Ive been having trouble sleeping in my bed because my body gets totally numb. Its gotten to the point where Ive started sleeping on the floor instead. But even when I use a soft pillow, my head still goes numb. Is there any way to fix this? I'm really worried about what's going on.

Numbness in any part of body indicates some involvement of nerves. It could be due to bad posture or nerve compression. If it is due to improper posture, it will resolve with correction of posture. If numbness is persistent, Consult a Neurospine specialist.

I'm really concerned because for the past few days I've been experiencing sudden dizziness and it feels like everything around me is falling or moving. What could be causing this? Should I be worried or is it something that will pass on its own?

Take nutrition. Increase water intake and measure blood pressure also

I'm experiencing dizziness for the past 4 weeks. My ENT doctor prescribed STABLANZ PV and VERTIGON tablets, which help a lot when I take them. But when I stop, the dizziness and spinning in my head come right back. Does this sound like vertigo to you, or could it be something else? Also, any advice on how to get rid of this dizziness, or if there's anyone else I should consult?
