Re: dizzy and scared

I was getting dizzy every time I layed down...especially when I turned on my left side. Then when I would roll over to get out of bed I would see the ceiling moving really fast. Another time I got up out of bed and lost all balance and felt like I was going down hill. I actually couldn't stop myself from going forward rather quickly until I slammed into the wall. (That hurt!) I was scared to death as you can imagine. I had a brain MRI and all was fine. Went to see my Primary doc and found out it was positional vertigo. It's gone now and hasn't come back. Here's hoping you too have positional vertigo. Good luck on Tues., I'll be keeping you in my prayers.
