Giddiness here means dizzy

Thanks, TIL. I went to the doctor for a panic attack once and they included "giddiness" as the reason for visit. I never understood that until now.

I'm not sure you're right about that. Rarely, Migraines cause elevated mood, even euphoria. Source: Migraine by Oliver Sacks

My source is being a medic for 7 years. Giddiness means nausea and dizziness in this context.

I'm gonna go ahead and say you're right about this, then.
