Yes I believe that going into a shop with camouflage wear and long aisles could certainly have triggered the vertigo. By going into that shop, you put yourself in a very challenging figure- ground perception problem. Your brain had to work extra hard to distinguish the smaller figures of camouflage material from all the other camouflage it was backed up against.

For myself I had months of difficulty in seeing anything in a table or grid. It would give me an immediate headache and dizziness/vertigo. I still don't know exactly why tables were particularly difficult. All I can say is that after year and a half it has resolved. I'm so grateful!

Hopefully the suggestions about using different skills and some glasses and hats etc. will help you as you go about your business.

Take care,
