Question 1

What causes dizziness/ wooziness after getting off a boat dock?

Accepted Answer

Most likely, your body got adjusted to the constant rocking and movement of the boat, so once you stood on solid ground, your brain was now intrepreting the lack of motion as motion.  It should go away within a few minutes.

Dramamine, (dimenhydrinate) meclizine, valium, ginger root, and specific seasickness wrist bands may all help.  Of interest, many patients who suffer car sickness, sea sickness, or air sickness, have tendency to suffer migraine headaches.
