Dizziness and weird head pressure when I’m nodding off

[HAfit88]

Hi, does anyone get this weird feeling of dizziness and head pressure when they’re about to go sleep or have a nap? I seem to get this constant feeling of sleepiness followed with dizziness and head pressure. This occurs after mild exercise, when I’m feeling sleepy or if I’ve woken up from a short nap. What I’ve also noticed is that I’m very sensitive to motion and that also triggers dizziness. If anyone has any ideas or has been through it I would be grateful for some information.

I also get this dizziness when I’m trying to recall old memories, daydream or think about the past.

HAfit88, I've watched to see if anyone would respond to your post and keep going back

to it. I know what you are talking about because I have experienced those symptoms in

the past. I did write mine off to my neck issue. Throughout the years of my anxiety days,

I would hold myself tight and tense including jutting my head forward. My stance was like

this everyday until I started experiencing these "whooshes" of dizziness when on the computer, scrolling or anything around me moving.

I never did find an answer for those episodes. We can't be the only 2 that have had this.

Don't give up on getting responses. Sometimes, we just don't have the answers. xx

Has yours gone now?

I'm good. No longer get it. I make sure I rest my eyes if on the computer for too

long. Eye doctor said to take your eyes off the screen and look at a distance. It relaxes

the eye muscles. I also have a support pillow behind my lower back prompting me to

sit more straight. When my neck gets tense from typing all day, I place a hot microwavable shoulder pad around my neck and shoulders. Seems to help xx
