M, no prior history of this. I’d occasionally get nauseous/dizzy just sitting down at restaurants like as soon as i sat and got heavy dizziness and nausea , no clear reason — not sure if that’s related at all. Then about a week ago, after 5 days straight of golfing/football in the heat (probably not hydrating enough) and getting drunk with friends a few days before that, I woke up with sudden dizziness/nausea — worst triggers were lifting my head from lying down and sitting down and sitting in cars or driving, both would cause an instant wave that settled after 30 sec to a min but always left unease

Took Dramamine which helped a lot, stayed hydrated, and did one Epley maneuver session (with my girlfriend helping, held each position 60 sec) about 4-5 days ago. Had a big improvement right after — no more actual spinning since or dizziness crazy since then

Since then it’s been a gradual climb: felt about 75% better a couple days ago, now feel around 80-90% better No more room-spinning, no pain, vitals normal. What’s left: some mild head fog, occasional “off” feeling in my vision (not blurry, just not 100% sharp), and I notice it more specifically when I go out (driving, stores, gas station) versus resting at home but it’s always low- mild I’ve been resting inside a lot this past week (also gaming a lot), so not sure if what’s left is genuine residual BPPV stuff or just being out of practice with normal movement/activity after a week of low stimulation.

Does this sound like normal residual recovery, or does the “only when I go out” pattern seem off to you all? Trying to figure out if I should keep easing back into normal activity

it’s been about 4 days, i did the epley maneuver yesterday and felt 10x better, just lingering symptoms, not nauseous just head heavy and little dizzy, anything else i could do? do i do the epley maneuver consistently?

20M, 5’10. So two days ago out of nowhere I started getting really dizzy and nauseous pretty much 95% of yesterdayX specifically when I lift my head up after laying down — like an instant wave of dizzy/nausea feeling that goes away after like 30 seconds to a minute. Also happens a bit when I sit down from standing. No pain though, feel fine otherwise. Before this started I’d been golfing and playing football outside in the heat for 5 days straight, probably wasn’t drinking enough water. Hadn’t had alcohol in like 4 days before this started so don’t think that’s it. I checked my blood pressure/pulse/blood sugar at home and they were all normal (137/70, 78bpm, 98 sugar). I took a Dramamine (the less drowsy kind) and it actually helped a lot within a few hours, plus drinking Gatorade and moving slower when I get up. No headache, chest pain, ringing in ears, blurry vision, numbness, or fever or anything like that. Just wondering if this sounds like it could be that inner ear crystal thing (BPPV) since it seems to be triggered by moving my head/position, and if I should be worried or if it’s fine to just keep an eye on it since it’s already getting better.

I’m majoring in a bachelor’s degree for criminal justice and a minor in legal studies for ME, i know it’s definitely not required but it’s been a goal of mine, however when i graduate in 2 years i was going to apply for the academy, i don’t use weed a lot, especially recently maybe ONCE in a while. should i completely stop now and not do anything? only scared for the polygraph test. thanks
