Can dizziness be caused by sleep posture?
Recently I have been sleeping with my head elevated. Propped up on pillows with books and papers underneath, sometimes I even do it on my side. I started more than a week ago. A few days after I started, I started having frequent dizzy spells, I guess around 10 in one day. They last for a few seconds only. I don't know if it's vertigo, but the ground feels unsteady, as if I'm on a ship. Sometimes I feel as if my head is heavy.
I didn't mind it at first since I had an upset stomach, I thought the dizziness was because of that and I was surprised that the dizziness didn't go away when I got better. It only crossed my mind a while ago that the new sleep posture may be the one behind the dizziness. I have not tried going back to my original sleep posture.
