Vertigo, or dizziness, refers to the sensation of spinning (subjective vertigo) or the perception that surrounding objects are moving or spinning (objective vertigo). Some patients describe a feeling of being pulled toward the floor or toward one side of the room. Moving the head, changing position, and turning while lying down often worsen vertigo.


The sudden onset of vertigo usually indicates a peripheral vestibular disorder (e.g., BPPV, Meniere's disease, vestibular neuritis).

.Symptoms of benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (BPPV) usually last a few seconds to a few minutes and are intermittent (i.e., come and go). They also may include lightheadedness, imbalance, and nausea, usually as a result of a change in position (e.g., rolling over in bed, getting out of bed).

Symptoms of Meniere disease and vestibular neuritis include vertigo, hearing loss, ringing in the ears (tinnitus), and ear pressure that often lasts hours to days.

Vestibular Rehabilitation Therapy
Vestibular rehabilitation therapy (VRT) is a type of physical therapy used to treat vertigo. The goal of treatment is to minimize dizziness, improve balance, and prevent falls by restoring normal function of the vestibular system.

In VRT, the patient performs exercises designed to allow the brain to adapt to and compensate for whatever is causing the vertigo. The success of this treatment depends on several factors including the following:

Age of the patient
Cognitive function (e.g., memory, ability to follow directions in order)
Coordination and motor skills
Overall health of the patient (including the central nervous system)
Physical strength
Vestibular rehabilitation therapy is designed by a physical therapist under the direction of a physician. In most cases, patients visit the therapist on a limited basis and perform custom-designed exercises at home, several times a day. As the patient progresses, difficulty of the exercises increases until the highest level of balance is attained during head movement, eye movement (i.e., tracking with the eyes), and walking.

This sounds like an ear infection!! Lay down very still and it should get better. You need to go to the doctor and get some medicine, but laying down and laying still helps A LOT!

Well I would give two suggestions:

1) Pregnancy, but only you (and well one other) would know if that was possible.

2) 24-hour illness brought on by a virus, possibly from food poisoning.

Could be the fluoride in your tap water, the mercury in your food(tuna maybe), the chem-trails falling from the sky, the radiation from your cellphone, microwave, and any other electrical devices around...the multiple frequencies generated from towers installed all over the God damned place...the vaccines you received when you were to young to tell your mommy and daddy that they were not informed enough on the dangers of them to be qualified to make the decision to have you receive them in the first place.
Welcome to Earth.

Ask your parents to see your doctor! In the meantime lie down and drink some water or tea, if you are hungry maybe some soup.
