Ever wake up in the morning with random vertigo?

I get these spells where it feels like things are moving or sometimes everything is sideways.

Not when I first wake up. It happens to me fairly often when I am on my laptop. I start to see lightnings across my eyes, and next thing I know I feel vertigo when I move my head even slightly. I usually have to get up with one eye closed, hold onto things, and make my way carefully into the bedroom.

Lying flat usually cures it within 20 minutes or so.

@4meAndyou Have you looked into BPPV? I did the manuever last time and it helped. I tried it this time because they have an easy trick for it. My eyes were going all over the place and I wanted to vomit but it took away the vertigo within 10 mins.

@Juvia I had to look that up. The Mayo Clinic website made no mention of any maneuver.

@4meAndyou epley maneuver

@4meAndyou I got a lot of past head injuries from horseback riding so probably explains why it happens to me more frequently.

@Juvia Thanks for telling me about it. I have seen lightnings for a good part of my adult life...called visual migraines, but they got a lot worse after a car accident where I was rear ended...and ever since then I get the head positional vertigo once in a while. I will look up the epley maneuver.

@4meAndyou Oh yeah I get that too. I still get migraines but the vertigo seems to pop up like right in the morning. It's weird. But this seemed to help with that. Hopefully maybe it will help you. It's super easy too to do.
