	'Poly Doctors, Im scared Support Apolyton or Terrorists Win

Im sitting here on my computer and I turned me head to see what was on tv and I got really dizzy out of nowhere, it felt like I got punched really hard, sans the pain. No nausea or anything, just the spinning room and temporary loss of balance (had I been standing I would have fallen).

I havent had any caffiene, and I havent been doing any excercise. Im not dehydrated and I just got done eating breakfast.


Wtf?

Yes, but it wasnt a seizure, I just got really damn dizzy for a second or two.

The funny thing is Im watching ER and one of the patients is being checked for Epilepsy.

I wonder if my mind is playing tricks on me.

Probably a brief, inner-ear disturbance ... nothing more. It happens to me on rare occasions as well.

Gatekeeprers probably right, something like that happens to me once in a while as well, ussually after I stretch.

No reason to go to a doctor. Those kind of things can happen to you every now and then and it's nothing. If it gets more frequent and/or very strong, then you might consider posting another thread about it. Some of these people in here are trained to go to a doctor when they have a little peepee in the finger. They are called pussies.

I'm guessing that your activities on the computer caused blood to rush away from your head.

yeah that too. getting up too quickly after doing "that" can also cause dizziness.

Drink more alcohol. That'll clear that problem up.

	Full PM-box? Change here!

My father one day had a case of dizzyness for several hours.
It also caused him to vomit very often (well, part of the time he was lying in bed, the rest of the time he was hanging with his head over the toilet )

It was caused by one of hie otoliths getting loose and swimming freely around his semicircular canals (which had an effect equivalent to what you get if you spin around at a very fast pace and then suddenly stop, just more extreme), i.e. the informations his static sense provided him didnīt match the informations provided by his other senses and thereby caused the dizzyness.

The Docs of the clinomobile we called just prescribed him drugs against the vomiting and then left (and the next day he was already able to work again )

Proteus_MST, I had a case of 'dizziness' for 3 to 4 days once, where the world would go up and round non-stop. It was horrible, you couldn't sleep, nothing. Vomit every few hours. I swear to you if I knew it would never stop, I would have killed myself. Doctors examined me, nothing wrong, and that it was just a virus of some kind and it's over now. It was freaky and ... a scary thought, the time went SLOWWWWWW

Uhh.. horrible, I don't wish anyone of you ever getting it.

I get dizzy every now and then. Doctors think they are migrains, but none of the stuff they give me ever works. It ussually happens once a years, random times. No idea, could be something to do with blood sugar, but I can't get to doctors when it happens since I am dizzy, and they only last a couple of hours.

You don't have to go in a full seizure. There are different types, only one of them the classic full on grand mal one. A lot of time epileptics don't even know they have it for a long while because you don't remember having the seizure.
