“I need help?”
Recently I’ve been zoning out and a lot and then when I’m zoning out I start seeing the ground move. It’s weird.

Don’t worry, try to do something else besides zooming.
Make sure you are not hypoglycemic and well hydrated.
You need a neurological exam. You may also have anemia if you are having periods with heavy bleeding. If you are on any medicines or illicit meds, you need to tell your primary care physician. You do need to be seen for an appointment as soon as possible.
You may be experiencing something minor, but you may also be having seizures. I think you should see your health care provider to discuss this further.
Regarding “zoning out” a lot and seeing the ground move, I’d have to ask more questions. If it happens when you stand up, maybe it’s a “head rush” because you stood up too fast. You need to sit down and put your head down to reestablish more brain blood flow. If it happens when you’re hungry, it may be a low blood sugar and you need to drink orange juice. If your brain has a tendency to have seizures, it may be a “prodrome” warning sign and additional information may see if an EEG is necessary. It is okay to see a doctor by telemedicine who can help determine what is happening.
