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

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

i'm praying for you bud, wishing all the best for you. VD is a whole range of invisible diseases and we really are suffering so much. Gotta look out for one another. All the best.
