I will be on terra firma, and all of a sudden it feels like the floor drops a couple inches. Weird ... My blood pressure does weird things too ... like drop to near nothing in really interesting places, like the shower. This started after I had rheumatic fever after a strep infection, which did some cardiac damage, about 14 years ago. I get some really interesting cardiac rhythms every now and then ... Don't mess with strep, man. Bad juju there ... Oh ... BTW, that interview I totally fluffed? I got the job! I be a real geek now! AT and me, at the third same company ... how weird is that.

There is also cervicogenic vertigo, which chiropractic has a lot of success with because of the direct involvement of the cervical spine.
