dizziness when moving eyes

I get a couple seconds dizziness every time i move my eyes or turn my head. Although it only lasts for a few seconds, its bothersome because i am constantly moving my head and eyes. What could this condition be?

heard the 'whoosh' also... diagnosed with labyrinthitis.  only thing that helped was scalp acupuncture.  Got rid of the dizziness/unsteadiness and faint feeling within 3 days.  I now still have some eye pain, and only hear the 'whoosh' when my eyes are really tired.   This was triggered by a varicella vaccination.

I have the same problem too. In my case, i have trained myself to recognise regular symptoms (especially pain) and identify the new ones that need doctors consultation. I have been having the dizzy symptoms expecially only from 6pm to 8pm and then it vanishes as though not happen.

I traced back on all my other symptoms, medications ad occurrences and i found a certain pattern. The problem is feel is right back to lack of sleep. Loss of nite sleep, especially at my age, can cause all kinds of havoc, dizziness being the prime candidate. So i just take it and make sure i recover my sleep losses. If i succeed, the symptoms disappears and i feel well again.

Hi guys
I too feel the same. I so badly need a remedy to this. I ve been to doctors many times. Things are normal acc to the report. They say it's in ur mind  which I don't believe . Is it related to eye sight? O ve a short sight with a power of - 0.75 ( when I checked in 2009 . O stopped wearing it. Do u think that's  the reason? Help me please!

Yah I feel the same way also , when I move my eyes or head its almost like a delay or a jolt in my head. its so hard to properly explain. Its really bothering my eyes not so much pain but irritation behind them that also effects my head. I feel dizzy, and I have recently felt so weak . I also had mono this year which may play a role. but it was months ago. like 5
