Help!! I'm seeing specs/ dust/ pollen floating in the air???
Not sure if its related to the brain injury or not but...about a week ago I started seeing billions of specs. It looked like specs of dust or pollen floating in the air but it wasn't really there. That day, I started a new blood pressure medication and it had an adverse reaction on me...my heart was beating at 120 BPM. So, I thought the billions of specs were blood pressure related.
I ended up in the ER that night, they gave me new blood pressure medication and the spots were gone the next day.
I've been taking that medication twice a day, my blood pressure should be in check...and the billions of specs came back last night. This time they are accompanied by stars. When I'm in almost complete darkness I see things moving out of the corner of my eyes.
I figured it would be gone by this morning...and its not. So I'm wondering if anyone else experiences this and what you guys think its from? I never had visual disturbances like this before the injury.
Thanks,
Nick

What happened: I was randomly assaulted from behind in June of 2011. I was knocked unconscious for an unknown amount of time (less than 30 minutes) and have no memory of the event. CT scan showed contusion and hematoma of the left frontal lobe. I spent 3 days in the hospital. Diagnosed with Post-Concussion Syndrome in September 2011. Currently have Medicaid, Medicare and SSI.
Current symptoms: Brain fog, mild memory issues, problems with spontaneity, occasional spacing out, word finding difficulties, tinnitus in right ear and some other things that I can't explain.
Life after the brain injury: 4 years after the injury, I'm engaged to my beautiful girlfriend of 5 years, I'm the CEO of my own business, Notorious Labs, I've taught myself how to program complex games and apps which is a feat I never thought I'd accomplish and now live a semi-normal life with very mild PCS symptoms.
Slowly but surely regaining my life back.
