Dizzy when lay down on right side

A question that I frequently hear from my patients is “ Why do I have dizziness when lying down or rolling over?”

The answer is that, very commonly, people who are suffering with BPPV, or Benign Paroxysmal Positional Vertigo often complain of dizziness when they lie down or roll over in bed.

BPPV is the most common vestibular disorder or the most common “inner ear condition that causes dizziness.”

This can affect them at any time when they are lying down or rolling over in bed, but often people with BPPV complain that it is worse in the morning.

What to Do if you are feeling dizziness when lying down and rolling over

So if you are suffering from feeling dizziness when lying down and rolling over in bed, I highly recommend for you to be evaluated by a Vestibular Physical Therapist or Vertigo Doctor, which you can find using the website Vestibular.org.

That’s the Vestibular Disorders Association where you can search for a provider by geography, who specializes in this type of dizziness and its resolution.
