dizzyness that wakes you up

Here's an old thread on this very subject. I hope there is something useful for you.

yes, that happened to me six months ago.

i was sound asleep, rolled over, and suddenly my head was spinning very fast.

it was scary as hell.

I called my PCP... he examined me and diagnosed it as a form of Vertigo called BPPV and sent me to an ENT.

the ENT tested my hearing, and then did a couple of Epley Maneuvers on me, which cured me.

unfortunately, the cure isn't necessarily permanent.

it came back a few months ago -- not as intense as the first one.

I went back to the ENT, and he gave me the cure.

it's important to understand that it is not serious, but that there is a risk of falling, and obviously dangerous if it happens while you are driving.

good luck...
