SGT Tony Muro 3071663 <div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>I served during OIF 1. There were several times during that deployment that NBC alarms went off. We were never given a reason for the alarms, other than, they were false alarms. I do recall one incident were there was an explosion about 2-3 klicks out with purple green orange smoke that set off the alarms. <br /><br />Since I have been out I have dealt with different aliments and learned to suck it up and drive on. But lately, my conditions are impacting my every day life. For the last two weeks straight, my head feels like someone is grabbing the back of it and shaking it violently, while being punched. I feel off balance and having a difficult time concentrating. So far, doctors haven&#39;t found anything wrong.<br /><br />I ask this question on Facebook. Turns out that there is one guy dealing with the same issues I have. He was my driver. He is the only guy that was with me 24/7 during OIF 1. 2017-11-07T12:25:34-05:00 SGT Tony Muro 3071663

<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>I have this happen when I attempt to drive myself on interstates. My symptoms didn&#39;t manifest until 3 years after I got out. The docs told me that sometimes things take a while to manifest.

<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>I had vertigo a year ago last May for about two weeks bit not as severe as what you experienced. It just suddenly came on me one morning. I tried my best ro just work through it until it went away on its own. I had it again this past June which only lasted two days. Nothing since.

<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>I have those episodes periodically, the VA said in my case it&#39;s linked to TBI, PTSD and anxiety. I just stop, take a minute and it goes away. For me ,rapid movement caught out the corner of my eyes that I don&#39;t expect can bring it on, especially while driving. <br /> So I &#39;ve found that scanning and paying attention to what&#39;s happening just a little further back than my normal field of vision helps. Don&#39;t know if that&#39;s helpful but gives you some questions you can ask and something you can try.
