I searched the forum and didn't find this topic. I was wondering if anyone here knows about this.
When I RE in May, I took over going to the grocery store for DW, it was a task she hated and I used to enjoy. Lately the grocery store has become my personal hell. Soon after I get in the place I get disoriented and become "dizzy", I've almost called 911 twice as I thought I was having a stroke. Every week it's horrible, I feel bad the rest of the day, I go off hours when the store is almost empty so I'm pretty sure it's not agoraphobia or panic.
My family Dr. asked do florescent lights bother you? I thought no, I spent 29 years under them at Megacorp. I thought surely anything that obvious I would had problems with. Of course for the last 20 years I had an office or cube with a window location, but I never noticed any issues. He's referred me to a neurologist, she asked the same question, got the same answer. They've done CT's and MRI's say my brain is normal(I know some will disagree).
She did help me with a severe cluster headache(aka suicide headache) that I've had for 3 1/2 years, so I'm feeling much better from that. She's also referred me out to a balance center, there doing 4 hours of testing at the end of the month.
I did Google florescent lights and dizziness, and came across this site:
https://vestibular.org/understanding-vestibular-disorder/symptoms
It describes 90%+ of my symptoms. Has anyone here dealt with these kinds of issues? Any advice is appreciated.
Thanks in advance,
