Thanks for helping me to distinguish dizziness from vertigo. It feels better to recognize that I don’t feel weak or like I am in danger of passing out and that the room moving is just vertigo.
Hello.
A third category I’d like to add is wobbliness on standing and walking but without what I think of dizziness. When I stand (especially after having been seated for a while – 20-30 mins.) and often when I walk (even short distances – ½ city block), it’s as if the lower half of my body is made of rubber bands. I have to be so careful.
However, ever at the wobbliest of these times, my mind is clear (nothing appears to be spinning). To my doctors, I’ve sometimes described the sensation as like being on board a small ship in a mildly rolling sea and trying to walk from place to place without falling.
