What Causes Dizziness At Night?
My sister just called to tell me they won t be down tonight for Thanksgiving prep. My brother-in-law has been dizzy all night such that she has to help him to the bathroom and he can t get out of bed on his own or even walk. He was sweating profusely last night. I told her to get him to the ER to check this out. Could be a virus or ear problem, but could be CV problem. I can t believe he didn t go last night. He s 67. Can t ignore symptoms such as this at our age!

Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
The symptoms of acute onset dizziness may be due to vestibular neuronitis or posterior circulation stroke. Examination by a doctor is advisable as stroke needs urgent management.
