spinning at the grocery store

I went up on meds today & as i was driving...crap...my head started to buzz, the my vision became blurry. If I covered one eye I could see, but my orientation & depth perception were gone. I was going to the grocery store w/my daughter, so acted like I was fine. I walked around like i was about to spin into everyone's cart. I was completely frieked out. I had to close one eye to try to see where I was in the aisle. Lasted about 3 hours. Is this familiar to anyone. Absolutely don't want it to happen again.

You should have pulled over and called someone to come get you.
No it has never happened.

Maybe you need bifocals if you don't have them already. Have you been checked for glaucoma? This is usually associated with periphereal vision and depth perception but I doubt it would go away.

It wasn't an eye problem, her meds caused some reaction.

    I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
