The rocking dizziness! WHAT causes this?

Hi ladies, I've had this for exactly one year. It started out mild, but consistent. Now it comes and goes but is a bit more extreme/noticeable.

It feels like I'm swaying or rocking.

I've been to so many doctors and specialists.

It is not vestibular migraine, and it improves when I drive.

What freaks me out the most is, I could go all day without this rocking sensation, then I take a 5 minute nap in the early evening, and it's back!

Then it stays with me, and it's sometimes still there when I wake up in the a.m., sometimes it's gone again.

HOW could a nap cause it to return??!!

I'm 2 years post menopause. It started 1 year post. Will it ever leave me?

Anyone else have this??

Thank you all!
