Does anyone else get dizziness when scrolling on your phone? Sometimes faster heartbeat too when not anxious?
It happens to me when I’m fast forwarding a recorded show on TV. All that movement makes me dizzy and nauseous. Then I feel ill for a few hours after. It happens scrolling on the computer too. My heart does feel like it’s going faster. Sometimes, I have to turn off everything to feel normal again.
It sounds like a variation of Supermarket Syndrome.
Yes I get this too when scrolling on my phone or watching tv, although nausea rather than dizziness. I have started taking cinnarizine every day and it seems to have helped this a bit.
I take Cetirizine for hayfever, might have to try cinnarizine don’t think I’ve had it before.
Hi Scotty, mine was prescribed for taking every day but it’s the same as over the counter travel sickness tablets. Probably worth discussing with your doctor before you take it regularly. Best wishes!
For the first couple of years after my symptoms ramped up, I couldn’t look at a computer screen at all: instant dizziness. Any tv show with a shaky camera was also a no-go. The first movie I went to after I felt I’d had significant recovery was a fashion documentary filmed largely with a handheld camera: total disaster.
Even now, after I’ve recovered to the point where my symptoms are typically minimal, scrolling too fast or for too long on my phone will prompt dizziness. Or looking at my phone while walking: not a good idea in general probably, but will bring on dizziness. Oddly, even at my worst, I was usually ok with an iPad, so long as I didn’t scroll too fast.
In my view this is clearly within the symptom pattern for vestibular migraine: too much brain stimulation, sensory dysfunction causing overload. Calming symptoms overall will calm this. Good luck!
How did you calm your symptoms?
Yes, I get dizzy and a bit nauseous when scrolling on the phone.
For me it was a long process involving time, meds, and multiple other therapies. Reducing stimuli so your brain can heal is key. My long account is below
It’s good to know someone is better from it. The daily dizziness, lightheaded, swaying feeling every day is just debilitating. Really frustrating.
Agree that it is miserable and a very tough way to live. But many treatment options exist and it’s a matter of finding some that work well for you—and then changing them as needed over time. Accounts on this site show that most people do improve with treatment. I don’t think I’ll ever really be free of these symptoms—I’m actually having a couple of dizzy days right now and headache management is a big part of my life always—but treatment has allowed me to live the life I want, with this condition generally in the background. Much better than when it was in the forefront of every day. Don’t give up and good luck 
Does your dizziness start when just sat on the settee on your phone? It’s sooooooo frustrating!!
I would get spontaneous vertigo. I wouldn’t describe It as dizziness. It can happen anywhere but especially when viewing or switching views between screens and on and off a screen.
I get dizziness when looking down on my phone and then look up to talk to someone and a heavy feeling in my head
