What Could Cause Sudden Spells Of Dizziness?

About 3 days ago I have noticed I ve been getting spells of dizziness, the backs of my eyes are sore when I move them, and I was nauseated the first 2 days but not now. It feels better when I lay down, when I switch positions on the bed and my head moves the dizziness also occurs. But it s difficult to get up and move around feeling like this. What can be wrong with me?

Hello and thanks for using HCM.

I have read your question and understand your concerns.

Sudden spells of dizziness related to head position, if last for seconds, are related to a condition known as benign paroxysmal vertigo, a dysfunction of the inner ear.

Another possibility of your concerns, if you are above 50 years old, is high blood pressure or blood pressure changes.

There is need to monitor your blood pressure for a couple of days and if any abnormal values, consult your primary care Doctor.

If dizzy spells repeat, consider consulting an ENT Doctor.

Hope you found the answer helpful.

Greetings.
