Anyone else had this feeling of motion sickness before with a mixture of the feeling of a bad hang over ? (But without drinking ) Mornings are the worst I feel so unsteady on my feet and very fatigued and a bit giddy, feeling like I could sleep forever .. come around 5 Pm I start to wake up and feel a bit Normal
Should I see a doctor or wait it out
Thanks

Ear infections can make you feel like that or vertigo I would get checked out

Could be labrynthitis, or another ear infection. Worth checking with doctor, although it may be viral - I just had to ride mine out.

Ever been pregnant before? Sounds about right for the first few weeks/months.

Could be Labrynthitis - I sympathise as it’s a horrible feeling.

B12 deficiency makes me feel dizzy and disorientated. See if you GP will do some blood tests

Doctor. There's lots of possible causes, so get it checked properly.
Keep your fluid intake up, that can sometimes help with the symptoms (and is a generally good idea).

I was thinking labrynthitis as well. Sickness, spinning, foggy head and unsteadiness. That's how it's affected me in the past.

Thank you , I was thinking it could be labrynthitis aswell :( had this before 10 years ago and lasted 6 weeks ... the tablets they put me on didn’t help I just had to ride it out
Definitely not pregnant . I just didn’t want to go to doctors just to get fobbed off and told it’s viral but I guess I will have to as I’m a single mum to 5 and struggling

Again I've had similar symptoms and put them down to viral. Had blood tests etc as it just dragged on and on some days I would be OK and some a few of the symptoms would return. Better to see the GP in any case even if you know that they will say virus!
