[Paddlewise] Rolling Dizziness

I had a couple of hours this morning so I went to the local fresh water
puddle to play with some paddle float rolls.

After rolling up (or exiting) I experienced sever dizziness that lasted for
close to 2 minutes or so.  When I exited, I could barely maintain balance
even while holding onto the boat in waist deep water.

I had a custom made ear plug in one ear which extends into the ear canal to
protect a perforated ear drum.  I assume this is the culprit.  The same
thing happened during the rolling class a couple of weeks ago.  That went
away after 10-15 minutes though.

I forgot the hip pads so was sloshing around in the cockpit pretty badly and
quit after several repeated incidences.

Anyone else experience this kind of equilibrium problem when turning upside
down?
