Completely normal. Spatial disorientation occurs all the time even to very experienced pilots. You'll learn throughout your training to "ignore" those senses. I had it happen frequently even as an instrument rated pilot flying in IMC. The key is to know how to deal with it. The AIM has some very good information in chapter 8. There are several reasons why you'd feel disoriented. I'd highly advise you read up about them in the instrument flying handbook or the AIM. The more you know, the better you are.

Good luck.
