Sometimes the medical specialists never figure stuff like this out.  I had a case of vertigo hit me out of nowhere while driving across Toronto to work, went from fully functioning to the world spinning one way and uncontrollably puking from motion sickness.  It was a slow gradual descent over the next three months to something approaching normal but I still have some small issues with movement tracking when my head goes from left to right.  Best answer I got from the docs was a random viral infection and the same thing happened to me ten years before in university, same answer.  I feel for this guy, he has it WAY worse than what I went through and the not knowing what is happening and trying to get back to normal is exhausting, frustrating and scary all at once.  His girlfriend is a hero.

I can echo this. At the beginning of this year, I was incredibly sick to the point where I had to go on short-term disability. I started off with long bouts of being freezing cold while also sweating buckets and then it would reverse and I'd be overheating and sweating but never approaching a fever. It progressed into heart palpitations and eventually, I had a bout where watching TV I went blind in 1 eye for a few seconds twice.

I spent days in the hospital, had every test known to man given to me, CT scan on the brain/eyes, a halter monitor for heart, blood/urine work done multiple times and they found nothing. I've felt fine for 9 months now, not even getting the common cold. The only thing multiple doctors came up with was work-induced stress, at the time I was working a stretch of about 28 days a month 10 hours a day for about 6 months. My body was simply fed up and fired a warning shot.
