rode home from work this evening, felt a bit tired. sat and ate my tea, and within 5 minutes of finishing eating i was feeling very odd.
room was spinning like i was drunk, i was feeling very hot and nauseous.

went outside for some cold fresh air, it didnt work. so i went to bed.
woke up 2 hours later, still feeling unwell and dizzy.
went back to sleep, woke up 10 minutes ago, and now feel fine.

possibly a bout of vertigo? or a migraine, which i sometimes get?

Did you end up in a dark room crying?  If no, it's not a migraine.

Get well soon.  Go see a GP.

Fast AF.

Hypotension

inner eat infection

Could be a number of things but if it’s a one off and you feel better I’d not waste your GP’s time.

Dunno, I get migraines but they only last about 30min, then I just get a dull headache for the next 24 hours. Irritating but nothing like as debilitating as that.

migraines come in many forms, ive suffered with them all my life. at the least just an overwhelming tiredness or thick head that just will not clear (couple of times a week), at the worst 3 or 4 days in bed with headaches so bad I could cry and throwing up every hour.

the only thing with a migraine is to get into a darkened room as soon as you start to feel one coming on, and sometimes applying an icecube to where the pain is can help.

BUT... over the last year or so I hardly have had a headache and no migraines at all, even during a period of intense stress in December that absolutely guaranteed would have brought on a multi day one previously. I simply gave up coffee and foods (biscuits and sweets mainly) that contain rubbish sugar, even I am amazed at the difference it has made.

Not true, aural migraines give you a fuzzy, out-of-focus patch in your field-of-view, that then becomes a weird sparkly spot, that gradually expands into a jagged ‘C’-shaped flashing image that gradually expands out of view, usually corresponding to a heavy, muzzy headache.
My g/f gets migraines that make her feel nauseous and she has to go and lie down, and a previous g/f had similar, but even more debilitating.
Mine are more irritating than anything, a couple of ibuprofen to ease the headache and I just carry on as usual, a case of having to if I’m doing 70 on the M5 at the time.

Definitely go and see your GP. It's not a waste of their time.

That's what I get.

Right before I end up in a dark room crying.

Been hearing a lot of people suffering with this recently.  Chemtrails??

I get something similar, it's like the onset of flu that lasts about a day, think it maybe related to gastroenteritis without the puking and shitting.

My other half had something similar which we ended up calling a doc out for.  He diagnosed labyrinthitus which is an inner ear inflammation /  infection and prescribed antibiotics IIRC.  However it resolved the next day so it wasn't that.  I suspect migraine

I've had inner ear infection/vertigo a few times unfortunately. If it came on really quickly I'd go with vertigo - can be brought on my dehydration.

If we all guess a different thing, one of us is bound to be right!

My suggestion is that your crystals got mixed up. Not the wooo sort, but the little calcium crystals in your inner ear:

This has happened to me twice in my whole life. Pretty trippy!

I was lucky in that I only had the visuals, it wasn't followed up by the killer headache. Was actually pretty cool once I realised I wasn't about to die or anything.
