Why do I feel dizzy while driving?

[Shanb8284]

About a year and a half ago I was about an hour away from home. Driving down the road and had just made a right hand turn and boom! I got extremely dizzy, heart pounding, sweating, and just panic! Pulled over, called 911, was taken to the hospital. After blood work and a CT, Dr. told me I have vertigo. Multiple trips to my primary and multiple trips to an ENT. I am not convinced its vertigo. Everything I read about vertigo is a "world spinning" dizzyness. I don't have that. My dizzyness, or what I consider dizzyness, is more of a tunnel vision effect. Cars on the sides of me seem like they are moving in closer and this might sound crazy, but I get the sensation that the car is lifting up off the ground. I feel like I'm loosing my mind!! The sensation isn't only when I'm driving, and it's actually worse when I'm a passenger. When I'm a passenger it gets so bad, I feel like I'm gonna pass out!  I've been to the eye Dr., nothing is wrong with my eyes. Now my primary Dr. is telling me I have anxiety. I have never in my life had any anxiety, mental issues, etc.. Yes I do agree that since my dizzyness has started that I do get a little anxious. But my anxiety is caused by whatever is happening to me. I almost feel like my Dr is not listening to me and brushing it off as a mental health issue, and I'm not willing to accept that either. The only other symptoms is that I have been getting are headaches, foggy, and neck pain. Headaches are not major, just dull, annoying headaches. They are never in the same spot either, sometimes on the top of my head, sometimes on the back and sides. It really varies. I do have an appointment with a neurologist next week. I'm praying that something is determined. Not that I'm hoping for there to be something wrong with me, the thought of that is scary! I just need to know something, and how to fix it. It is affecting my everyday life and is so frustrating. Any input is greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance for reading my frustrations!

I have been having strange sensations while driving- it’s hard to explain but I will try.
You know that feeling when you drop on a roller coaster or driving and there’s that dip on the other side of the hill and all your body seems to lift to rush to your head?
That’s how it feels sometimes and my arms and legs feel separated from me. I’m not confident that I have control.
The road seems to close in like tunnel vision and I wonder if Aim have eye trouble.
Once, I felt like I loosing focus on the fact that I was behind the wheel and not relaxing in the passenger seat.
I have found that stopping often has helped and I now stay in the right lane instead of competing with all the crazy drivers. I used to be always in the fast lane, always trying to make good time-
Not any more- better late and safe
Than dead on time!

I have had the same thing happening to me since November and it’s now to the lint I can no longer drive or even work. I’ve been told I have low spinal fluid but I just don’t know anymore as I’ve had every test possible done. I feel like it has to do with my vision or something but I just feel weird and off. Not dizzy like I’m spinning but just odd that I can’t describe what I say is dizziness. My head hurts my neck hurts and I just want answers. I’m sorry I’m no help but just know you’re not alone.
