dizziness but not dizziness ?so confused

Posted , 5 users are following.

Hi.I recently posted about this weird dizziness i get now and again from 2015 until present day.

since 2015 iv probably had 6 episodes,i know thats not alot but when it happens its scary ,it can last an hour or so,if i go to sleep its completely gone on waking,but 1 episode i had i actually woke up with it ,it settled down after a few hours .before an episode i am usually quite tired and have slight headache and neck pain.it can just come out of knowwhere,i min im fine the next i have this weird dizziness.The room does NOT spin,the only way i can explain it is if im looking say at the wall and i turn my head to look somewhere else their is a delay catching up with things.iv seen my gp she says vertigo but the room dont spin.iv had my eyes tested and my pressures are to high which could mean glucoma ,just wondering if this could be the corse of this weird and strange sensation. any one else had this dizziness but not quite full blown dizziness?

    Look up issues with your SCM muscle. It's a muslce in your neck.

    Look up Vestibulo Occular Reflex and it will explain the issue with the lag in your eyes and head movement.  Doesn't sound like vertigo to me.  It could be an issue with muscles in your neck or a vestibular deficit.
