Best to talk to your doctor about this.

It could be anything...

While I was in nursing school, I was diagnosed with this: http://www.emedicine.com/ent/topic234.htm

I went to the ENT not only because of the symptoms, but because it was so embarrassing to be sitting in class and suddenly have to grab onto the desk to keep from being thrown to the floor (at least that was the sensation lol).
