Mike, you are experiencing 'vertigo'. Or rather, the lack of balance. With your ears all messed up, your balance is off. Did you bust your head open, or break the tile in the shower???
It also is a side affect of pregnancy.
If a pregnant person gets up too quickly, all the blood rushes to the head, one gets the feeling of 'vertigo', and bam, dizzy, nauseated, and hit the deck.... 'thar she goes' is a common phrase relating to women in this predicament.
let's hope it is example 1 not 2 in your instance.
or, is that the 'problem' you're having with 'the girl at school?
