I am still confused; maybe can you describe the mechanism by which it would cause the "not helpful" things to happen?
I'm not sure I had any explicit mechanisms in mind. These were gut reactions. But I can try to elaborate on the reactions.
With dizziness: you've spun to get dizzy and now you're spinning more and that's obviously just going to get you more dizzy.
