Hello, I am new on here although I have been reading the message boards for a few years.
I was wondering how many of you experience regular dizziness, and whether there is something specific that causes it, or if you've found any solution?
I sometimes work as an art model and it's very hard for me because I get dizzy... it also happens often in the morning a few hours after waking up, and sometimes when I exercise.

Have you gone to an Ear/Nose/Throat doctor to see if you have an inner ear problem? Also, a pinch nerve in the neck can do it which a good chiropractor could fix. It could also be dehydration. You might not be drinking enough clear fluids, about 40 - 60 oz per day. Electrolytes maybe out of balance by a bad diet which means drinking fluids won't help much until the electrolytes are balanced. These are only suggestions of possible causes. B12 deficiency can cause this also.

I have vertigo - diagnosed. I can't let water get in my ears and can't lay down flat. The room spins! I take Meclizine when I get my vertigo attacks and sometimes it can last for weeks! Then it seems to go away for a while and come back. I noticed that when the barometric pressure in the air changes I have a problem. Sometimes I feel "wishy washy" and a feeling of "medicine head". It's annoying and unfortunately I have to live with it but if I'm careful I seem to do fine. Good luck.

Thanks for your responses! I have a doctor appointment on Monday so I will ask her about it. I drink a lot of fluids, so it shouldn't be that, and I think the last time I got tested I had enough B12... so it could be one of the other things.
