Those sound an awful lot like migraines... Perfumes are a known trigger.
When I get a bad one, sometimes it’s like the two halves of my body aren’t working together, and also it’s hard to concentrate at all, even without the pain factored in. Like thoughts are misfiring. But dizziness is kind of scary. And I don’t know how often it is that folks start getting migraines as an adult.
Sounds to me like you should maybe talk to an allergist and possibly a neurologist as well. But that’s just me.
Huh... my mom had lots of migraines when I was growing up and these aren’t like those. No sensory overload, for instance. But it’s certainly possible. I will talk with my doctor and see if he thinks I should see a neurologist.
But there’s definitely an allergy component. I got a new facial cleanser and used it the other night. Twenty minutes later I’m aware I have a horrible headache and my skin is itchy and my eyes red and watery. Sure enough, it’s got “fragrance” listed on the ingredients list. That went into the trash.
