Need Treatment For Dizziness
Hi I am 72 and this seems to be my second bout of getting dizzy when turning on my right side in bed. I had it for a few months about a year ago and it went away. Now it seems to be a little worse and I am in my second month of it happening this time. y husband checked and my pupils don t seemd to dialate well don t seem to shrink when holding a flashlight to my eyes.

Welcome to hcm,
Dizziness associated with change in posture with light headedness and loss of stability is vertigo. Neck muscle weakness also cause such thing
It is treated by doing dome exercises to strengthen your neck muscles. And having medications such as cinnarizine. And avoiding cold exposure to your ears.
Hope this explains.
With regards
Dr.Amarnath
