andromeda:
I know exactly what you saying about curling up in the middle of the street. I even get dizzy and heart starts racing and feel like I am going to pass out and affects my cognition too. For me all that street noise etc., bothers me I think. I don't go for walks anymore. Even for that I tried Xanax and able to manage.
I think my issues are in the ear (perilymph fistula) or something in the neck? No one knows.
Cheers!
