Anybody get the feeling recently that their falling?

Okey, bear with me for a moment. Mods if this isn't the right place for this please feel free to move it.
About ten minutes ago give or take a minute, I was setting at my computer desk at home when I just felt like I'd dropped about a foot. Nothing in my home moved, just that feeling of dropping. I got up and still had that feeling like I was moving in a rocking boat, still nothing else moving. After a couple minutes the feeling past. It was just a really weird feeling. Anyone else experience anything like that or have any idea what might have happened?
I'm here in central NY just outside of New Hartford.

My guess would be blood pressure or inner ear.

When you hear hoof beats, it's probably horses and not zebras.

Thanks for the reply. Checked the blood pressure and seems within normal range 118/71 62ish

Look up Vertigo. For something that sounds so very simple it makes a person that has it very miserable.

If it happens again, see your primary care physician. It's probably nothing but prompt attention to neurological problems is best addressed quickly.

Last time I felt something like that was when the east coast had a 5.6 earthquake. I felt the same feeling and I actually didn't know what the heck it was like sort of a roll then falling down feeling... then I realized it was a quake check your area maybe you had a tremor or something????

The reason I say this is because it could be a stroke. Even the young can experience strokes.

From a financial perspective and the in cress in the price of living i certainly feel like im falling.

Could be considered low, but otherwise fantastic bp

I was thinking, and it could also be low blood sugar or a side effect of medication.

Have you changed your diet? Had you eaten? Any new medications OR recently discontinued medications?

a reply to: daryllyn
Thanks again. No on the diet change or new meds. Didn't eat yet though.

a reply to: andy06shake
LOL!!! Yeah, I know what you mean.

Thanks for the reply. No earthquakes that I could find for that day, though that afternoon we did have a pretty strong storm with wind and heavy rain. Though that's what it felt like and I thought that's what it was when it happened, till I noticed nothing else was moving. Premonition? (shrug)

a reply to: olaru12
Thanks for the reply. Your reply kinda scared me. My father (though he's past on last year) had a major stroke about four years back.

a reply to: olaru12
Thanks for the reply, sorry for the late answer. So far this is the first time this had ever happened. Felt fine, wasn't over exerting myself. Like you I'm figuring it's probably nothing.

OP, you're in a gravity well, you're always falling.

But in all seriousness that definitely sounds like vertigo, get it checked out.

I often get a falling feeling just as I'm falling asleep. This wakes me up instantly. I get a shock in the body. Did it feel like this?

a reply to: mmirror
Yeah, it felt a little like that. Sometimes I get that feeling if I sleep to close to the edge of the bed.

a reply to: framedragged
LOL. Yup, those nasty gravity wells. I don't know, I could understand the vertigo part if it happened more often, but this was the only time it happened.
Haven't worked little if any overtime, so sleeping regular, no change in diet, no new meds, actually no meds at all.

Before I say anything Ill let you know im right oustside Edwards air force base which could explain but I have had a similar feeling except I wasn't falling , but my skin was shivering and it was so very subtle that I couldn't see movement. I say skin because it wasn't anywhere else I could feel just the surface of my skin. Its only happened a couple of times so i was alerted but not concerned
