Barbara,

  I think what you are referring to is a mild form of sea sickness, and
not true vertigo.  If you look at the horizon while on a boat, I bet you
don't have this problem.

  With binocs you are amplifying the motion sickness (wait and try to
10x pair of binocs to see how bad it can really get!).  I recommend you
try the Cannon stabilizer binocs I previously mentioned.  They have a
gyro in them which prevents all movement!  I just wished they would make
a waterproof pair!

   Cannon, are you listening?
