“There are “crystals” in your ear that help you keep your balance and keep the room from spinning. They can get knocked out of place. “
Yep... Called BPPV, I was thinking the same thing about several of the replies here. I have had this happen many times and gives me vertigo and temporary tinnitus. There are self help exercises that can help, and seasickness medicine can help.

You know, I think that most doctors don’t really care. They are stretched so thin and have so many patients that they just get you in and get you out as quickly as possible. I’m getting more information here than I got from my Emergency Room and Hearing doctor at the time of my incident. Appreciate this thread immensely.
