What Causes Dizziness Throughout The Day?
I have been feeling a little dizzy all day. But I have been fine. I came in to my room to lay down and could feel my lungs, and chest getting tighter and was unable to breath. I switched position to laying on my side and same thing happened, again I moved, this time to my back and was still suffering with pain and no being able to breath. It felt like the wind was being knocked out of me each time. I went to stand up and felt really dizzy, layed back down on my stomach and the pain is in my back now

Hi,
Welcome to health care magic,
I have read all your query and understand the issue.
Dizziness even in sitting position is concerning.
Here,it could be due to variety of causes or it could be transient.
Kindly tell me 'Do you have any other symptoms with this dizziness'?
Perhaps if the dizziness is not troubling your day to day work, then you may wait for few days.
Until then you may take proper hydration and electrolyte balance with some symptomatic antihistamines treatment like betahistidine but do not get panic.
However if the problem is persistent, you should see a doctor at the earliest and get evaluated further.
I will suggest you undergo routine blood count, ESR, blood electrolytes, tests for vestibular (balance) system like electronystagmography or rotation tests to diagnose the cause for dizziness.
Your local physician or GP will know about the test.
He/she will can order the test after complete history and thoroughly clinical examination like temperature, pulse, blood pressure which will enable us to arrive a diagnosis.
Treatment is mainly depend on the underlying cause.
Regards,
