Question for anyone who wishes to reply. I've been experiencing dizzy spells when I lay down on the couch to watch TV. Not when I get up, only when I lay down. This is the ONLY time I have them; when I lay down on the couch propped up by a couple of pillows. So you might say I am at a slight angle.

The only way I can stop them is to lay flat.

Also, one of my ears seems to have a tiny throb in it. It doesn't hurt that bad, just a tad...enough to let me know it's there.

I'm not a doctor, nor do I play one on TV, but would you agree that I might have a minor ear infection? If so, any home remedies?

Or possibly an inner ear infection?

I as much as I dislike going to any kind of doctors, I would not mess around with home remedies for an inner ear problem. It could get worse real fast being in the inner ear where it is dark and somewhat damp.

Get thee to a doctor..your inner ear controls your balance. And already you're feeling dizzy. Not good. This becomes important the older we get, when our sense of balance is not as "flexible" when we were children.

It doesn't take much..you could fall/slip and hurt yourself due to balance problems right now.

How's the ear today?

orchid, balance and pilates. I know what you're talking about. I'm not nearly as flexible nor steady as I was when a child. But by looking at the other women in the class, I can see there's hope.

Remember even without any insurance if you go to the emergency room of any hospital THEY HAVE TO TREAT YOU and send you a bill. My son did that all the time and will now again too since he's not on my DIL's insurance at work anymore. You will pay them, he does, but in payments and when he can.

I know people from my church not old enough for Medicare that do it all the time, and say the hospital staff is always polite and caring...
