzy the room was spinning. I was lying on my right side. When I lifted my head off the pillow and tried to stare and concentrate on a spot on the wall it slowed down and stopped. What could cause this?

Hello. I have been throigh your question and understand your concern.

Your symptoms fit to a benign positional paroxysmal vertigo. It is a self limitting condition which can last from several days to weeks. Betahystine 24 mg per day can help recover early.

Dont worry. It is a total benign condition.

Hope this helps. Best regards
