Hi, for the past two days i have been very dizzy.  i awoke yesterday morning to find that i couldnt sit up.  everytime i did the room spun so much i had to lay back down quickly.  Throughout lastnight i kept awake as the room was doing cartwheels.  I had left ear ache on Saturday but put it down to the cold weather, then couldnt move Sunday am. Any ideas?
Hello dear, The symptoms as mentioned in your post can be attributed to pathology in the Vestibular Apparatus in inner ear (it is associated with maintenance of body posture & balance) most probably Labyrinthine or Benign Paroxysmal Positional Vertigo. Symptomatic relief can be obtained with intake of Vestibular sedatives like Betahistine or Linearizing preparations (to be taken only under the guidance of a Physician). If it still persists, then you need to consult your Physician/ ENT Specialist & get a complete clinical examination done. Investigations like estimation of blood pressure, blood sugar levels, serum electrolytes & vestibular function tests will be required to rule out any pathological cause for the symptoms. There is no need to worry, you will be fine. Till then, maintain adequate HY Chat Doctor. And also take precautions of getting up from bed slowly & avoid sudden head movements. Wishing you a Good Health. Take care.
