Dizzy and Blur Vision while driving

[Jai38]

I am a 43 yo female who recently started having major problems with dizziness while driving.  I recently started driving 2 hours to and from work.  I am having a difficult time explaining the symptoms.  I was driving home from work and began to feel like everything was moving too fast but I was sitting still.  My vision became blurred and I began  to be unable to focus.  I feel like my car is not touching the road and I have no control.  Medical History: Diagnosed w/fibromuscular dysplasia w/renal artery stenosis 7 years ago; gastric surgery 5 years ago;plastic surgery in July (breast reduction and tummy tuck; high blood pressure and I am hypoglecemic. My PCP states he heard something in my neck and has ordered a Caritoid Ultrasound but I am concern that this is not my problem and it is something we are missing. I am having a low grade headache;some low grade burred vision; dizziness when turning over in the bed and some facial pain behind my eyes.  Please tell me if we should be looking at other things.  I have to drive back and forth to work so any help would be greatly appreciated.

My experience for the past two years is almost exactly the same as yours. It almost always occurs during the daylight hours on wide stretches of highway. In addition to sharing your symptoms I also have the feeling the car will not turn to the right in corners, especially when there is oncoming traffic. I usually experience a heavy tired feeling at the same time. My symptoms rarely occur at night or on more narrow roads. There must be an explanation if there are many of us experiencing the same symptoms.

To All: You might think I am crazy but I can tell you this will work.
Ask Jesus to heal you, you have nothing to lose. Ask him in faith believing that he can do it. Try it watch what happens.
Also believe the died for us on the cross for and thru what he did he brings forgiveness.
God bless you all and let us know what happen.

Hi All,

Firstly relax yourself, you have a solution. There are many factors to cause this issue which are pretty simple to get rid off.
1. Take away stress out of your mind while driving.
2. Deep breath in breath out often
3. Reduce if not avoid coffee(caffeine), alcoholic, drugs drnks
4. Practice meditation/Yoga etc 5-10 min and refresh your mind
5. Drink water sip by sip while drinking

IMPORTANT: If you feel dizzy, vertica on highway slow down, take exit stop your vehicle safely and for 20 min, blink your eyes, drink some water, take a nap in car for 15 min, feel fresh, if needed relax some more minutes. Life is more precious than anything. Once comfortable then only drive. Hope this helps.
Happy driving.

After many months of seeing specialists, I now know my diagnosis: Vestibluar Migaine.  Please learn about Vestibular Migraine b/c it does not have to involve pain, causes dizziness, can be constant, often triggred by motion (driving)...  I'm so relieved to finally know what it is.  Treatment includes vestibular depressant med's, which may take months to take full effect, but it is worth it!  I can now drive on the hwy. in the dark at 50 MPH.  It has absolutely nothing to do with anxiety, so please don't think there is anything you can do on your own.  PT severely exacerbated my condition when I was put on a driving simulator! I hope you can take this info. to your PCP, ENT, Nuerologist or whoever is treating you b/c it is not a well-known condition, but is suffered by many.  My ENT also said he expectes it to subside by the time I reach my 60's.
