I am hoping someone else might experience something similar to this and can shed some light on what might be causing it/how to prevent it, etc.
I've been suffering from something I refer to as "weird head" for the last several years, off and on. It seems to happen more when I'm working in an office setting, but is not restricted to just that. It might be related to stress/anxiety, blood pressure, blood sugar, or something else entirely! I thought it might be something like a migraine, but I don't have a lot of actual head pain, so that doesn't seem quite right.
I usually get a slight headache, but very vague, and it's not really painful like a headache. Instead I feel a strangeness all over my head and especially in my eyes that is hard to really describe. My head will just feel very cloudy and foggy, very unfocused, especially my eyes don't seem to want to focus. My pupils also seem to get very constricted. It is almost like being slightly drunk but without the euphoria. Sometimes I am afraid I might pass out because it is so hard just to focus my eyes on things, but I never really feel like I'm actually going to pass out. If that makes any sense.
Seems to happen a lot in the afternoons, but not always. I said it seems to happen more when I'm working in an office setting, but I worked for four years in a club and felt it only occasionally, at night. Working in an office again now and starting to feel it more often. I had today off and spent the afternoon at my in-laws and it came on there too, so my idea that it had something to do with office lighting doesn't seem right.
I can still work when this happens, I just it very difficult and uncomfortable, and also especially hard to talk to other people since I find it hard to focus my eyes on theirs, and feel like I must look really strange when I am feeling so strange. My husband once told me that my eyes looked strange when I was having this feeling, but other than that, no real outward symptoms. Any ideas?
An unrelated problem I have only very intermittently is an extremely sharp pain in my right side sometimes when I urinate. It has only happened about 6 times in the past 2 years or so, a couple of times it happened twice about a week apart, but generally it doesn't happen very often. It always comes on right as I begin to urinate, and it is such an extreme pain that I am doubled over and want to just crumble up onto the floor. The extreme pain only ever lasts a few seconds at most, and then fades away over the course of several minutes. My mom suggested maybe gallbladder, but I don't have a regular doctor at the moment and it happens so infrequently anyway, that I haven't ever asked anyone.
If anyone has felt anything similar to these problems or has any ideas about them, I would really appreciate your thoughts! Thank you.
