meniere's disease ???

What the heck? A low pressure system moved past last night and by the time I woke up it was clear with a nice high pressure. I slept hard - good sleep. While brushing my teeth I looked down at the sink I thought the house had tilted down by a 45 degrees. I thought there had been an earth quake or a land slide! About three seconds later things evened out and my freaked out wife who had been brushing her teeth in the next sink over asked, "what the heck?". I had spread my legs and had a death grip on the counter. The rest of the day I have been a little unsteady on my feet. I can't say I was, "dizzy".

And now a day later I feel like I have a three beer buzz going on since waking up.

I asked around and a friend said he had a buddy that has Meniere's disease. I read about meniere's on Wiki and it sounds kinda like my episode.

I have never had anything like this happen. Very much OUT OF THE BLUE!

Will this happen again? How often? How will it effect being PIC of an aircraft? Any help on this will be appreciated.
