Hi Cristina. Although you are relatively young, you cannot exclude conditions like an impending stroke. It can present with symptoms similar to what you have described for weeks or months before an actual stroke occurs. Of course, this is just one possibility and a very serious condition. Hopefully it is something less serious, like postural hypotension (low blood pressure with changes in body position), conditions like Meniere’s disease or an inner ear infection. However, it could also be more serious like a stroke as mentioned and other equally serious and even life-threatening conditions. The only way to know for sure is to have it checked by your doctor.

Hi Ashley. You definitely need to get this checked out. It may be unrelated to your car accident 5 years ago – those symptoms could have been due to a concussion or post-concussion syndrome. What you may be experiencing now may be due to an entirely different condition. This could be what’s known as postural hypotension where the blood pressure does not adapt as rapidly to the change in position (from lying down to standing up). But it could also be due to other more serious conditions which only your doctor will be able to diagnose.

thank you now i know what caused it

I would get vertigo so severe I could not even sit up I would fall and throw up! Xanax Xr is the only thing that worked and my dr. Thought it was brought on by stress and I thought he said a defect in the inner ear. My daughter had been very sick and I did not know what was wrong so that was part of the issue. I took for two years and then weaned myself off and have been fine for a few years. Meclizine makes me sick!!!

Howdy, she just got back all sorts of results including some sort of massive blood tests. Nothing at all was even close to abnormal. I think a major body can of some sort is now being asked for
