Sudden onset of....

[shelleyd2008]

dizziness? What gives? I don't have fever, though my temp is low--96.8--which kind of tells me that I will have a fever, a very high fever.

This started late last night, I thought I was just tired, but that's not it. Last night it was so bad, it was making me feel nauseous, this morning, it's not as bad yet.

I feel very heavy, and kind of 'swimmy'. The dizziness is not as bad as it was, but earlier this morning I had woken up, and as soon as I sat up in bed, the dizziness and nausea started in. That was about 5:30.

I do have a bit of a cough, but I smoke, so that's probably the reason for that.

So what would cause a sudden onset of severe dizziness, so bad that it causes nausea?

blood sugar level?

also inner ear infection - would cause the fever and the dizziness

I had that two weeks ago, inner ear infection, sinus infection and brochitis.

Go to your nearest express care if you can not get a hold of your family doctor.

Get your blood sugar checked..and also..what the others said..it could be inner ear. How are you feeling now?

The back of my neck/head feels 'swollen', but I don't notice any swollen glands back there. I'm not so much dizzy now, but I feel like I'm in a fog I guess. I guess it is still kind of dizziness, but not as bad as it was.

I just don't feel 'right', that's my problem!

Are you kidding? They close the whole town down on Friday at 4 pm, there's nothing open around here. And of course it's a holiday weekend, I don't know if the holiday will affect the dr. office or not.

All you can do is to call or go to the ER.
