Same thing when I first stand up. Takes a minute to recalibrate. Process all that input.
Now we all know the "tricks". Imagine a line and step over. Laser pointer on the floor. Holding a walking stick out ahead and following its tip.
These techniques have a common element of requiring that I focus on something - the laser dot for example. That in turn quietens the confusion in my head. Looking at my toes does a similar thing.
I imagine a chaotic state in my brainwaves. Focus quitens it. DBS does too. So does a metronome or music with a steady beat.
Anybody?

Rick, I believe you have vertigo. When you can't walk and look around at the same time without your losing your balance that is called "paroxistic lateral vertigo", or so my neuro told me. There's not much you can do about it, just avoid walking along bumpy country lanes at dusk
, bad lighting conditions make it worse.
