What Is The Reason For The Blood Rushing Feeling When Slept On Stomach And Vertigo If On My Back?
HI, For weeks now when I lay down on my stomach I get a blood rushing feeling to my head and I hear swooshing in my ears. It is followed by ringing in my ears, dizziness and nausea but not always. But I also get the vertigo feeling if I am lying on my back and turn my head to my left. Any suggestions?

Hi,
Thank you for posting your query.
I have noted your symptoms and they are suggestive of peripheral vertigo due to ear involvement.
The most likely cause i your case could be BPPV- benign paroxysmal positional vertigo, where vertigo and nausea are brought on by change of head and neck positions.
You should consult an ENT surgeon for evaluation.
As of now, you can take betahistine tablets for symptoms relief.
I hope my answer helps. Please get back if you have any follow up queries or if you require any additional information.
Wishing you good health,
