A member asked:

I was standing in high heel shoes for about 20 minutes and felt really lightheaded and nauseas; why?

Nystagmus: You probably suffered from nystagmus where you are not stable in the shoes and thereby lead to the lightheaded and nausea.

Many causes: If you are dehydrated that would be a good reason to get lightneaded and nauseous. The heels could worsen it by getting you off balance.
