For a very long time now, I have had this strange, annoying and sometimes very terrifying problem.
To describe it is difficult, But i am constantly feeling like the world around me is falling, or spining. That’s really the best way i can describe it. It’s a feeling like being dizzy, As if you had just spun around really fast and then stopped suddenly, except feeling it all the time, though not as bad.
The problem also causes me to feel as if i’m on a roller coaster that just went straight down, that sort of frightened feeling you get when you are falling, and this feeling last for about one to two seconds, and comes at complete random also.
This problem has been with me for so long that i’ve somewhat gotten used to it. If i start getting interested in a television show, or a video game, or i’m thinking about something, i won’t really notice it, but any moment where i find myself not occupied or doing anything, or not focused on anything interesting, is when i start feeling this way again. it’s not so bad that i’m going to fall over standing up, and i also never notice it while i am walking or moving.
I asked my parents, And they said it has to do with my high blood pressure, But i have been with this problem for so long that i’m not entirely sure this is the cause, or at least the entire cause. I’m also somewhat obese, and i was wondering if my weight might also be contributing to this problem. I know i’m also not getting enough sleep as i should, i most often stay up until late into the night.
I know also that i am having some psychological issues, for which i might see a psychiatrist, and i noticed the "feeling of falling" increases whenever i feel guilty about something, or i’m depressed, or if i feel bad or nervous.
The very last thing i want to do is take medication, i’m trying as hard as i can to avoid this. This problem is not really destroying my life or anything, but it would help, immensely, if i could finally get rid of this problem.
I would like to know any possible way to cure or reduce this feeling, without medication, if possible.
Thanks in advance for any help or advice.
