Dizziness is generally relieved, not exacerbated, by lying down. However, if you have a condition called benign paroxysmal positional vertigo, you are going to battle dizziness while lying in bed. (BananaStock/BananaStock/Getty Images).
Signs and Symptoms of Vertigo. Vertigo, or dizziness, refers to the sensation of spinning (subjective vertigo) or the perception that surrounding objects are moving or spinning (objective vertigo). Some patients describe a feeling of being pulled toward the floor or toward one side of the room. Moving the head, changing position, and turning while lying down often worsen vertigo. The sudden onset of vertigo usually indicates a peripheral vestibular disorder (inner ear disturbance; e.g., BPPV, MÃ©niÃ¨re disease, vestibular neuritis, labyrinthitis).
