Crystals form in your inner ear and when they move around, your world spins violently. One such attack on Monday put me on the floor for 20 minutes. It is not a fun feeling. Luckily it does slowly clear up and I'm almost back to normal. But what a nasty experience. Hopefully this doesn't become "a thing" with me. I could do without this.
That sucks - sorry to hear. Be careful with it and sit down immediately if you start to feel it. I have a buddy with vertigo, who fell while out to dinner with his wife and friends. Broke his jaw and messed up a bunch of teeth. He has recovered but wasn't pleasant to go through it, or the recovery / procedures to fix everything.
