Weakness In Legs, Dizziness, Fainting After Spinning On Roundabout. What Could Be The Problem?

My son was very active with a friend today spinning on a around about. Ten minutes later he looked pale and eyes rolled back i turned and caught him before he fainted. He reported his ears felt weird and he felt weak in his legs and dizzy. We drove home , on the drive home he said he had stomach ache but felt better. and 30 minutes later after getting out the car it happened again and i caught him. once in the house it happened again this time he hit the floor though i didn t see just heard and he lay there fir a few minutes there did not seem yo be a loss of consciousness . What could be the problem, i have had the flu and he has a running nose but is well otherwise. Please help worried.

Pediatrician, Critical Care 's  Response
It seems like vertigo or fainting episodes. Epidose during spinning can be explained. However, with two more episodes later in car and at home -- he needs to see a doctor. There are multiple reasons for this and once he has been checked over by Pediatrician, he will be able to guide further in terms of the cause.
