virtigo

Hi i get the floating feeling every day driving me up the wall gets worse if im tired  but this all started when i ended up with glucoma not sure if is started it all the doctors just dont seem to want to help 

Oh no I'm so sorry this happens everyday for you. I haven't been able to drive for 5 months either because every time I drive I have a horrible floaty feeling and like I'm being pulled downwards and am about to pass out. I also feel my horrible floaty imbalance dizzy feeling every moment of every day. I've been to countless doctors and specialists with no help.

Have you been to an ent or neurologist? You could have bppv which is causing your floaty feeling and vertigo! It can be easily treated with meaneuvers to shift the crystals back in align.

Have the symptoms been constant everyday the past 5 years? Good luck to you, I'm so sorry you're going through all this!!!!!!!

Hi thank you for your kind words i just  find it hard when i go to work because the fear of flaking out scares me and thats when the anxiety sets in but yes i get the floating feeling everyday i feel safer when im home this has triggered since i ended up with glucoma im due to have operation on my eyes tuesday  so at the moment the anxiety feels sky high anyway how long have you had the same floating feeling do you think anything triggered it  i had mri but come back clear then i had my balance tested they said the balance is slightly low on right side but shouldnt cause any problems but i feel when i go to the doctors im in there 2 minutes and given some thing differant every time they have givem me tablets knowing i cant take them because of the glucoma  im at my wits end to be honest just want to feel the way i use to but i am sorry you going through pretty much the same thing i do hope tou can get a answer to sort yours out  anyway thank  you for replying it makes you feel your not alone :0)

Oh gosh yes, I understand completely about your fear of the anxiety and having to flake out! I'm in college (not currently because I had to drop classes because of my condition) but I would get nervous about going to class because I was worried I'd just have to leave half way through! The anxiety really does make things worse, even if its so hard to control.

I hope after your surgery things get better for you! I will keep you in my prayers. For me, I was just under an extremely stressful period in my life and then got sick with a virus. Then all of a sudden out of no where a week later this just hit me, and now it's been constant for over 5 months straight. Glacoma could be the culprit for you so hopefully after your surgery things will slowly get better!!!! otherwise I'd suggest seeing an ent and neurologist just to make sure nothing else is going on. If you ever need to vent or talk just message me. Good luck!

thank you i will give you update on my surgery through the week and i do hope youfeel better  :o)
