Vertigo/motion sickness/pots?

Hi guys,

I'm desperate for some advice because this has been consuming me for 2 years or more!

When I had my son I noticed I randomly feel light headed. I could be sitting or standing. Sometimes I get up and I fill I might pass out.

If I look down whilst walking or move my head sometimes I feel sick. Or if I look up. If I'm in a car and look out to my side the objects next me feel sick. If I go on a swing with me son I feel awful. My eyes always feel weird, I can't explain it.

I do need glasses and I have started wearing them. I have astigmatism. But since wearing them for a few days it hasn't changed anything yet due to me getting used to them.

I've been to the doctors multiple times and they said it could be vertigo (but nothing spins) then they said recently they think I have pots. They have put me on some antidepressants. I feel so anxious and when I feel like this I get so panicky. I did try vertigo tablets but didn't seem to work but maybe I need to give them another go.

Has anyone experienced these symptoms before?

Thank you ❤️

I have had vertigo on and off for a few years, I eventually went private as I just felt I couldn't function!
I have just been seen at the Chime Clinic (referred through NHS) to review what my triggers are for vertigo and if my symptoms are not due to something else. Have a read of this information https://www.chimehealth.co.uk/tinnitus-and-hearing-health/ear-balance-service and maybe ask your GP for a referral. Taking tablets is a short term fix, if you do have vertigo due to loose crystals in the ear - the Epley manouver will hopefully sort it out!
Good luck!
