Title: Dizziness / vertigo
Post by: shrosphirelass on December 26, 2020, 05:30:39 PM
I woke up in the night and got up to go to the toilet. The world was swimming and I had to hold on to the wall to get there. This has persisted throughout the day, but not quite so severe, but I can't go out or do anything. It feels better if I lie down. Anyone else experienced this?

Yep.

Have you had a head cold recently?  Also, getting out of bed suddenly can cause inner ear unpleasantness.

Yes, mine was an inner ear infection. It can be a meno symptom too but probably more likely inner ear. Google labyrinthitis.
