@loribmt hello, thank you for your response! I have not talked to my doctor nor had a follow up appt yet. I didn’t have any tingling or numbness, confusion, or trouble speaking so kinda thought it probably aligned more with the ET symptoms. But I definitely pay close attention when it happens, I’ve had 4 episodes of that in the past couple months of the dizziness with vision distortion. I will bring it up with my doc and am tracking the occurrences. Thank you! 😊

@sarahgault I just think it’s a good idea to talk with your doctor about this. Anytime we have distortion in our vision and unexplained dizziness it’s important to have those symptoms checked out.
It may or may not be related to the ET and the medication. For peace of mind it’s just better to have noted this with your physician. I like your idea of keeping track of the occurrences. Can you recall anything that happened right before these spells? Lack of hydration? Overly tired?
