Dizzy for the first time.
I was at the mall with my mom and dad yesterday and while they were at the food court, I went to one of the stores but had to wait for it to open at 11. While I was waiting, I suddenly got dizzy and the floor actually looked like it was moving from side to side. It didn't just happen slowly but very fast. I had no idea what was going on and as soon as I felt that I was going to pass out, I grabbed onto a metal railing and dropped to my knees. As soon as I did, the feeling subsided. I stayed there for a few minutes before getting up again. I'm 44. I don't drink alcohol, don't smoke and don't do drugs. I'm a healthy 220 pounds. I drink soda but it's primarily zero sugar. This is officially the first time that this happened to me and need serious medical advice.
Is that what is called vertigo?
Don't know. I have no idea what the symptoms are.
