I woke up this morning and everything was spinning. It was actually somewhat hard to stand up once I was able to get out of bed. I figured it was just because it was pretty warm in my room, so I went out to lie on the couch. Unfortunately, that wasn't the case. I told my mom about what was happening and how my body was reacting to the dizziness and she told me it was most likely vertigo. I found out that she has it and my grandmother (her mother) has it as well, so I'm thinking it can possibly be hereditary. I looked up what could cause it to take effect and I noticed that high amounts of stress can cause it to start. Joy. If I wanted to be dizzy I'd just go ahead and jump into a bottle of rum or something.
