What Can Cause Dizziness In A Sitting Position?
I am having dizzy spells, mostly when I am sitting or reclining...it seems when I turn to the right. I have had 2 brief ones standing again when I seemed to be turning my head the the right. I had a long one this evening, admittedly I was very hot (working outside) it lasted about 30 minutes I was standing had to sit down and it only subsided when I threw up. I am a 62 year old female. My doctor ran tests to check for diabetes, blood pressure and tests to check blood flow on either side of my neck. All okay he says it is probably inner ear but I would think that would make it happen all the time?

Hi,
It may be due to some disturbances in your inner ear like BPPV (positional vertigo) which lodges the balancing mechanism of your body.
You can consult an ENT specialist and be evaluated. As the first line of management, you can take Betahistine tablets for symptomatic relief.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
