The room spins and I get nausea. If I move suddenly it often happens also. I know it could be something else entirely but was wondering if anyone else feels this.

It is allergy related for me. My ears get clogged up and then I get vertigo, sometimes I throw up...so attractive...what works for me is to take antihistamine every nite and then snork Flonase every morning. Don't u love these technical terms? Benedryl at nite helps keep my ear tubes unclogged.
