Head Spins while going to sleep

2021-01-23 06:06:48
My head spins when I am going to bed. It happens at the back of my head and stays for 10 seconds. It also happens sometimes when I change my head position. After a few seconds it will be normal. This is happening for the last 10 days and never had happened before. I am not taking any other medication and I do not have any health issues. Could you please let me know if I should be taking any medicine for this. Thanks Srikanth
