What Causes Nausea And Dizziness While Lying Down?
Hi, I am experiencing a drunkeness feeling and nausea when I lie down in bed at night. Sometimes during the day I have had dizzy spells too but not for a while. When I was younger I used to have blackouts, after speaking to a lady I met today at a hospital visit for something else, we got talking and she told me she had experienced these exact same things, and she only found out by chance after having investigations for something else that she has a brain tumour. My sister has also had a brain tumour. I am worried about this, can you help?
Nausea or vomitting occuring specially while laying in bed or bending down can be feature of raised intracranial pressure. Few brain tumors are genetically associated, but not all. as you have problems while you lay down in bed, i advise you to undergo MRI Brain and also MR Venogram of brain and fundus examination by opthalmologist to look for papilledema.
