Patient Question
Hello Doctor,
I feel dizzy and nauseous when lying down, and I feel unsteady when standing straight for too long. I also feel like I’m floating or dizzy when lying down. What could this be?

Hello,
Thank you for reaching out to Dr. Galen. Please find the below response to your query.
This might be caused by an issue in your inner ear, leading to peripheral vertigo. It can be diagnosed clinically, and in some cases, further investigations might be needed. Typically, it’s a benign condition, but be cautious to avoid sudden falls that could result in injury.
Thanks
