Brief Answer:
vertigo
Detailed Answer:
Thanks for contacting HCM with your health care concerns
You are describing what we call benign positional vertigo. It is very similar to seasickness and motion sickness without the travel. We treat the dizziness with antihistamines. The most common antihistamine we use is called antivert and you need to get that from your doctor. If you can't see your doctor you can tray any of the antihistamines like zyrtec but may not be as helpful. Other options include a scopolamine patch like we use for sea sickness and this also needs to be ordered through your doctor.

Thank you and I stayed in bed and drank a little soda and took 2 gasX pills and 2 hours later I was much better... Now am fine... This is a mystery to me.
I have a continual night cough and burping as well after I eat or cough and yesterday I had 3 hours of dizziness and had to lie down until it finally went away.

Thank you for using HCM with your health care concerns and I am glad to hear that you are feeling better. The most likely diagnosis is benign postural vertigo and this happens out of the blue all the time
