Keep having dizzy spells where I am also unsteady on my feet, when waking up in the morning.
I don't get these any other time, say I lie down for an extended period and get up for something, I'll be fine.
Caught me off guard for the first time Tuesday so instead of just sitting down like you think you would in that situation I just stumbled about upstairs trying to get myself ready for work.
No alcohol or drugs before anyone pipes up.
Could this be vertigo? Is it worth booking an appointment with the doctor?

Have you taken your blood pressure?

Re: Keep having dizzy spells where I am also unsteady on my feet, when waking up in the morning.
Could be a problem with your inner ear,had a bad problem with my sinuses and used to get dizzy if i bend over to pick things up.

No, but everything seems fine, apart from when I get up in the morning and have spells of dizziness. Doesn't affect me exercising or being at work, even when at height.

Have a history of earaches (not for a couple of years thank ****) this could well be a factor. Although I don't have issues working at height or bending down and back up..strange one hence the post!!

It’s the fluid in your ears.
It acts like a spirit level, but sometimes it goes awry.
This is not a joke, I suffer from it.
Try these simple exercises to clear it up.
Sit down, stand up, sit down stand up, repeat about 30 times.
Then turn 180 degrees, then turn the other way again repeat about 20 times
Hopefully the fluid will right itself
This is not a joke, I have to do it myself
It might be on tinternet, but I’m not joking

How old are you? Sounds like loss of blood pressure. Heart murmur?

Re: Keep having dizzy spells where I am also unsteady on my feet, when waking up in the morning.
Could be dehydration. This can lead to dizziness when waking up.
Make sure you drink plenty of water several hours before going to sleep.

I love the fact that you've had to say 3 times that you're not joking :hehe:

Go and see your GP then come back and let us know what the doc says. Don't go on advice from unqualified people who you only know as supporters of the same football team.

Thank you.

I'll be phoning Monday first thing, obviously I won't be taking anything off here or Google as gospel, but it's good to put feelers out there and people usually have had similar experiences.

That's what the mattress is for. Need those 8 hours. Only idiots wake up to pee and lose out on sleep time.

Which is why I said 'several hours' before. Plenty of time to have a good pee before hitting the sack.
If you went out for a few beers in the evening does it mean you'd be "up pissing all night"?

Woke up fine today hence not rushing to call the doctor. If I was the same as previous day's it would have been the first thing I did.
I was up and out this morning, needed to be done.

Sounds like you have postural hypotension....sudden drop in blood pressure after standing up. My dad suffers from a chronic condition where he suddenly loses BP, goes beyond dizzy into a faint and has been known to fall and hit his head or fall and present as no longer breathing. I say "present" as the paramedics, who attended him on several occasions, reckoned he could be breathing but very shallow. In my books if your BP is 40 odd over 20 odd and the chest isn't rising and falling and there is no sign of air going in and out.....you've stopped breathing and its CPR time.
What's causing hypotension is another matter. Get it checked ASAP. You could go for months with nothing happening, forget about it and then regret it.

Re: Keep having dizzy spells where I am also unsteady on my feet, when waking up in the morning.
Still sounds like low blood pressure to me. Check it and compare the results against this chart here:
https://www.nhs.uk/conditions/high-b...-hypertension/
If you haven't a blood pressure monitor buy one. They are inexpensive. Every home should have one.

Dont muck about go and see the GP. Probably postural hypotension, but worth checking out.

Re: Keep having dizzy spells where I am also unsteady on my feet, when waking up in the morning.
Get it checked out. I've got high blood pressure (despite 3 different pills) & vertigo, also do the "daddy dance" as the kids call it. Knees buckle, light headed, dizzy. Get it checked.
On the blood pressure monitor, go as expensive as you can afford, the cheap ones are useless. Also get a wide cuff not a narrow one, they give far too many false readings.

I agree that you must see the GP. Initially all he/she is likely to do is tell you to monitor blood pressure on a machine he/she will loan you. However my suggestion was that may save at least a week before arriving at a diagnosis.
PS. I suffer from this problem and my GP is trying to get my blood pressure tablets right. Too high a dose causes low blood pressure and dizziness and feeling feint when you get up.

Dizzyness first thing in the morning could be a blood sugar level problem ie diabetes.

I don't plan on letting it go or forgetting about it, just doing it tomorrow instead of today.
I used to faint in school 20 years ago always in assembly bunched up all hot..
I hope your dad is ok, that sounds horrible to live with.
