What Causes Sudden Head Spinning Like Sensation?
Thank you. Today, I was standing at a counter, and all of a sudden I felt as if there had been an earthquake,and I lost my balance ,for a moment, but then I was ok shortly thereafter. Someone around me thought I was falling, but I didn t fall,because I caught myself. I take no medication,but I do have allergies. Thank you

Hi There
After going Through your query I understand your concern .
I would like to tell you that your symptoms are suggestive of pre-syncope , that needs to be evaluated on urgent basis as it can be fetal.
It's advisable for you to get an ECG and a HOLTER monitoring for 48 hours done and consult a cardiologist personally. If there will be significant Arrythmias then you would be requiring a pace maker or an ICD implantation.
Hopefully this has answered your query.
Kind Regards
Dr Navneet Mahajan
