Student who spun on chair to 'help with revision' hospitalised with vertigo

A red-faced student managed to persuade lecturers to give her an exam extension as 'she made herself dizzy by spinning on her chair' while revising - even submitting footage of her antics as 'evidence'. University of Bradford student Zonera Williams was diligently studying for her exams in the library on the morning of her exam and while memorising key info repeatedly spun around in her chair.

The clinical sciences student thought that the repeated spinning motion helps her while studying and had been filming herself in bid to enhance her focus. But after five minutes of continuous spinning, the 21-year-old claims she suddenly felt 'very nauseous' and collapsed on the floor - resulting in an ambulance being called.

The third-year student was rushed to Bradford Royal Infirmary an hour after her dizzy spell first began and was checked over by doctors who said she'd given herself acute vertigo from chair spinning. Despite being discharged from hospital the same day, Zonera missed her exam and admits this left her 'very scared'.
