Hi Caney Girl, I have experienced the same thing, only mine happens when I'm walking. It seems like everything is flashing really fast by me. I start feeling sick at my stomach and then I get dizzy headed. I can stop and stand still for a minute and it will go away.It's really weird b/c when I have this happen it seems like I'm very in tune with everything around me. Hope this helps, worriedfemale

Have you ever had a look at the healthboard forum about inner ear disorders?
Quite a few of us suffering anxiety seem to have these balance problems.
Try looking here on this same board under Inner ear disorders.
Do you also have a problem with fluorescent lights?
I've had similar problems with T.V's

sometimes if i am watching tv and the camera moves up and down or spins, i can feel like it is me that is moving and feel shaky

then i look away and it stops

very unsettling though
