Hello,
I’m not actually sure I should be here but here goes… I’m 3 months into a strange situation. I had a migraine when I was 40 weeks pregnant and woke up the next day seeing everything at a tilt. I don’t per se feel off balance, although I’ve been driving myself insane trying to understand this so I do feel hyper sensitive to wonky floors in old buildings. It’s like everything looks more slanted than it should be. If I sit down at a table, the table appears to be going downwards to the point it looks like the food would roll away! Floors look a bit bizarre. That makes the built environment hard to navigate.
This sounds minor but to be honest, it isn’t. It makes it hard to do most things. I often wonder if I had a mini stroke. Probably not, but at this point who knows. I had an eye test and they didn’t flag anything although they were a bit useless so I’m not totally satisfied.
I have at this point no light or smell sensitivity, no pain, no nausea. Just this disturbance and a huge amount of anxiety about it. I am so scared!
It takes an age to get proper help but I am waiting for vestibular testing. They suggested it could be VM. I am not for or against that hypothesis. I just wonder, as I guess you all understand. Have you ever encountered something similar on these forums or in your own lives?
