Dizzy While Driving Testimonial - Patricia K.

[@shantayprueeissen8914]

I checked a lot of CBD oils. I think CBD from Weedborn is the best.

[@stephanie8327]

Cbd for what ? Does it help this condition?

[@georgeslavin6137]

I’ve recently developed symptoms, travelling once a month on the same highway to visit my mum 3 hours away. Depending on the speed limit, I travel between 50mph and 70mph (UK). The symptoms start in the same location each time - once I’m on the highway. It hardly ever happens when I’m driving in residential areas. My symptoms are my eyes feeling like they are rolling back in my head and THE CAR IS MOVING BACKWARDS, the sudden feeling like I am going to pass out and lose control of the car. Sometimes my right arm goes into a numb / tingling sensation. I do believe there is some form of panic as it feels exceptionally scary. I’ve thought it was stress or blood pressure even, however my BP was 100% when I tested it immediately the last experience. I have not been to the doctors yet as I’ve not been confident that the NHS will have any clue with the current health crisis. I’m so relieved to read the below comments as now I have some direction as to which specialist advice to seek. I have recently had a sharp decline in my eyesight and a couple of head concussions, so I am convinced it is my eyes.

[@xOALtoFrEak900Ox]

I have been driving for years! just about a month ago I was on the freeway and suddenly I felt like I was about to lose control of my car, I was going to crash! I played it cool, I took the following exit and I decided to take the street until I made it to my destination. Since then I couldn't for the life of me drive on the freeway even though my whole routine depends on it, making it to school and making it home. Just recently I became obsessed about driving that it really made me depressed and I thought of not even going out anymore. I do remember going to the eye doctor a while back early in the year and I asked about the sudden pain on my left eye (my family has glaucoma history) and they did tell me that one of my eyes was a little tilted. They did some sort of exercise and it sort of helped, but lately I have been feeling this sinus pressure in the center of my head. This actually took the words out of my mouth. All of this to the T. I drive daily and I have never had an accident, but even when I get into a car as passenger and they decide to take the freeway, I get super anxious and my hands sweat like crazy. I actually thought about being stress but that cannot possibly be. Hopefully I can visit the eye doctor soon. Thank you for this!

[@jimmyz9918]

David Cipriano dude it could be caused by chronic stress, check on that

[@ronsmith4836]

I know what you mean, I went through a stage as a nervous passenger, the rollercoaster feeling, especially down a slope.

[@imgrateful7142]

I feel the same way driving and over 15 yrs it has progressed from driving on the freeway being an issue to even driving on the streets. Feels like the short drops on a roller coaster sort of'; very unpleasant and unnerving. This began shortly after a bad ear infection and a car accident. For years I had no idea of what could even be the cause and today still trying to get to the bottom of it. Getting vestibular testing soon to see if inner ear related. Misdiagnosed with anxiety all this time. i wear reading glasses but will have an eye doctor check for this condition. I want my life back!

[@godvandamme9921]

I have the same issue. Have you figured out what it is?

[@Bel0ve01]

OMG!!!! your story is similar to mine.. It started when I was driving on the freeway. I was a bit anxious and stressed that day. The irony is that it rarely occurs driving locally. HOLY! I literally had to pray! Initially, I felt as if I going to have a seizure. (never had I before). Every time I switch lanes and my head, I see objects in the front of my vehicle shift. The dizziness would come in waves lasting a few seconds at a time. It was debilitating! The only thing that sorta ever so slightly helped was to set my head all the way against the headrest or added pressure with my palms on the occipital lobe of my head. At times to gain control I held one hand on the side bottle stand. Every time I move my neck forward and away from the headrest is when I felt like I was losing control of the vehicle! The WISE move to make is to pull. over. To be honest, I truly thought it would stop. Do your symptoms exist?

[@princessg9296]

I’m exactly like this ! I’ve been suffering this dizziness 2 yrs now. and I’m tired of it !

[@mandyschelldorf7448]

I definitely need to go to a doctor!! I'm suffering from the same driving issues!! Have some nusea but it's mostly while I'm driving I feel like I'm going to pass out!! ☹️ I thought it was just anxiety but it's only when I'm in control of the wheel!!

[@TheFirestriker101]

Mandy Schelldorf same :( it sucks

[@TheFirestriker101]

Described perfectly

[@JBrandiTV]

Did you get tested for vertical heterophoria? I'm hoping that I can get some glasses for this and my symptoms go away.

[@OperationEndGame]

Same here. I cant drive longer than 30 minutes. Mine is quite severe.

[@onlyme6662]

OperationEndGame .same with me!!

[@isabelvegacruzado232]

I had the same issue. Driving, panic attacks , the feeling I was going to pass out. I felt like I was losing my mind. Turns out it's intermittent esotropia strabismus. So I'm not crazy. Now I'm just sad. Hopefully I can get surgery and glasses will help.

[@npa6226]

Been dealing with this for 12 years! Never thought it could be because of my eyes! Been on several anxiety meds with no permanent fix. Making an eye appointment tomorrow!

[@danielreinhardt937]

There is a real difference between an ophthalmologist and optometrist. Make sure you are being seen by an ophthalmologist for Binocular issues. I had Optometrists tell me I was fine for years. Vertical Heterophoria among others was the cause of my issues... so much needless anxiety and wasted time....

