I have been dizzy since Friday night. It get`s worse when I lay down. I seem to be less dizzy as the day goes on, but as it gets closer to bedtime, I start getting dizzier again. The OB on call at the E.R this weekend said it sounded like I had a virus & I needed to contact my regular OB Monday (today), and have her see me. Well...I called her today...she asked if I was sleeping on my left side & how much water I was drinking... I told her I fall asleep on my left side, but toss and turn throughout the night, and I have not been drinking any water. So, they told me to drink atleast 8 glasses of water a day, and if I`m still getting dizzy in two days, to call them back, and they would see me immdeiately to do bloodwork. Has anyone else had the dizzy spells? If so...any advice? What did it end up being? Edit Delete

A snack with protein (egg and cheese sandwich)and glass of milk do the trick for me, but I still have to drink incredible amts to stay un-fuzzy-headed. I hope you feel better soon.
