The lj app is refusing to let me post. Weird.
Anyway, lj-land, maybe you can solve a mystery for me that google hasn't been able to so far.
About a month ago, I woke up extremely dizzy. (I had had about two drinks the night before - I don't drink much but two isn't enough to get me drunk. I don't think it's related, but it's the only slightly out of the ordinary thing I can think of related to it.) The dizziness had subsided quite a bit by bedtime but was still noticeable.
The morning after that, I woke up so dizzy I literally couldn't see straight. You know that feeling after you spin round and round and round and suddenly stop? That's what it felt like. (In hindsight, rather stupidly,) I decided to go work. I couldn't walk in a straight line. I had a bit of a temperature (I took two paracetemol and that fixed it) but apart from that and the dizziness, there were no other symptoms. No earache, no nausea, no headache.
This lasted three days in total. By the fourth day, I was about 80% better. But now, a month later, I still get dizzy if I tilt my head back, lie down with my head lower than the rest of my body, or stand up suddenly in the dark (for some reason it's much better in the light).
I haven't been to see a doctor. But does anyone have any ideas of what it could be?! The random dizziness is getting a bit annoying.