[@julie9610]

Right know me and my family are heading too Tennessee and I feel lightheaded in the car

[@erinsanders7559]

I never heard of this!! I get so sick driving since last year I feal my eyes are swelling or drooping and I can't see right and I go onto full blown panic attacks. I am looking into this thank-you

[@glen4326]

Please tell me what you mean by drooping. Do both eyes close throughout the day or is it variable? What treatments did you have for your eyes if any?

[@ronsmith4836]

I get that to a lesser extent, I drive passengers. My friend in the gym has the same problem and had brain scans etc, all fine. I did read somewhere it could be to do with focus.

[@laceyr.2642]

This is exactly what I go through. I wish they have a center in California that offered this.

[@ryaneubanks6698]

I have the same exact problem! I've been on every anxiety med there is and nothing worked. I really hope this is it.

[@mohitsingh5665]

I have also took all anxiety pill but this is something related to focus and eyes....if I focus on something for long time even talking to someone in front of me cause me feel panic

[@livefreeallways]

Just started having this issue after leaving a Dental cleaning appointment. It doesn't happen every time I drive but has been getting frequent and now i'm feeling anxious about driving too far. We don't have a neuro-eye center here on Hawaii so hopefully regular eye doctor can help. Thanks

[@leatherface9377]

Is it better

[@livefreeallways]

@@leatherface9377 Yes went away after about 5 months. Wonder if it was some sort of mercury released from a filling

[@leatherface9377]

UNITED4FREEDOM I always have this happen after fillings I think it is sinus related for me clindamycin help a great deal

[@livefreeallways]

@@leatherface9377 Interesting. Thanks will look into that. ; D

[@glen4326]

I had a cavity filled about a month before I started getting dizzy. But it was not mercury, it's the new stuff but I believe the shot they put in my jaw to numb it and the drilling may have caused vibrations in the inner ear that messed things up. Or it is eyes, or neither. It's so hard to know without testing and treatment.

[@LavaLampZone]

Thank you for sharing!!!

[@ToJoseGarcia]

I have all the same symptoms. They only happen when I drive on the freeway 55mph and up. Plus I feel like I am going to faint and my arms lock up. I am 43 and not overweight.

[@gonzo-7866]

Same issue... Seems speed related.

[@scottmessina4994]

Yep same EXACT thing here..im 49

[@urdu5072]

This happens to me exactly

[@ronsmith4836]

arms lock up, is that because of panic?

[@RandomRedd]

Wow its nice knowing I'm not the only one.... but im only 27 and I'm starting to have this problem...

[@alexjordan9239]

Hi what kind of glasses do you have? I feel the same way sometimes.

[@chowing08231]

Yes, is there a name to your symptom, are these special glasses?

[@user-zk8ck3my3l]

I also suggest seeing someone who takes your insurance. I went to someone 2hrs away from this website being told they were the only ones who could help… $1000 later and glasses i cant wear, i had a second opinion via zoom and he could tell in the camera my RX was off and said to get a second opinion. Found someone NOT on the website, 5 min away. Way more tests also. This place i went to said it was an extensive 2 hr exam…. It was a quick, regular exam- some machine eye tracker that clearly gave the wrong RX, one test with a red spoon and tried a few lenses. Then i walked for 10min and looked out a window. Said my vision was clear but odd and i didnt know why, dropped my pen while walking back - coordination NOT better and the last 30min was sitting talking about anxiety coping. Huge waste of money, time and beyond discouraging. There are many people who can help with this outside of this website…. And some, more so.

[@theneurovisualcenterofnewy882]

HI SL, We are so sorry that you did not have a good experience with one of our colleagues. I suggest calling that office to discuss your problems. All the best

[@urdu5072]

I live in Houston TX I really don’t know which path should I seek help This thing took away my driving and it had become a haunting thing for me now anxiety and panic attack took over every thing please guide me what to do I was seen by docs neurologist and ent doc they always put me on anti depressants which makes my platelets count low I am mostly home bound couldn’t go any where with out others I really need need assistance please let me know what kind of docs I need to see or what therapists I should see?

[@GeorgeWashingtonX]

I have similar symptoms when I drive.. but I notice it's worse going to places, as opposed to coming home. So I've assumed that dread is an element of my driving dizziness. Has anyone else experienced this (?) The fact that my dizziness is usually worse going to work, getting groceries, etc, makes me think dread influences it some, but I don't know. And it will basically disappear for months, then suddenly reappear.. is that consistent with heterophoria, or seem more like anxiety.. if anyone has insight, please advise..

[@CC-yq9kv]

I have the same going places already so much harder than coming home. I am getting prism glasses to see if they will help.

[@vickylim5462]

Three progressive visits and 4 pairs of prism lenses later, I'm sad to say that I am pretty much back where I started- still unable to drive on the freeway. The neurovisualists are probably well-meaning, but I would check with my ophthamilogist first. I recently learned they can also prescribe prism lenses. It was def a disappointing and very expensive (monetary-wise) lesson for me.

[@theneurovisualcenterofnewy882]

cocoa crema we are so sorry that you are still having problems. We do not think that you are a patient of our practice since we very very rarely change prescriptions more than once. We invite you to contact our office if we could be of any help. Ophthalmologists refer to us all the time since we specialize in prismatic correction.

[@theneurovisualcenterofnewy882]

We can not comment on your case. We do know that you are not our patient so we do not know how your case. We would like to clarify that ophthalmologists are surgical specialists and many send patients to us for prism prescriptions. Moreover, we very very rarely need to change prescriptions more than 2 times. We invite you to reach out to us to discuss your specific case . If we can help in any way please feel free to email us at [e-mail].
