What Causes Dizziness Inspite Of Getting Up Early?
I woke up too fast about three mornings ago and I felt dizzy for the rest of that day. I thought it would go away, but it did not. Now I still have the dizzy feeling, but only when I turn my head too fast. Is there something wrong or will it go away with time?

You probably have postural hypotension added with BPPV which is harmless and usualy self limiting.
Advised to practice "3 1/2 minutes," which are:
1. When waking from sleep, lie in bed for the 1st 1/2 minute;
2. Sit in bed for the next 1/2 minute;
3. Lower your legs, sitting on the edge of the bed for the last half-minute. After 3 x 1/2 minutes, you will not have anaemic brain and heart will not fail, reducing the possibility of a fall and sudden death.
if you still have vertigo you need to be tested and given medicines.
