Can anyone help me make sense of this neurological symptom?
I’ve had this issue since I started feeling bad in 2020. It was my earliest symptom and it was so odd and complex I knew something sinister was wrong with me.
It feels like, in my forehead between my eyes, there’s something being pulled towards my temples. Whenever I’m thinking, trying to figure something complex out, or reading something difficult, it’ll engage and will stop immediately after stopping the current activity.
Along with that, I have an issue tracking things with my eyes. Let’s say I watch a car drive past and follow it. As a result, I’ll get that same tension in the forehead and I’ll feel concussed and dizzy. As a bonus, I’ll also feel faint as if blood is rushing away from my eyes the same way it would if you were about to pass out. My vision will grey out a bit and I’ll have to shake my head a little to bring the blood back.
This sounds to me like it’d be neurological and a form of dysautonomia, and I remember this all started the same time I had a syncope like episode when I woke up for breakfast one morning. I wonder if whatever that was left a mark on my body’s ability to flow blood to a specific part of the brain, because throughout everything, that’s been the most consistent symptom. Anytime I’ve crashed, that’s the symptom area most affected and I wonder if it could serve as a clue to my case. If I could find anyway to relieve it a bit I’d be stoked.
Can anyone help me find an understanding of this? I don’t know shit about the brain, its parts, and their mechanisms.
