Why do I feel dizzy when I move my head?

Dizziness occurs, and you get dizzy when you move your head while lying down, and you also get dizzy when you bend over to pick up something. In this case, the possibility of cervical spondylosis cannot be ruled out. A complete cervical spine examination is needed to clarify. This situation cannot rule out vertebral basilar artery insufficiency. It still needs to be improved and clarified by transcranial Doppler examination. Only by identifying the cause can further treatment be initiated. If there are no problems in the examination, this situation is mostly related to an unhealthy lifestyle. Sitting still for a long time, maintaining the same posture for a long time while using a mobile phone or computer, or bending over a desk for a long time, staying up late, lack of sleep, and improper sleeping posture may all lead to the current symptoms.
