Sensory integration dysfunction question!?

Question

I'm 19years old. when i was younger i would get sick in cars a lot and throw up, especially if it was a long drive... then when i was about 8 or 9 i didn't get motion sickness so much anymore, and i LOVED roller coasters. the strange thing is, is yesterday i was in my ceramics class and up until now i didn't have to work on the wheel( i was only working with the clay with my hands). so i sat down at the wheel and the seat is very slightly slanted and i kept feeling like i was going to fall off and no one else in the class felt like this. then, when the wheel stared to spin, even very slowly, i felt dizzy and physically sick! when i got up from the wheel i stumbled a little bit like a child does when they are spun around a few times. and today i still feel slightly dizzy, almost 24 hours later! i wonder if this means that my vestibular system is reworking itself or if its something different. i am learning about sensory integration in my child development classes.

Answer 1

I don't know all the ins and outs of it but I know I can't play my kids video games because it makes me feel ill and dizzy.

I think a pottery wheel would about drive me crazy.

Answer 2

no it's not a sensory integration disorder. You would have had issues when you were younger as well with all the senses, for example certain clothing would bother you and textures of food might bother you or you wouldn't like to be touched or hugged, stuff like that, not dizziness.

It sounds to me like you could have low blood sugar which is a sign of diabetes. I would pay a visit to the doctor and have them to a simple blood test and urine test to check your sugar.

dizziness like that is called Vertigo and there are many other disorders that can cause it so you definitely need to see a doctor.

here is another site of info on dizziness and some of the causes.
