What Causes Dizzy Spells Along With Weakness In Legs?

I have made an appointment for this week, but curious as to what may be going on with me. I am 44 year old female. Once a month I wake up in the middle of the night to get sick (thick like could choke on it). I have recently experienced severe leg issues where the hip didn t hurt and neither did the leg yet it was a real struggle to put any weight on it or to get out of vehicles. I was fine unless I turned a certain direction and then felt like falling (though I didn t). Yesterday morning I started getting momentarily severely dizzy. Felt like my head was spinning and stomach was up in my throat. I have not gone through menopause. I am a smoker. And do not drink sufficient water. Can you give me any insight as to what might be going on?

This is caused by some nerve having been pressurised by compression and/or blood vessels compression in lower limb area and also that of cervical region possibly possibly.

Lesser blood to brain may cause dizziness and vertigo but its transient and momentary. If it persists, its cause if concern.

Awaking in the middle with getting sick denotes regurgitation like symptoms. Could lead to acid reflux, reflux oesoophagitis etc. Avoid late night and spicy food.

For dizziness and leg numbness learn yogic postures and practice 30 minutes daily. Have long walk. Do deep breathing exercises.

It WILL help you 100%.
