Members shared experiences about feeling sick after napping, with many describing symptoms like dizziness, nausea, headaches, and body pain upon waking from daytime sleep. Several members connected their symptoms to vestibular dysfunction and vertigo, with one member sharing a diagnosis of vertigo following endometriosis surgery and noting that cold water or ice on the back of the neck provides some temporary relief. A recurring theme was the surprise and comfort in discovering how common this experience is among community members, along with the ongoing challenge of managing these symptoms without clear answers from multiple medical specialists.

Hi Felicia! I looked up endo and vertigo. It seems to be very common with us. As if we need more...

Hi Southmeadowsmama,

It's not in your head. If you feel sick after a nap it's very true. I feel sick every day I wake up in the morning and after a nap. I have vestibular dysfunction which means another thing on top of endo. My endo was removed but Im dizzy everyday and I don't know how to make it go away. I had surgery in 2016 to remove it and went back to work and noticed I couldn't stand on legs and was getting light headed a lot. I got diagnosed with vertigo and was told it can be brought on by a virus too. I know I had 2 car accidents, 2 falls and endo removed as well as a c/s when I delivered in 2006. My car accident was in 2007. You could only imagine the horror I've been through but I'm alive and I need to keep going..so told my job that dizziness is preventing me from doing my job as a teacher especially when my in abilities are more evident now. I compensated like others until it got hard to hide it. I want to return but I can't manage this and not driving because of issues. I'll keep hoping for the best.

You aren't alone. I don't always feel awful but sometimes I do.

Hi AimeeJean,

Yes, head pressure. So don't know why this is happening but have noticed that iced water, water decaf coffee or anything cold on back of neck and for head helps but it doesn't go way. I have been to eye doctor to rule out eyes, 5 ENTs, going to neuro optometrist, don't know what would cause this much discomfort in that region. I don't know how to manage this as well.
