Dizzy
Don't know what's wrong with me at the moment. Last night at work I just thought I was over heated, they will put the heating on and when you are working it gets very hot. Nearly fainted.Came home and took myself off to bed, got up in the night and became so dizzy on a trip to the loo I ended up on the floor.
Got up this morning and only really feel safe sitting here looking down at this screen as each time I look up the room swirls around and I feel like I'm going to fall over.
Luckily Nathan's day off so he took grace to school and has been making me teas.
Hope I feel better later I have work tonight !

Re: Dizzy
You'll have to get checked out if it carries on Julie, as it could be dodgy if you fall and hit your head or something.Maybe an ear problem like Labyrinthitis.

Re: Dizzy
Make an appointment with the doctor,Julie,my dizziness is caused by low blood pressure,they are trying to get my medication right,after my heart surgery,always best to seek a professional opinion,it could be ear trouble,as Mups posted,but always best to check it out with a doctor.

Re: Dizzy
I can get an appointment for the next day at my surgery.
It's all done online. At midnight about a dozen appointments for the next day are posted up on their website. I log on and choose which appointment I want & with whichever doctor I want.
It's such brilliant idea - not so good for people not on the internet though. They have to phone at 7.30 am for a same day appointment. if it's urgent they always get seen.
I would say yours if quite urgent Julie. You should not have to go to a walk in clinic & wait hours!!

Re: Dizzy
I agree with others. Sounds like Hypotension or Labyrinthitis.Had the latter myself a few times, it's pretty horrible. Had to lie of the floor on the spot once, just couldn't move for the room spinning, slowly crawled to the sofa managed to climb on and stayed there lying down for an hour.
If it's an ear related condition like that you should usually get a sense, however sleight, of which ear it is. It will feel different to the other imo.
if so, Google the EPLEY MANOUEVER and give it a try.
It's the most simple thing to do. It's uncomfortable as the room spins while you do it, but it is perfectly safe and it can clear the ear tubes of the crystals that cause the imbalance.
