I think your mum's right, there's a section in the ear that controls your balance, and if it's infected or there's a build up of fluid, it will affect your balance. I had to have special tubes left in my ears for months as there was too much fluid, causing me to feel like i was falling from a building! Not only that, getting up too quickly, if you've been lying down, can also make you majorly dizzy :)

I agree, this sounds like an inner ear problem. See your doctor if it continues.
