Hopestill - From my own experience,vertigo makes the room spin so badly you can't move without getting nauseous.
ReplyDeletemiranda - You betcha. If you remember or can understand how a child spins round and round and when they stop, all sense of balance is lost and the kids fall down, well that's vertigo. It can be completely disorienting and can not only create light headedness and anxiety but nausea as well. You can experience it from a number of things and water in the ears will definitely be a cause. Your whole body's sense of balance is in flux, you will be quite disoriented and may feel a sense of falling. Be cautious, make sure to hold on to stair railings, don't stand up or turn around quickly - take things easy until you get this resolved.
