I clean for a few minutes and then I get the darkening of vision/ear blocking thing and feel like I'm going to pass out. I have to put my head down and then my ears start ringing and eventually I feel more normal. The past 4 days it has been constant, I can't stand long enough in the shower to wash out my shampoo.

Has anyone had anything like this? Were you told it was anxiety? It's beginning to scare me a lot.
Oh dear. I can imagine that sounds scary. It sounds like it could be a little bit of low blood pressure or a slow heart rate, perhaps? Could it be a side effect of your medication? But I imagine that many things could cause such symptoms. Do you think you might go to your GP and just rule out a few things? It does sound a scary thing to experience but most things tend to be far less scary when you find out what's behind them.
Thanks for this!
