Vertigo is a sense of Gravity.

I don't fly often, I think twice in my life, but both times I could feel a slightly pulling sensation downward. Like I had a tether. It was a unsettling feeling. So maybe?

Good point. Rather a sense of "loss of gravitational fixation"
When I was in the service, I went through and induced vertigo simulation, where the gimbaled crew compartment was physically put through about every aspect you could imagine. After a while, I could not tell what was up or down. Terrifying, actually.

Vertigo is all in the sense of self-balance .
No gravity involved

The root of balance is derived from an equilibrium of gravity. They are one in the same. Gravity is involved because your know when you are standing up straight... perpendicular to the force of gravity. That is the reference. Anything other than that is a real physical disturbance, or a malfunction of the inner ear.

acceleration and gravity are equivalent.
Balance is a sense of acceleration.
