Good Morning,

    Almost sounds like there is something that is being vaporized which
    you are inhaling when you use the steamer. 

    A suggestion would be to give the unit a good cleaning, rinse well
    with distilled water, then fill with distilled water and try using
    the steamer that way. 

    If the dizziness doesn't occur then try again with tap water and see
    what happens. 

    If the dizziness returns, time to get a water analyses to see what
    is in it (I assume in this case you are not on a municipal water
    system), if you are you may want to discuss with the municipal water
    authority if they have changes their additives to the water lately,
    and get an analyses anyways. 

    If the dizziness does not return I would suspect that the steamer
    had a contaminant in it, be it by accident or other. 

    If you are still experiencing dizziness with distilled water, then
    try inhaling steam from a pot of water on your stove. If dizziness is
    still present, time to consult the Doc. If not then there is probably
    something going on with the steamer, but ya got me. 

Kay
