What Causes Pulsating Feeling In The Head And Upper Body When Eyes Are Moving?

I m a 27-yr old female who has been experiencing increasing problems since september of 2013. Most recently, there is a pulsating feeling throughout my head and upper-body when I move my eyes. I have been to an ophthalmologist and have 20/20 vision. I also visited a PT and they diagnosed it as vestibular hypofunction. BUT this is getting worse and I can t work because of it. If my eyes aren t in a stationary position I get dizzy with the pulsating and have even vomitted in the past. It is exhausting and I often find myself sleeping for many hours (as symptoms don t happen when I sleep). I thought it was related to many things (such as missing doses of Lexapro or alcohol use) but I have since ruled them out. I don t know what specialist to see next or what to do, but I can t live like this anymore.
