starting on sunday night i have been randomly waking up in the middle of the night one or two times being pretty dizzy, but nothing serious enough to be painful or cause nausea. this past night i slept fine, woke up at 6:30am and had to go to the restroom, still felt fine, and went back to sleep until my alarm at 7:45.
i woke up about one minute before my alarm and i was so dizzy i thought i was about to throw up. the entire room was spinning and i actually felt the worst i've probably ever felt in my life. i got up and the dizziness went away rather quickly, but it's been 3 hours now and i still feel nauseaous and i get a little dizzy here and there too. i have trouble moving my head a lot as well.
my dad had vertigo very bad a few years ago. i've only gotten one bout of vertigo before and it was about 5 years ago and it only lasted a few hours. what i have now seems to have been building up since sunday night and hit a peak this morning, or is about to get worse.
my father told me to take mic-something hydrochloride, which is what his doctor prescribed. i would get up and look at what it's called exactly, but i don't feel good enough to make that walk. i took one and i feel better, but not great. i am getting tired and i will doze off for a few seconds and every time i wake myself up i am dizzy (nothing as bad as this morning).
why is my dizziness getting worse when i wake from a sleep? does it sound like i have vertigo? will that medicine help vertigo go away? anything else i can do? thanks.
