What causes dizziness and whooshing sensations in head?
Patient: Yesterday I was sitting drinking a cup of tea quite relaxed after nice picnic out with the kids when I got this sudden dizzy feeling or woosh through my head. I carried on as normal but anxiety took over during the night & I feel every feeling in my head now wondering if it s related / going to happen again. I have felt it once or twice before, oddly enough when I ve been in bed & about to fall asleep. I understand the anxiety side last night worsened my symptoms & can usually talk myself out of worrying but I m still concerned this morning about that wooshing sensation. Doctor: Hi,  I don't think yours is a serious condition, in my opinion, benign positional paroxysmal vertigo is a condition to consider.  It is a condition that may be triggered by certain sudden movements of the head and neck.  So, try to avoid sudden movements of the head.  If your symptoms worsen then consider consulting with an ENT Doctor.  Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.  Regards, Dr. Erion Spaho,  Neurologist, Surgical
