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.
I'd definitely get that checked out by a medical doctor or really the ER at this point, if you can't even stand for a few minutes in the shower. That doesn't sound like a panic attack. Could be a heart or blood pressure issue. Or if it's more of a balance thing, could be...I think it's Meniere's disease, which is an inner ear issue that can make you feel like things are spinning (I watch too many medical mystery shows). Take care.
Thanks for this!
