Is positional vertigo dangerous?what are the causes for such a vertigo?

Vertigo causes please?

  • I woke up one day and the room was spinning and spinning out of control for several seconds. It was no ordinary dizziness. I sleep without a pillow and I wanted to know if this could be a cause of this suspected vertigo; I always sleep stomach down without a pillow. Also can anyone shed some enlightenment on what else could be causing me to feel this way. It is the second time it happened since last month! Im going to my physician next week. Thanks so much.

  • Answer:

    Low blood pressure when sleeping elevating too fast when waking, your heart "sleeps" too, and might be a deal they'd want to investigate at the Center for Sleep Studies, or already have your answer.

If it is happening throughout the day then it could be an inner ear infection which will cause your sense of balance to get screwy and cause vertigo. If it only seems to be happening when you get up, then it is probably some sort of deficiency causing vertigo when you suddenly change elevation, ie getting up or laying down. Try getting up very slowly in the morning to help reduce the vertigo.

probaly just sick

Vertigo Causes Vertigo can be caused by problems in the brain or the inner ear. * Benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (BPPV) is the most common form of vertigo and is characterized by the sensation of motion initiated by sudden head movements. * Vertigo may also be caused by inflammation within the inner ear. This is known as labyrinthitis. This condition is characterized by the sudden onset of vertigo and may be associated with hearing loss. * Meniere disease is composed of a triad of symptoms: episodes of vertigo, ringing in the ears, and hearing loss. People have the abrupt onset of severe vertigo, fluctuating hearing loss, as well as periods in which they are symptom-free. * Acoustic neuroma is a type of tumor causing vertigo. Symptoms include vertigo with one-sided ringing in the ear and hearing loss. * Vertigo can be caused by decreased blood flow to the brain and base of the brain. Bleeding into the back of the brain is known as cerebellar hemorrhage and is characterized by vertigo, headache, difficulty walking, and inability to look toward the side of the bleed. The result is that the person's eyes gaze away from the side with the problem. Walking is also extremely impaired. * Vertigo is often the presenting symptom in multiple sclerosis. The onset is usually abrupt, and examination of the eyes may reveal the inability of the eyes to move past the midline toward the nose. * Head trauma and neck injury may also result in vertigo, which usually goes away on its own. * Migraine, a severe form of headache, may also cause vertigo. The vertigo is usually followed by a headache. There is often a prior history of similar episodes but no lasting problems.

hi there, you have my total sympathy cause i suffered from this myself years back..... it can be a few things being overly stressed out breathing too fast low blood sugar too much sugar like a sugar rush low blood pressure inner ear infection or something with ear drum i had all tests done mine came done to being over stressed and anxious..... stand up somewhere that you can catch yourself i you start to fall, now close your eyes and lift one leg up by bending at the knee (like a flamingo) if you can stand that way for a few seconds that's a good thing and might mean its just nerves, if you fall could be your inner ear.......when you do this be sure to be near something you can hold on to so you dont get hurt..... see if you can do this exercise......sit upright on a comfy chair or couch....do neck rolls, put your chin down to your chest and roll your towards your left or right shoulder which ever direction you prefer leaning your head back and in a circle.....yes it will make you dizzy but the point is to build up your resistance to the dizziness also if there is any fluid in your ear it might jiggle it away make sure you are drinking at least 64 oz of water a day stay away from caffeine and alot of sugar vertigo can come from thinking of too many thoughts and things at once, learn to meditate to calm your mind........ you could have allergies too, do you have hayfever, that can make you feel dizzy too cause it affects your sinuses i hope all goes well at the dr, feel free to email and let me know what he/she says [email protected] best wishes
