Brief and intermittent dizzy spells.

[ShotsFired]

In the past few weeks I have noticed I keep having random, very brief dizzy spells. I had one just now (which prompted me to post).

They happen, and it's like I notice afterwards, that my head has just spun for a few seconds, then everything is perfectly fine again.

I have a desk job so I'm usually sitting down quite still when they occur. My eyes are fine, I feel fit and well, no known medical conditions, not particularly stressed or anything. It's so odd.

Google isn't helping as it's only coming up with conditions related to more "serious" and ongoing dizziness, for example with diabetes symptoms (which was one thing I wondered about). It seems ridiculous to call the Dr and ask about a condition that is intermittent and so brief in duration.

Anyone got any suggestions?

It sounds like BPPV.

I'd recommend googling the Epley Manoeuvre and get a trusted friend or partner to do it on you.

This works usually after the first go.

I have BPPV and my DH is now a dab hand at doing the treatment!

With me it's sinus related. I've got sinusitis at the moment and I've had the head spinny thing a couple of times today.

I had similar and following lots of tests discovered I had an under active thyroid. Go to your doctor and get some advice.

Have you had any answers and are you still experiencing this? I’m going through exactly the same thing and came upon your post. K no ow you posted in 2017 - Really Hope you see this and can give me some help and answers!

@ShotsFired did you ever get to the bottom of this - I have similar
