What Causes Transient Dizziness, Crossing Of Eyes And Nausea?
Question: Hi. Every now and then, my eyes feel like they are going crossed and I get a bit dizzy. It passes after a few minutes, but feel a bit nauseated for a while after it. If I cover one eye, my sight is good. Uncover it and my vision seems crossed again.
I had high blood pressure a few years ago and it was happening all the time. After I was diagnosed, I took coveram 10/10 for a couple of years, but the dry hacking cough drove me nuts, but the cross eyed episodes stopped. Now I have changed my BP meds and the cross eyed problem is back.
Not many Docs seem to have heard of this before, yet the internet has a number of similar stories.
Im 46 and male.
