It atarts as soon as I wake up.  When I sit on the side of the bed to get dressed, the whole room starts spinning, also, I am getting double vision, I cannot get my eyes to focus.  I am 60 years old.

It could be a many number of things. Have you been diagnosed with Migraine? If so, any change in our Migraine pattern needs to be reported to our doctor. It could be side effects from medication, a new symptom, blood pressure.....so many different things. You really should have this checked out ASAP.
Sometimes people with migraines experience vertigo along with their migraines (I had it for 12 weeks once...it is really quite alarming). If you have someone that can get you to the hospital, I would make an appt ASAP.
Simon, because the dizziness starts when you get up, I think it might be benign positional vertigo, but a doctor will have to diagnose it. It also could be low blood pressure. Let your doctor know.
