WHY DO I FEEL DISORIENTED ALL THE TIME? I FEEL DRUNK WITHOUT DRINKING, clumsy, eyes issues?

Hi Lautrela,

Very sorry to hear about your current health situation. i can understand how difficult and frustrating it would be with a problem like this, which is seriously effecting your day to day life and the problem is getting diagnosed .i am travelled this path for 27 years, but not with severe symptoms that you are seeing and conventional medicine system failed to diagnosis. i get headaches almost daily and 24x7. Recently it was diagnosed as TMJ and subsequently upper cervical. Normal neuro / spinal specilists do not see any issue in the MRI / CT. But chiropractor could see some issue with C1, with some nerve getting pressed ..etc. But i got to know that upper cervical is a specilization in chiro, which they are calling NUCCA chiro.

It seems clearly some nervous system problem, some thing to do with spinal chord. Since your MRIs are normal, it may be good idea to check with good chiropractor if you not done already. Most likely it could be related to upper cervical (near neck) problem.

For problems like this, one need very good support system to manage this and come out. Since mental faculties are affected, difficult to take decisions which doctor to consult and need care & support to live with the pain itself. Both are challenging.

please check with good chiropractor ASAP and decide on next steps later.

I wish & pray that you come out very soon.

Hi,

Many people have experienced this. its worst than a nightmare. You are perfectly healthy. All you need to do is a neck massage. Get it done by olive oil . keep stretching neck to loose the muscle tension. Keep moving neck in circle. Remember it would be tough in first 2-3 days as neck muscles are tensed. Its all tension in neck muscles nothing else. Get a massage and feel the difference

sorry to hear youre going through all this! I would definitely go to a physiotherapist as it sounds like muscle tension in the neck and spine. ALOT of the other symptoms i would imagine are due to anxiety , so it might be good to see your doctor about treating the anxiety. I went through a period past month of being dizzy, getting chills, feeling disorientated, chest pains etc... I am much better now and its mostly due to stopping myself from googling symptoms all the time. I do have tight neck muscles so am getting headaches but realise that my other symptoms were due to anxiety. Hope you start to feel better soon

Hi how are you going, just wondering how your feeling now. I too had an episode today. At work I lost my balance in a kinda way I was drunk. If table wasnt next to me to stop my fall I would have gone down . Then I thought I should go sit down as I was walking I realized my body was feeling clumsy as if I had had a lot to drink or I felt like a clown very flexible but uncoordinated (rag doll)

then 2 hrs later I was driving home and I had someone in the car just chatting but then I noticed everytime i was breaking I was not able to brake smoothly I was too hard breaking kinka kangaroo hoping this was going on for about 5 minutes then when I stopped at traffic lights to turn left I remember trying to turn left and it was like I bkanked out for a half a second or blinked cause all I remember I hadnt turned hard enough and was heading towards the light post in middle of road and had to hard turn with a jolt to the right to make turn. One other thing I notice is I felt my left eye as if it was swollen and when I smiled it was almost closed. So I started to get a little emotional cause the was I was feeling and the incident scared me. then within 10 seconds I came normal my breaking was normal!!!!! Ive read the rest of post it seems people have had nevk problems. any answers

Hello Lautrela,

I am so sorry to read that you are having these issues. I found your post because I am having similar issues. For over 2 months now I have been dizzy; feeling like I'm perpetually on a tilt a whirl and walking like I'm drunk. I find myself snapping at people, and that is not like me. About a week before my symptoms began I bought a new car and now I can't even drive.

I went to my neurologist and she thinks I have vestibular migraines. It is a form of migraine, but instead of headaches, your dizzy and vertigo medicine does not help.

She has given me a few "exercises" to do that sometimes help and she has referred me to rehab, which I'm hoping will help.

You might try looking up exercises for vertigo, vestibular migraines or dizziness. They sometimes help me, but not always. However, it might help you.
