You wrote,[...as causing this...(vertigo/balance)...].
There are very dibilitsting conditions that haave such as the symptoms. And there is a simple condition that could be treated right now and it will go away.
The condition can be caused by a change. standing, laying down, quick movement ect can bring this conditgion on. Other causes are more severe as in neurological conditions and such.
Here is a way that one can see if it is the simole condition that can be treated now. The theory is that there are particles in the inner ear that are disturbed and by positioning yourself accordingly, the particles will return to their natural state. Well, let's see;
1. ly on your side for 20 min.
2. then lay on your back 20 min.
3. then lay on your other side for 20 min.
4 return to laying on your back
When you feel like it, then slide off the bed easy and stand up and try to walk straight. If you feel better now, this is a benighn condition that can be treated as described. If not, there could be severe issues that need to be ruled out such as Miener's disease (sp)and nerve damage. Stopping psychotropic drugs can also be related here.
