    Head spins

    I have been getting dizzy for no apparent reason at random times throughout the day. It starts with a simple movement (turning over in bed) and all of a sudden my head just starts spinning and it throws me way off balance for a few seconds. It all started maybe a few weeks back my first time hitting 405 on the squat. Wasn't so bad at first but now it's just pretty irritating...anyone know what might be wrong with me?

    what you are describing sounds like vertigo and is a balance disorder, if it continues go see a doctor.

    I came into this thread hoping to see breakdancing videos.
    The spirit that I have seen may be the devil: and the devil hath power to assume a pleasing shape; yea, and perhaps out of my weakness and my melancholy, as he is very potent with such spirits, abuses me to damn me.

    Re: Head spins

    Blockage in the ear canal/ eustachion tube. Even a GP should know how to clear that obstruction.

    Could also be sinus pressure causing the head spins. I get it a lot during the spring/fall seasons because of allergies. I pick up some Zyrtec-D (with the pseudoephedrine) and it opens my head right up and the dizziness goes away.
    If you can bench more than you can squat, you're doing it wrong!

    Do you have a hard time hearing what people say on one side?

    Was talking with my sister about it, and she brought up how i blast my music with my headphones. Said I might have damaged something.

    Could also be sinus pressure causing the head spins. I get it a lot during the spring/fall seasons because of allergies. I pick up some Zyrtec-D (with the pseudoephedrine) and it opens my head right up and the dizziness goes away.
    No allergies are acting up.

    No, hearing seems as normal as usual.
