Hello,
(i am female 46, 123 lbs.)
after searching the forum and doing some
reading, I decided to use this site.
I have been feeling dizzy also for about 4
months.
Otherwise I have been healthy, I haven't
been sick for quite awhile.
Just small colds or allergies, some sinus
from flowers and pollen. I usually use
cold medicine to relieve it, then it
passes.
When I go to bed, the bed spins. If I
just prop my pillow, then relax, the room
spins, I close my eyes, and feel like I
want to pass out in bed when this happens.
At work, I can be sitting, then when I
stand, I have to sit back down because I
feel like I am on an elevator that just
stopped suddenly.
This isn't all day long, just little
spells at work, I have learned to become
slower getting up, but at night it has
been every night for about 4 months.
Since I was about 17, I have had tinitus.
As the years go on, it worsens.
I don't know how I got tinitus, I never
worked where it is loud, or ever listened
to loud music.
My mother says that maybe a medicine I
took when I was younger did this. (i used
to get bladder infections alot when I was
a teenager, hospitalized with iv's.) it
has been very hard to get to sleep at
night since it has been getting worse, I
try to concentrate on the tone to finally
get some sleep.
I'm not sure if the dizziness/spinning,
falling - feeling has anything to do with
the tinitus. I have read information
about vertigo, but I am not sure that this
is the reason for my symptoms.
I am going to see a doctor next week to
get some help. I would have went sooner,
but my medical insurance just got accepted
so I am taking advantage of it.
Can anyone respond before I go to the
doctor?
Thanks,
susan

The spinning feeling sounds like vertigo
to me. I only know this because I have
post concussion and the neurologist wasn't
sure if I had vertigo or if I was dizzy
from the trauma. I felt more of a light
headed dizzy at the ent when he had me lay
down and focus on his nose. He said with
vertigo you feel like spinning.. I don't
know if it would have anything to do with
your tinitus.
