What are reasons why would i feel light headed and dizzy and feel like everything is further than they are?

Dr. Eric Weisman answered

Specializes in Neurology

Hmmm.: Many things cause dizziness. The sensation that things are moving further away is uncommon. It is seen with certain types of migraine (often referred to as alice in wonderland migraine) and with some focal seizures. (involving the part of the brain that processes vision.).
