Thank you ((Sabby)) and everyone who repsonded. I just got back and had a late breakfast. I didn't eat on purpose because I anticipated she would do bloodwork. I told her how I got dizzy laying down and standing. The laying down was a 'key point' because she thinks this is from the inner ear balancing area. She stills want to rule out other causes so she told me to get blood work and an EKG. Occasionally I'll get an irregular heartbeat - I've been tested in the past and it's not the dangerous kind but she still wanted me to get the EKG and I did that and the blood work already. She also will book a stress test later

She said if I wasn't having vision changes, that means I wasn't is danger of losing conscience(think I spelled it wrong lol) or having stroke symptoms. Since my mother had strokes I was worried about that. Now I know I wasn't going to faint and I don't feel frightened by it now. She said since it only happened during a 24 hr period, it mostly likely won't be a continuous problem. She said virus can upset the delicate inner ear balance. I feel sorry for people who have this all the time.

I'll let you all know if anything shows from the blood work or EKG. I feel much better understanding that not all dizziness means you're going to faint. I did faint once and it affects vision - everything goes black. I haven't had the dizzy feeling since then, so I feel less worried and assured nothing more serious is going on. Thanks again everyone
