Q: Feeling Dizzy
asked by: danart33 on January 16th, 2007

For about the past week or so I have had "room spinning" episodes when I lay down. It has also happened a couple of time when sitting & I stretch the room seems to feel like it is "spinning". I stood up out of bed about a week & half ago and almost fell to the floor as I could not find my balance. My history, about 2 weeks ago was in fight (rather not say w/who) expierenced facial swelling, left side of face bruised. Also expierenced being pulled around by hair with sudden forces. Not really having any pains anywhere in the last 3 days or so. No more swelling, black eye almost all gone. No real headaches(suffer from migranes). Do sometimes expierence burning feeling in back of head, but not all the time. Just mainly worried about room twirling around. More than 3 times a day this happens. Please give me an idea. I do not currently have medical insurance. Can not really afford to go to Dr. Or hospital unless it seems to be very serious. Thank you for all of your help in advance.

i think that this is very serious. Getting dizzy like this and actually falling when you have no prior history of these types of episodes sounds serious to me. See a doctor, your health is worth the money it will cost.

Sounds like vertigo- worth seeing your doc.

Many times vertigo (room spins, not you spinning as with dizziness) can be the result of fluid behind the ear drum. It may also be more serious so a trip to the doctor is prudent in this situation.
