Hi Crystal, sometimes if I have a bad 'wobble I feel it in my head - is this what you mean? A lot of the time these sensations are just our nervous system reacting to mixed signals.
Sometimes when I'm tired I get the feeling the floor's being pulled out from under my feet quickly and my whole body reacts.

Crystal do you want to go into the chatroom? There's a link at the top of the page - hopefully it's working after the site being down.

Oops Crystal I've just been told the chatroom's not back yet.

Are your sinuses acting up at the moment? I get fluttery feelings in my head from my sinuses.

Hi Crystal I think I know what you mean ! I call it a buzzing head ! It does not last for a long time a few seconds or so ! kind of like the feeling you get when you stick out your tongue and blow to do the nanana boo boo to a kid ?? but not a strong or when you are passenger in a car and you put your head on the window ?? is that close ?

Hi Christal

Is the feeling you are getting usually when you are shifting your gaze or on turning your head.The feeling like you go down in an elevator and you get that that sinking feeling in your chest and stomach but now you feel it in your head?If that is what you discribe then is is the eyes lagging with the information from the ear,is the vestibular ocolar reflex that is out of kilter.This is actually a dizzy spell,important info for doc as this dizzy spell is very short,just a quick second but can happen all day long with feeling of false motion constantly in between.The types of dizzy spell sets one ear disorder apart from another yet often people do not realise that this feeling is actually classified as a dizzy spell so we go to the doctor and we say we feel dizzy all day long,yet in essence the dizzy spell only lasts a second,but it just happens every time on moving eyes or head so can happen thousands of times a day.I often also discribed it like it was as if the whole brain was catching up with the rest of the head or like the brain is doing a little twirly.

If you are also experiencing those symptoms with certain sounds then it is called the Tullio's phenomenom

Have you been seen by a neuro otologist Christal.Most inner ear disorders clear up by it self or heal spontaniously but if you are still having symptoms 24/7 then you should get a referral .

All the best

Moppie

although these feeling/symptoms are def NOT funny or fun ! I kind of just had to have a little giggle about everyones descriptions and lingo in trying to describe what exactly it is we are feeling ! I have read so many of them !!

Some of the feelings are just so hard to describe !

I get these all the time, I used to get it once in a while before my labyrinthitis started, but since it did they happen loads, always make me feel Im gonna hit the floor, but I havent yet! In time I suppose its something we will look back at and smile. Just keep riding them out until then.

Hi Crystal!
Are you on any medications at all (i.e. for anxiety)? I know there are some out there that can cause "brain fluttering"...
