I too am experiencing mild to significant "dizzyness", so much that I have pretty much been confined to bed the last couple of days.
I've attributed it to the fact that I've had a "cold" on and off for a week or so, and that my ears were "weird" on the return plane flight home. They felt like they needed to 'pop' but I couldn't get them to pop.
I would yawn, chew gum, etc, but nothing seemed to work.
Now, I still have that stuffy ear feeling, even though the flight was 3 days ago.
Now, even taking a shower is exhausting since I get so dizzy.
It seems a little better today so I am hoping it self-resolves soon.
Just wanted to mention it in case your Mom's been flying it might be worth telling the Dr.
