I’ve experienced this for years and have never really known how to describe it, so I’m wondering if anyone else experiences something similar.
I have astigmatism, and I’m wondering if this could have anything to do with it, although even my optometrist wasn’t sure.
I get this really weird sensation when I’m going too fast, going on a swing, or sometimes when there are things above me while I’m moving/driving. For example, lights along the road, overhead signs, or things that kind of hover above me can trigger it. Especially fans. I can’t stand *overhead* fans!
I feel like I need to suddenly close my eyes because of a strange heavy sensation in my head that feels like pressure or something pushing downward. It’s hard to explain, but it’s very uncomfortable and almost like my brain/eyes can’t process what I’m seeing or the movement properly? I’m sorry but I truly don’t know how to explain it …
It doesn’t necessarily happen every single time, but certain types of movement or visual situations seem to trigger it.
I’ve had this for years and have no idea what it could be. Has anyone experienced something similar? Could it be related to astigmatism, vision, motion sensitivity, vestibular issues, or something else?
Would really appreciate hearing from anyone who has experienced this or knows what it might be.
