spinning out in bed even though i'm not drunk

[cyteen]

just wondering if anyone else has had this...fairly frequently atm, when i go to bed at night and close my eyes i start spinning out exactly the way you do when you're throwing a whitey, except that i haven't been drunk or anything else for an entire year. should i be concerned or is this just part and parcel of new parenthood?

i have been feeling very flat and lifeless lately, perhaps my iron is low or something.

inner ear infection?

vertigo?

vertigo?

labryinthitus, I had it is vile, inner ear infection. see the doctor they can give you something to help with the virtigo.

I get like this when very very very tired.
Eat some steak and spinach tomorrow incase it's iron and try to catch up on sleep if tired. Drink extra water? See a doctor? hope it stops.It's horrible.

interesting. i thought any ear problem was always accompanied by searing pain - is it possible to have these things and not be in agony?

I suppose inner ear infection would coincide with being tired and run down so perhaps that's what I used to have too.

Ear infections not nec painful. Had them and just felt dizzy, sick etc but not actual pain. More strong discomfort and horribleness.

ear infection - spinning and feeling like all the air has been let out so to speak.and yes you can have it and just feel crap rather than in pain

Labyrinthitis, probably. If you stand (or sit) still and close your eyes, do you feel like you're doing somersaults? If so, yes, it's labyrinthitis. Not worth treating unless it's making you puke.

I think coffee can make it worse. Try to avoid turning your head sharply.

I get this after any head cold.

I had this postnatally too, it was worse if I suddenly went from a brightly lit room to a dark one and from very active to lying down etc.

The only way I stopped it was going to bed with a dim lamp on and sitting propped up before gradually lying down. I still have no idea what caused it for me.
