    I may have experienced this. A couple years ago I was getting over a cold. I blew my nose and instantly experienced severe vertigo. The room looked like it was spinning and it felt like I was on a boat in the middle of a rough storm. I nearly fell over. It took about 15 minutes for the sensation to fully expire.
