dizziness and strange sensations while napping

Posted by roony on July 11, 2001 at 18:27:18:

I have a strange problem when I take a nap. This sensation never seems to occur when I go to bed at night. Anyway, if I ever take a nap I get random and strange almost mild shock-like sensation in my head. It almost sounds like a quick "sh" sound. It's hard to say if I'm "hearing" it or just "sensing" it. It feels like my chest is fluttering at times too. I'm in good shape and I never have problems while running or working out at the gym. When I get up I feel dizzy and disorriented. It may take about 5 minutes to get back to "normal". I don't have insurance so that is why I'm seeking help here. Thanks
