What Causes Acute Dizziness And Nausea?

Yesterday I woke up and bent over to pick something up. I got so dizzy and couldn't recover then I fell. This morning I woke up with the bed spins out of my sleep. I also have nausea. The nausea has continued 1 1/2 hours later and can't walk a straight line. It almost feels like I have been drinking. Should I be concerned? I never experienced anything like this before

HI
Thanks for posting your query to Healthcaremagic .

Dizziness could be due to low or high BP , Low or high Blood sugars , Anemia , Abnormal sodium levels in blood , Thyroid problems , Inner ear problems , Heart or Brain Problems .

But in your case the Dizziness that started in a particular position indicates more towards Inner ear problems . There is no need to be concerned but you need to consult an ENT specialist for this . Ask him to do Dix Hallpike maneuver and treat accordingly .

Hope this answers your query .
Any clarifications or Queries feel free to ask.
Happy to help you.
Regards.

HI
Well come to HCM
Two strong possibilities are very likely one is due to hyperacidity and second vertigo could be due to labyrinthitis, if I would be treating doctor then I would treat this with Tab Omeprazole 40 mg once in day, Tab Bitahistine three times in day, have a rest, hope this information helps.
