I woke up this morning and everything started to spin very rapidly and I freaked out! If I bend my head down or just watching television I get super dizzy. When everything starts spinning round and round I freak out screaming and straight out terrified. IS there anything that I can do at home that will help me get rid of this? Can't lay down or even close my eyes because everything spins.. Can't see a doctor because i have no insurance or money...what can I do I'm running out of options that I can think of...

The spins are not normal. You may be low on iron!
Low on lots of things in your body. Drink lots of water, gets at LEAST 8 hours of deep sleep each night!
If you can't afford a doctor and it's realy bad, you can always go to the emergancy room, but have a friend or relative take you. Don't drive if your case is too severe!!!
good luck!
I found this-
Vertigo, or dizziness, is a symptom, not a disease. The term vertigo refers to the sensation of spinning or whirling that occurs as a result of a disturbance in balance (equilibrium). It also may be used to describe feelings of dizziness, lightheadedness, faintness, and unsteadiness. The sensation of movement is called subjective vertigo and the perception of movement in surrounding objects is called objective vertigo.
Vertigo usually occurs as a result of a disorder in the vestibular system (i.e., structures of the inner ear, the vestibular nerve, brainstem, and cerebellum). The vestibular system is responsible for integrating sensory stimuli and movement and for keeping objects in visual focus as the body moves.
When the head moves, signals are transmitted to the labyrinth, which is an apparatus in the inner ear that is made up of three semicircular canals surrounded by fluid. The labyrinth then transmits movement information to the vestibular nerve and the vestibular nerve carries the information to the brainstem and cerebellum (areas of the brain that control coordination, balance, movement, blood pressure, and consciousness). There are a number of different causes for dizzy spells.
Incidence and Prevalence
Vertigo is one of the most common health problems in adults. According to the National Institutes of Health (NIH), about 40% of people in the United States experience feeling dizzy at least once during their lifetime. Prevalence is slightly higher in women and increases with age.

Welcome to life Honey. I raised two children alone for 20 years with no husband to help at all. My ex was such a deadbeat I got zero from him. I taught my children about character and values and sacrifice. Those are things they can't learn at the mall with their friends. If they are old enough to hang out at the mall they are old enough to get part time jobs to make some spending money of their own. Summer is coming up and babysitters, lawnmowers and other jobs will be abundant.

Sounds like vertigo. The causes are various. Frequently, the semicircular canals inside of the ears develop small crystals. These interfere with the fluid that moves inside and helps keep us oriented. The crystals block the flow of the fluid and therefore the input from the canals conflicts with the input from our eyes, muscles, etc.
There are maneuvers you can do to help relieve the symptoms. I found a link with a video that shows you how.
Good luck!

This is very serious. You could have high or low blood pressure, heart disease, or something going on with the blood vessels in your brain. At least go to an Emergency Dept at your local hospital. Insurance or not they cannot turn you away. Best of luck to you.

You probably have water in your eardrum. Dramamine will clear it up, get this every time I catch a head cold, the first time is scared the heck out of me, thought I had a brain tumor. The only problem is the dramamine makes one sleepy.

You must see a doctor. It is probably something simple like an ear infection but could be very serious like a blocked artery in your brain.

If you can get online, you're resourceful. Get to a doctor.
