Why do I feel dizzy and WEAK after peeing in the middle of the night?
I agree with Dr. Liang-Hai. The culprit is your blood pressure drop due to either change in position from lying down to standing (orthostatic hypotension) or after emptying your bladder. Urination is autonomically governed and is related to relaxation/contraction of smooth muscles not only of the bladder but also of blood vessels, hence its association with blood pressure. But it might also be a different medical condition and that the peeing and dizziness were merely coincidental. I hope its the former. If it is, then it might help if: from lying position, slowly sit down in bed first for a while and stretch/flex your arms and legs until more or less blood has circulated into them before you slowly stand up to go pee. And don’t strain while urinating. Otherwise, you may have to see your doctor if it persists. Diabetes may present occultly in this manner. Also, this kind of syncope is more common among the older population with medical conditions or those taking medications that can affect blood pressure. I don’t normally openly offer management in Quora, but it seems you need it. I myself had syncope before, hit my head on a hard surface and suffered from concussion. You wont like this happening to yourself….Good luck!Try these 15 minute exercises which make a real difference: The Vertigo and Dizziness Program vsl cb
Why do I feel hungry and dizzy when I wake up late?
The body need energy to work at its normal conditions so incase, when you don't have enough energy the organs of our system needs energy/ food to recover the consumed amount while sleeping.Actually humans are in temporary paralysis state while it's all system is working continually. So it's continually needs energy to keep the body at its optimal conditions.So when ever your sleep cycle is complete and you over slept, your body come understress, which results in dizziness and hunger.Consider example of workout session during that, we consume lot of energy and afterwards,we need some sleep or rest and energy drink like shakes to recover from energy that consumed during such session, which is a natural phenomena.Likewise it happens in the over slept case your body is doing workout because your body need energy during your sleep, which you don't have,after exceeded from your limits, keep in mind that your body need energy to even help you to sleep.So the energy deprivation will cause lot of weakness in the system, that results you feel more hungry and dizziness, when you wake up, more than usual.As you eat after a regular sleep cycle so your body is synchronised with the time when you enjoy your break fast.So when you don't have breakfast as well as when you over slept, it will casue more hunger and dizziness as dizziness is due to lack of energy. The reason that at that specific time you don't follow the cycle that you follow in regular days.Sleep tight:-)Image source: Google
Dizzy spells and faintness?
I used to get them until a year ago when I cut caffeine out of my diet. I remember seeing a doctor the first time I had it and he told me no more coffee, but I thought it was absurd and I continued to drink coffee. Then I had bad dizzy spells and migraines so the doctor’s advice echoed and I cut out all caffeine in my diet. No more coffee, tea, caffeinated sodas and chocolate. After a week I noticed no more dizzy spells ever. Until I slip and drink tea the night before I will wake up with a dizzy spell. I used to wake up dizzy and wonder why, it’s the caffeine withdrawal causing it. I tried drinking decaf coffee and I still felt dizzy, I’m thinking it still has traces of caffeine. So no coffee period. Try it and a couple weeks you’ll notice a huge difference. If the dizziness doesn’t go away within a couple days then see a doctor!
Last night I woke up in the middle of the night really dizzy and nauseous. What caused this?
Go see a doctor. Maybe you think it’s anxiety but it’s something else. I have epilepsy, a very mild form that developed in adulthood with no known cause. I mostly have seizures at night, while I’m sleeping. I may even had them long before I was diagnosed. Only twice I had them while I was awake. I don’t remember anything about the first time. But on the second time I woke up very dizzy and nauseous, and then I had a seizure a while later. Sometimes people have a warning that they are going to have a seizure, it’s called an aura. In my case it’s nausea, dizziness and confusion. Some people can have other warning signs or none at all. Check with a good doctor to make sure it’s not something serious.

Dizziness Waking in Middle of Night?
I tend never to get an uninterrupted night of sleep, and for years now when I wake up in the middle of the night, I have about a five-minute spell of dizzines. I get up, stagger sideways for a minute because the room feels tilty, and sit back down to wait it out. I don't have an inner ear infection, and it only happens when I first wake up early in the morning. After I go back to bed and get up at a reasonable time, it's gone. Anybody know what's up? Do I just have an unusually hard time transitioning to wakefulness? Thanks! :)
Could my dizzy spells be caused by air conditioning?
I stayed in a hotel with air conditioning in my bedroom around 8 months ago. After sleeping in the room for one night I began experiencing strange dizzy spells. Its not really "dizzy spells" but it feels a bit like the ground suddenly moves or someone has given you a slight push. I was told by someone that it was the constant breeze coming from the air conditioning that was blowing in my ears and causing it to effect my balance. I recently stayed in this hotel room again and exactly the same thing happened. The feeling goes on for about 48 hours after I have stayed in the room. I guess it must be the air-conditioning but I have googled this and I cant find anything about air-conditioning effecting your balance. Has anyone else experienced anything like this?
Why do I feel dizzy after waking up from sleep?
There are mainly three reason; decrease blood pressure, decrease blood sugar level and problems in your inner ear (involve in balancing your body). All other causes are directly or indirectly related to above mentioned reasons.Blood pressure: When you stand up after sleeping or sitting position there is pull of your blood to your legs and abdomen due to gravity that causes decrease in blood volume in your heart to pump causing a transient decrease in blood pressure causing dizziness and this condition is also known as orthostatic hypotension. Around the heart and blood vessel of the neck, there are special cell (baroreceptors ) which scene the blood pressure level in the body for its correction. When decrease in pressure baroreceptors send signals to centers in our brain, which signals heart to beat faster and pump more blood, and also decrease the diameter of the blood vessel finally maintain the blood pressure. Therefore if the baroreceptor is not working properly that might cause dizziness.Glucose: Bain cell utilize glucose as it main fuel for proper functioning. In extreme condition only it can use energy from fat. If you eat very less diet before sleeping might cause dizziness when wake up due to decrease in glucose level.For more: http://medicalbasic.net/why-do-y...
Why did i wake up feeling dizzy and off-balance?
I normally follow a typical bedtime routine, sleeping between 10:30 and midnight and waking between 6:30 and 7:30 am. However, last night, I stayed out all night, not sleeping til 4:30 am, nearly 5am. This is very unusual for me...didn't stay up for any particular reason...just staying up late to spend time with friends. I thought I would sleep until noon, but I couldn't sleep in. I woke up at 9am. When I got up, I was very dizzy, even though I was alert. I felt weird and off-balance, like I were drunk. I should add that I only drank one beer the evening before, ate normally and I'm not on medication. What would cause me to be dizzy like that? I couldn't keep my balance straight for about 2 hours. Everything was spinning.
