my husband is having a dizzy spell. he is 69. just got home from working a long day. ate and was getting ready for bed when everything started to spin. laying down was worse. he looked white aroung the mouth and ears. has no pain but says he feels full and maybe naucious. sat up for a while and now laying down, not so dizzy but feels warm. this has not happened before. his only meds. are 1 high blood pressure pill.
As per your query tour husband has problem of dizziness specially on lying down . Well the symptoms you mention in query are pointing towards a condition known as Benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (BPPV) . There can be many causes responsible for this condition like inner ear infection , postural hypotention , hypoglycaemia , migraine and vertebrobasilar insufficiency. I would suggest you to consult ENT specialist for proper checkup . Doctor may order test like dix-Hallpike test , ENG , blood pressure and rotatory chair test . Doctor may recommend vestibular rehabilitation , prescribe anti emetic drugs and sedatives .
Hope your concern has been resolved.
Get Well Soon. Best Wishes, Dr. Harry Maheshwari
