Default Vertigo?

I had a weird experience this morning and I'm not sure if I should be freaking out and going to a doctor or if I'm just being paranoid.

I woke up about 4 AM to take a piss and almost fell down a couple times in a dozen or so steps to the toilet. My eyes were darting around a little bit uncontrollably. It was like sections of what I was looking at were turning. "Dizziness" almost describes it, but it was somehow different that past dizziness I've ever experienced from alcohol or amusement park rides.

I felt it again when I woke up at 7, but not as extreme. I stumbled again on my way to the bathroom, but after I sat in a chair for a while watching SportsCenter and I felt better. I still think I feel weird in the back of my head but it might just be the paranoia.

From the little bit I just read about vertigo, it sounds close to what I experienced, but what I read seems more extreme than what I went through.

Anybody have any experience or insight on this?
