Rep Power: 18 | The Spins Hey guys, just wondering if this is common for other people as well... Sometimes when I lay down on my back, whether it be laying down quickly or not, I will get the spins, and it is a very uncomfortable feeling. If I sit up, or turn over on my side, they will go away. I find that I don't have these after medicating. Does anybody else experience this? |

| Re: The Spins = Vertigo Vertigo is the feeling that you or your environment is moving when no movement occurs. Imprecisely called dizziness, the term vertigo is the specific term used to describe an illusion of movement. See your doctor. It could be due to many different things. |

Rep Power: 62282 | Re: The Spins My M.D. told me I had positional vertigo caused by some little bits in your ear canal that come loose. Those bits are responsible for orientation. Repeating the motion that made me dizzy helped (i.e., turning my head, sitting up and laying down). Oddly, I have not had the problem since mmj. |
