Hello,
With the question “Is dizziness when waking up dangerous? ", the doctor would like to answer as follows:
The symptoms you describe are found in many diseases, but the disease is often caused by vestibular disorders, which are usually benign. If the disease persists and recurs many times, this may be a vestibular disorder after the 8th nerve tumor, migraine, multiple sclerosis... Therefore, you should go to the hospital to see a doctor Ear - Nose - Throat or Neurologist for proper diagnosis and treatment.
If you still have questions about dizziness, you can go to a hospital under Vinmec Health System for further examination and advice. Thank you for trusting and sending questions to Vinmec. Wishing you lots of health.
Best regards!
