What Causes Dizzy Spells In Morning After A Night Out?
Hi
I have been getting a few dizzy spells lately. It now appears that this happens after a night out. Although I do not drink excessively but the next day I get progressively dizzier and this generally lasts from 1 - 9 days. It is mostly when I bend down or lie down. Initially I was told it was an inner ear infection but I had an M.O.T. before Christmas and my blood sugar level was 6.5. I am having a glucose test tomorrow. Could it be diabetes that is causing the problem.

Hi
This problem also may be due to postural hypotension
When you awake in morning and get out of bed, the blood pooled in legs and causing decrease cardic output and little blood supply in brain and cause dizziness.
To prevent it dont standup suddenly from bed and wearing stocking is also an option.
