horizontigo
Horizontigo is the uncommon adjective for 'horizontal vertigo.'
If vertigo is associated with spinning or forward/backward swaying (particularly when looking down from a great height) then horizontigo can be differentiated for side-to-side swaying and a sense that objects (i.e. cars) are moving but remaining at eye level.
Horizontigo may make you move in such a way that makes you feel like a drunkard.
Dr Google isn't the best at fixing this, nor am I (the author) but what I do recommend is that you try to avoid heartburn while feeling this. Gaviscon or the unfortunate 1/2tsp bicarb soda + a cup of water combination may help. Don't push yourself when you feel this and most importantly, DO NOT DRIVE! Horizontigo comes in bouts.

I'm so sure that I'm not ill, but today I went for a walk and kept getting horizontigo. I know I'm not iron deficient, what the helly is going on?
