What Causes Dizziness When Walking, Sitting, Standing And Lying Down?
Hi Dr, I have just taken up a new hobby, I am on the trampoline for 1-2hrs at a time and after my last session I have become dizzy at random points when walking around, standing, sitting and laying down! This has been going in for 2days now on and off. Have i coursed some damage or is it am inner ear issue? Never had anything like this before and never get motion sickness. Thanks for your help
I went through your details. Equilibrioception or sense of balance is one of the physiological senses. It helps prevent humans and animals from falling over when walking or standing still. Balance is the result of a number of body systems working together. The eyes (visual system), ears (vestibular system) and the body's sense of where it is in space (proprioception) ideally need to be intact. The vestibular system, the region of the inner ear where three semicircular canals converge, works with the visual system to keep objects in focus when the head is moving. This is called the vestibulo-ocular reflex.
I don't think there is anything to worry. it is just your new hobby. The ups and downs in trampoline definitely affects your balance because it affects the vestibulo-ocular reflex. This habitual reflex stays there till it gets used to it. Could take a week or more of continuous habitual practice. Don't worry.
