Could it be just tense muscles?
A few years back I got quite a scare when I started having "woozy" and "wavy"
feeling in my head. Just like walking on a deck of a ship or a mild hangover.
Every day starting in the morning. I went through three doctors until I beleived
them: my neck and shoulder muscles havin been tightening real tense due to
sitting from of a computer! I do bycycling and nature walks a lot but those
muscles just did not get enough exercise. The last doctor sent me to a massage. A
month later I was OK again. The uneasy feeling never came back but I've started
excercising my muscles more.
