Not the song.... the bloody awful dizziness.
I've suffered with occasional bouts of dizziness for years - nothing major though. Little things like walking in supermarkets that have tiled floors, so I'm visually traversing a grid, could set it off and make me feel a little dizzy and the floor would appear to move a bit.
These past couple of months, I've had it bad - standing still and holding onto things bad. Then it went away. Tonight it came back completely out of the blue. Walking down a road, turned a corner and BAM - mega dizzy. It feels like when you try someone else's glasses on that are way too strong and then you take them off and go 'whooaaaaaaa'.
Anyone else get this, and what do you do to manage it ?
Lack of planning on your part does not constitute an emergency on mine.

My sister has suffered from it for about 40 years and the great guitar repairer Ted Lee developed it later in life.
It can be treated with drugs - worth getting it checked out.

btw, as a sufferer myself, wearing in-ear or even regular cushion type headphones for extended periods can greatly increase your chances of getting it. so not uncommon among musicians and recording people.
basically the heat multiplies the bad bacteria in your ear quicker than your immune system can deal with it. ears are essentially holes in your head, so a breach in the 'front line' of your protection from external bacteria.
under normal circumstances this front line is well defended by your natural anti-bac immune system, but once you start heating up the ear you tip the balance in the bacteria's favour and infections can manifest.
easy to remedy. but keep your earbuds clean and don't wear earphones for hours without breaks.

Do you ever get dizzy turning over in bed at night? Because an organic cause of dizziness associated with head movements is benign paroxysmal positional vertigo and it's usually really easy to fix.
I do get this, I really do. If I'd said it wasn't due to poor oxygen levels in your blood stream, but I'd be lying.
Stand on one leg for half an hour with your eyes closed.
Don't worry, at least you weren't convinced a seven pound coin existed and you crashed your van within the same month.
Mature Ash tree leaves do it to me. Far out man.
Jump in, let them eat you up. It's all good.

Yep, I've had this for years. I'm treated at UCH ENT (Grays Inn Road). Assuming its nothing sinister (get yourself checked out by your GP first)...
It could be anything from 'Benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (BPPV)', to a mild form of Meniere's. Full blown Meniere's is incredibly debilitating. Your GP 'should' - but I doubt they have the time these days' - carry out a maneuver to check for BPPV. Its similar to 'The Epley Maneuver', an exercise in moving debris out the posterior canal - a common cause of vertigo.
Further investigations will involve a procedure that places hot and cold water in the ear canals whilst wearing a kind of virtual reality mask, this contains video cameras that monitor your pupils response to the temp change of the water - this will cause vertigo, but that's the idea of the test.
Be warned, I went through a barrage of tests over eight years to finally receive a diagnosis, only to be told there is no successful treatment ! I was given medications that include - Betahistine dihydrochloride - which was useless, and practiced 'The Epley Maneuver' technique, which some medical professionals swear by, and others say is not effective.
It could equally be anything from a simple re-occurring infection to a partially blocked eustachian tube - although you would have the underwater feeling with any form of blocked middle ear.
