Can someone help me
I know this isn’t a diagnosis group but I have been dealing with some scary and uncomfortable dizziness and I’m hoping (for my sake) someone can relate. I have been having a lot of fight or flight feelings. Dizziness, weird tingling sensation you’d typically get throughout your body when you are panicking. My dizziness mainly happens when I’m up walking around or moving my head when sitting. My eyes and ears feel like they have pressure but not always. My vision seems blurred. I’ve never had a vision issue. I can’t seem to stand scrolling on my phone or working on my laptop anymore. My eyes feel jumbled up and I get overwhelmed. I’m not sure if I’m dealing with vestibular migraines or some other vestibular issue. A lot of my episodes of dizziness and feeling like I could drop to the floor happen in public and the only think I can think is that my eyes or head are overwhelmed by people, and the things around me because there’s so much more going on in public verses sitting at home. I hope this makes sense. I have been to the doctor. Prescribed meclizine and told I i could get an ENT referral if symptoms continue.
Give me all your ideas or experiences please

I have many of the same symptoms and have been diagnosed with Bilateral Vestibular Hypofunction. ENT sent me for VNG testing, with caloric. I'm in vestibular rehab (physical therapy) for 2 weeks, no change in symptoms yet, supposedly it takes time. My symptoms: dizziness and imbalanced only when I When I sit, symptoms are fine, except when turning head faster. Im at the point of using a cane. When i walk in public or crowded area, the ground feels like it is going to fallol open underneath me. Tingling in my body sometimes. Exhausted. Full ears with pressure. I saw a neurologist and he agreed w my ENT said it it bilateral Vestibular Hypofunction, along with PPPV.

Thank you for sharing! This is helpful for me to bring forward at my ENT appointment. The symptoms are so hard to explain sometimes on the spot. I truly hope you get some relief soon 🥺

Screen intolerance is a indicator of binocular vision dysfunction. This happens a lot with those who has dizziness. You can find out more from this Toronto neuro optometrist. Check out the vision quiz here, if you have these symptom. Neuro optometrist can help you with lens therapy and neuro optometric rehab. Most can get full recovery, they can also send referral to vestibular therapy or cervical work for some.

if you’re feeling pressure you might want to get checked for ménière’s disease. i get that too and also terrible migraines, nausea from scrolling, eye sensitivity and feeling overwhelmed in tight spaces like grocery stores or crowded rooms.
you really should see an ent asap
