Was Tired And Hungry, Ate Pasta And Went To Bed. Felt Room Was Spinning Very Fast. Suggest?

I came home from work and was tired and hungry. I ate pasta and pesto and went to bed, after about 5 min. I abruptly woke up, opened my eyes and looked up and the room gradually started spinning, I tried to shut my eyes and make it better but when I reopened them the spinning was faster. I sat up and it felt better but scared me. I took a shower and live about 45 min from a hospital and don't want to go.

Hello,
The symptoms which you have mentioned is basically dizziness probably because of hypoglycemic effect because of hungry.
It is common to find dizziness because of long hours of working without taking food and also when you woke up suddenly you can come across this problem.
Hence I advice you to take rest and adequate food you will be fine.
Thank you
