Do you have problems with shadows as well? Fatigue is a huge thing too. I'm so sorry it's been going on so long for you. I get very discouraged, but in the grand scheme of things, I know it could be a lot worse.

So if I'm getting the sun in my eyes but walk on a shadow, or visa versa, it throws me off. If it's a sunny day and I'm walking under trees, it feels like a strobe light. Noises, especially bass, will start the pulsating in my ears and back of my neck, if it's not there already. Walking at night under lamp posts or directional light will also set me off balance. Perhaps the pulsating in your chest is the anxiety that is caused by the other. I was told that my fatigue is because my brain is always compensating or retraining itself from the original symptoms of the virus and now the residual effects of the Labrynthitis that I contracted back in October 2015. I have found that forcing myself to do things outside my comfort zone has helped to retrain my brain, but still having bad days, where my balance is way off or find myself in situations where the symptoms are exacerbated, like sometimes in a store where my senses are acutely stimulated and go into overload. I am currently trying to work out on an elliptical machine that we have trying to regain some strength and prepare mentally and physically for walking this summer. I just have to work through it I think. Good luck, I really hope you can find a balance that will work for you, again, perhaps challenging your brain might help right itself to some degree and gradually you might find that you will have less fatigue and more good days with a better quality of life. Sending you out some positive energy. 🙂

I;m not certain what you mean by shadows, but I do have a real problem with heavy fatigue in the afternoons. I had to stop selling at my favorite farmer's market because I was too tired to even go there to sell. The worst thing for me, though, is pulsatile tinnitus (hearing my pulse in my ear and feeling throbbing in my head, back of neck, chest, or stomach). That gets worse every time I wake up, eat, or move around/exercise. So I don't go for walks like I used to, although it would be good for me otherwise. I can't stand the loud pounding and throbbing sensation when I exercise harder. Sigh...
