Earthquake sensations

Hi,
Lately I have noticed that when I am standing or sitting in a chair my body moves as if there was an earthquake. I havent noticed if this happens while a lay in bed but definately during sitting or standing. To the point where I practically run and watch if things around me are moving as if there was an earthquake.

Thank you for responding to my question. Now that you mention inner ear problem, I did notice but paid very little attention to some ear problems I had that did occur when I had these sensations. I have made an appointment with my doctor so I will keep you posted. Thank you!

Hello and hope you are doing well.

It could be dizziness. Dizziness can have different sensations. It could be vertigo, presyncope or lightheadedness. If your dizziness feels like you are spinning or the room is spinning, it could be vertigo (and especially if associated with nausea or vomiting), this might be due to an inner ear problem. So, if your symptoms persist or if troublesome consult your doctor for an evaluation.

Hope this helped and do keep us posted.
