What Causes Dizziness In The Morning?

I awoke this morning on my side and turned onto my back. All at once, as I opened my eyes, the room was turning round and round, as if I were drunk (but I do not drink at all). It passed in about a minute, but I was a bit unsteady on my feet for another minute or so. Then I felt fine. I am a 77 y.o. male in good health otherwise. Could this be a TIA?

Hello, my name is Dr.Dorina Gurabardhi. I understand your concern.
There are many reasons that cause dizziness in the morning. It can be :
-Inner ear problems that cause dizziness (vertigo)
-Circulation problems that cause dizziness such as
* Drop in blood pressure.
*Poor blood circulation. Conditions such as cardiomyopathy, heart attack, heart arrhythmia etc
-Low iron levels (anemia).
-Low blood sugar (hypoglycemia).
-Dehydration
So to find the cause you have to do some examinations such as a blood test, urinalysis,an Xray and an EKG.
The treatment depend on the cause.
