Feels like im walking on a boat

Hello everyone. For the past few weeks since my daughter has been born, ive been experiencing a sensation of walking pn a boat. It started a few days after I came home from the hospital. I had this same problem after I had my son in june 2010 and it went away in the end of august and I never knew the cause. Does anyone know what can cause this? Its a horrible feeling and hard to function witj it. I also get pressure and tingling in my head pain behind my left eye and pain in my left ear also get really bad headaches. Im hoping it will go away sooner than afew months. If snyone has any advice I really appreciate it! Thanks in advance!

I will warn you that this usually isn't a "quick fix" meaning this could take a while to treat and resolve.  Keep in mind I stated "could" not "will".

Keep me posted dear.  I wish you a speedy recovery.

I am assuming they will be doing maneuvers (treatments) in the office on you to treat this, so it sounds like they are treating you appropriately.   Sometimes, Vestibular therapy is ordered.  

First see if these treatments work.  If they don't, then ask about Vestibular therapy.

The lady said bppv can cause an off balance feeling and although I dont get vertigo I do get dizzy when I move my head around. She didnt mention nothing about therapy just about some treatment their gunna do in the office thats a one time thing. Should I ask for therapy?
