how to stop feeling so dizzy?

Rest and fluids is probably the best solution

Sometimes if you have spent a long time in bed, you will feel dizzy when you get out of bed... it's sort of like of virtigo. So try to sit up whenever possible, and when you do get up spend a few minute sitting on the edge of the bed first to get used to it. But I hasten to add, I'm no professional... Must be a nightmare not being able to see a Dr but if you're feeling really awful then you should really consider it... I hope you feel better really soon! xx

Make sure you're trying to drink stuff with electrolytes and eat a least a little something . Low blood sugar and lack of good salts can contribute to dizziness.

Pretty much exactly what I was going to say (great minds?). Sometimes there just isn't much you can do about it when you're sick, but that should help.

okay so this has absolutely nothing to do with weight loss..

but i have the flu and it is extremely hard to even get out of bed cos i am so dizzy.
i am drinking 12-14 glasses of water a day.
any ways to minimise this as i can not take the day off work? (i need money for bills and can't afford a dr right now)

Whoops didn't mean to do that. Anyway your Australian arn't you, so go to a doctor that bulk bills. Australians can always go to the doctors. Don't you have any sick leave left?

Maybe your inner ear is off cuz of being sick. Have you tried a nasal decongestant? Some times that helps clear my ears a bit so im not so dizzy when im stuffy. Hope you feel better soon!

Exactly what I was thinking.

Wow only one doctor that bulk bills, what about the local hospital surely you could see a doctor there, is there an outpatients? Be careful driving if you feel dizzy, perhaps just ask your new employees for a sick day off in advance. It would be a health and safety matter, no good being sick at work. Get better soon mate!

Noone bulk bills in canberra, except for one which takes more than a month to get into. Also, as we are so short on GP's we usually have to book 1-2 weeks ahead, especially in this season can be up to a month. Also I only started this job about 2 months ago so don't think I have built up any sick leave yet.

I am sorry you are sick! But I want to urge you to keep your bugs to yourself and stay home while you are sick. If you go to work sick and then make your colleagues sick. Don't you think they need money too? so maybe you will get your full check, but your co-workers are going to get sick and miss work. And then they will go home and get their families sick, including their little children

The right thing to do is to stay home, take care of yourself. You will get better faster by staying in bed. Three days in bed takes 5 or 6 days if you're walking around So unless you work in a booth by yourself and aren't able to contaminate anyone with your germs, stay home. Your boss will thank you. They don't want to deal with losing even more workers.

Spot on!
