want to check if this is this vertigo or what

A couple times a day, lately every day, I feel like a swoosh down like on an elevator or a roller coaster. Is this vertigo?
I haven't had health insurance in about 3 years so I am hoping it is cause I can deal with that.
I haven't gotten dizzy in quit a few months.
Only other thing I can think is that I over did my antioxidents a bit last year but I haven't taken them in about two months now (since Dec.)

I don't have any ringing in ears or hearing problem.
I haven't been having headaches either.
My nose has been stuffed some.

Does it occur more when you stand up quickly, after you have eaten or if you stay still too long? Do you loose vision?

My random 2p as someone who suffered from vertigo for three months solid it doesn't sound like it to me. But that is only anecdotal evidence which is not very reliable.

Hope you get to see a Doc and sort it out

I heard there are different types of vertigo associated with motion and maybe not necessarily have to involve dizzy. At least that is all I have figured out about vertigo...other words my understanding is vague.

The swooshing is mostly happening when I am at work rushing around and then I slow down.
Like I am busy and I walk over to the elevator and stop to push the button or when I go on break and I stop to go to sit down in the chair but am still standing
it feels like my busy and my slow down collide or something.

The tingly skin almost feels 'buzzing' is always when I am cold but it is like that randomly lately.

Okay thanks I will have to figure out how I can afford the doctors.
I don't have any heart pain at all. Wouldn't I have some kind of heart pain or my heart feeling like it is beating off or fast or slow or something?

I think my pulse feels like around 73 a minute.

I was looking stuff up and I was wondering if it could be cortisol and hormone imbalance

I have had a lot of energy and not getting tired at night.
I use to be tired all the time and never had any real bursts of energy.
Now I never feel like stopping until bedtime which I figured was a good thing.
