Hello, the following started last year but has become very frequent recently..... when I lie down flat on my back my eyes cross and i go dizzy and a tightness appears in my head. When i sit up and shake my head it goes away. My blood pressure has been controlled for 14yrs now and i have been on meds for that time. I am 48. I have developed a ringing in my ears. thanks Cat
Hi Dear, As per your query you have dizziness and tightness in the head when lying down flat. Well there can be many reasons for vertigo, by the most common is anxiety and the other Benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (BPPV) are ear infection, hypoglycemia, anemia, deniers disease, migraine and alteration in the bloods circulation. I would suggest you to consult ENT specialist for proper examination. Doctor may order test like rotatory chair test, head movement test, posturography and CT scan. Doctor may prescribe antiemetic Chat Doctor.  For now do not bend forward and
