swimmy
Vision going wobbly
Swimmy describes a sensation of dizziness or lightheadedness, as though one's surroundings are gently undulating like water.
It most often characterizes vision that seems unfocused or wavering: Everything went swimmy after I stood up too fast.
The word can also describe a queasy, disoriented feeling in the head or stomach.
Swimmy suggests a milder, more fluid sensation than spinning or reeling.
