My dad claims that it might be an inner ear infection and that the infection can throw off your equaliberium.
Can anyone confirm this.
thanks

Father knows best. I had a serious case of vertigo last year. Forget the hiking trails, I couldn't even drive to the trailheads. When my wife drove me to an ENT (Ear, Nose and Throat specialist) I was given an MRI and it was determined that I had Labyrinthitis which is an inner-ear infection. I was given a prescription for the vertigo but the Labyrinthitis had to go away on its own; took about 6 months for that to happen. I'd suggest you keep an eye on this and if possible get checked by an ENT.
Hope this helps.
