Sudden vision change
I was doing laundry tonight and suddenly the room seemed to start spinning. I leaned on the washer and felt like my eyes were crossing and everything seemed "wrong" -- like I was seeing things backwards, or double. It only lasted about 6 to 8 seconds. I do have a history of migraines where I get a visual aura (flashing, bright lights in one or both eyes) before I get the headache.
You should probably see your GP too. Sudden dizzy spells can indicate trouble.

Dear Stefania311,
I would recommend that you seek the care of your eyeMD to determine the cause of this spinning. Although this could occur with migraines, the timecourse seems short.
