Dizziness, Feel Of Room Spinning. Vertigo? Cure?

I am 90 years old - just saw my own doctor last week and everything was fine I don't have to see him again until October. I have suddenly been dizzy getting up from sleep all night. I always get up very, very, slowly. But my head starts spinning. Also I have noticed when I have laid down and my head is on my pillow I feel like the room is spinning. Do I have Vertigo? I have never felt this way before.

Hello,
Thanks for the query to H.C.M. Forum.
This is disturbed ambulation due to this patient feels dizziness,
This is actually mild degree lightheadedness with impaired sensation from the feet particularly in elderly patient.
Even we call it benign dysequilibrium of aging.
Otherwise there is no problems of deafness or related to ears or nausea ,so most probable reason is dizziness.
Consult a geriatric physician and get his opinion regarding about this.
However blood for lipid profile, sugar, may help you.
Good luck.
