Hi,
Thanks for writing in.

Its possible you have benign paroxysmal positional vertigo. Benign positional vertigo (BPPV) is the most common cause of vertigo. This is intense dizziness due after getting up from bed. It is important that you consult an ENT specialist and confirm if you have this condition. This happens when there are specific changes in the position of your head, such as tipping your head up or down, and by lying down, turning over or sitting up in bed. You may also feel out of balance when standing or walking. The doctors will do some tests to examine your inner ear and balance mechanism. Please do not move about when you get spells of dizziness as that can cause falls and injury.
