What's going on with my head? I woke up dizzy and I could not stand or walk.

| I went to bed normal and felt okay then. But when I awoke in the middle of the night to close a window, it felt like the room was spinning and I struggled to walk a straight line to the window. I did manage to close it and stumbled back to bed. It was very queer but I was too tired and fell asleep. When I awoke this morning, I felt nauseous and dizzy but can walk a little. I called in sick to work. I have no appetite and just sitting up makes me nauseous. I don't have cold, no fever... what the heck is this? |

No idea. My first thought was carbon monoxide, but if the window was open...
You need to get yourself to the ER asap. This isn't something to mess around with - and I'm not one to suggest the ER lightly. It could be very serious. |

| Good Lord, OP. Stop posting on DCUM and call a doctor. |

| Inner ear. Go to an ear, nose, and throat doctor. I've had bouts of vertigo in my life, usually in times of great stress. |

| It's vertigo. Try laying on one side for 15 minutes, then turn to the other side for 15 minutes. If that doesn't work, you can go to the ER. |

Dehydration? I ended up in the ER once when I was so dehydrated that I fell a few times and passed out one time, all in the course of one morning.
Update us and let us know how you're doing! |

| Ear infection causing vertigo? Or some sort of other inner ear illness. Call you regular doctor, you don't need to go to the ER -- for goodness sake, this is not a life threatening emergency. |

| Do not go to the ER for vertigo. There is nothing they can do. See an ENT. Probably BVP and there is a special head movement that helps. It is caused by little crystals in your inner ear. |

| At first it sounded like you drank too much. But yes, I've had this from dehydration. Could also be an inner ear problem. |

| Check for stroke. If at all suspicious, call an ambulance. Do not drive yourself. |
