Answer 1

Hi,

Do you have a problem with your ears?  Sometimes the labyrinth (the fluid) in your ears can make you feel sea sick.  Next time you are at the Drs get it checked.

Answer 2

Try buying a suitable pillow made for side sleepers. They have them at a  very reasonable price at Ikea.

Answer 3

sometimes i get that odd feeling as well. it was worse when I was preg , consider that you may have hiatus hernia /over production of stomach acid and avoid heavy meals before sleep and take a glass of water to bed to sip on. A zantac tablet taken at bedtime may prevent this (as per box instructions). Maybe a light biscuit snack before bed could help. Also higher pillows.
