Does anyone here suffer from genuine vertigo? I get this strange feeling whenever I'm at a great height, for example the top row in a theatre or stadium,and I'm looking down. My whole body feels like it's actually falling, if that makes any sense. I'd put it down to a fear of heights but I'm not actually afraid of heights, and also I get the same sensation when I'm watching TV and someone is standing on the edge of a cliff or building, like it's an optical illusion.
Does anyone else get that or am I just a freak of nature?

Oh god never get tickets near the back for the o2 arena. Everytime I stood up I felt like I was falling.

yes, i get it really badly. the eiffel tower was the worst time for me. thought i was going to throw up. i also can't go near the edge (roof, balcony, etc.) of anything if i'm up more than two stories.
i think its mental really, but affects you physically.

I get both vertigo in day to day life (feel like I am falling whilst walking along) and I am also afraid of heights (I'll go but I will be miserable).

I think my vertigo-esque symptoms are more psychological. As in: I'm scared of heights, there's nothing up with my balance.
I get giddy on a fucking stepladder.

Yesterday I dared myself to sit on the ledge of my boyfriend's third floor window. It was terrifying. I kept leaning TOWARDS the long drop as opposed to the bed on the other side of the window, I couldn't help it.
