Several thots: You could have blood pressure issues, or inner ear problems. Check for postural hypotension, and possible endolymphatic fistula. However, if you are experiencing issues with your shunt, quite unlikely, this could also explain the problem. One perhaps tangential thought would be a migrainous equivalent.
