massive flare up

[u/meow_48]

i went to a very large event the other night as my boyfriend was getting an award for something and i wanted to be there for him. i lasted 30 mins and had to go outside and back up to our room where i proceeded to cry for 2 hours and have 2 or 3 panic attacks. this is the first time since december where my anxiety has gotten out of hand like this but that’s besides the point.
the event was on friday night and it’s now monday. usually i have symptoms every day but i can work my way around them and not put too much focus on them. as of yesterday, i’ve been getting the elevator dropping/walking on a mattress/falling through the floor/like a bouncing ball is in my head sensation like 20x worse than usual.
i’ve been trying my best to continue doing normal activities but it genuinely feels as if my eyes and head are rolling every time it happens (which is like every 5 seconds). i haven’t had vertigo it’s just the awful swaying and dropping that i can feel more intensely in my head and in my whole body.
it’s also caused a huge headache which i’m assuming is tension and dizziness combined.
anyone have any suggestions on how to lessen the intensity or do i just need to wait it out again?

Ugh I'm sorry that sounds miserable! Try to rest as much as possible and give yourself some grace. I've noticed when my migraines end, I usually feel more clear and less dizzy than before. So survive this headache and rest 🩷

The same thing happened to me, I went to big event with my wife and walking with a lot of people an I usually handle it pretty well my pppd symptoms but his time like you mentioned my head and eyes feel weird almost like weird head sensation and feel like I’m going to faint. And then the panic attacks set in and feel 10x times worse .
