Fluorescein angiography, Dizzy still 4 days after

[Christopher37]

Hello,

I had a fluorescein angiography done on monday, it is friday and my equilibrium is way off.  it feels like im all over the place.  i bent over a few days and i had to grab ahold of things leaning back up because it felt liek i was going to black out.  is this normal?  Ive been told that a few days after i will feel this way, but i am really concerned.

I had the test done in a Saudi Hospital due to the fact I am US Military stationed over here.  I am looking for some advise please

Any Insight is greatly welcomed!

just wanted to update.  Shortly after i posted this i ended up in the ER, i couldnt walk, i was falling down, my world was in a total spin and i have never gone through something like this ever!  Ive seen an ENT Doc and hes saying its a form of vertigo/Meniere's disease.  Im on a few meds, and it seems like my body is recovering but i am not 100% yet.  I see him again soon, as i just went through a CT scan and awaiting the results. blood work came back nomal..

How could all this happen after having these Fluorescein angiography test?  a reaction to the Dye, but for a few weeks after the test?

Please see a general doctor.  This is very unusual.

I'll ad some more info...

I had seen an eye doctor becuase of vision loss in my left eye, i had my eyes fully diolated, and went through an eye exam.  About 4 -5 days they performed the Angiogram, injected the dye into my arm and started to take photos of the eye.  they didnt see anything that stood out so i was refered to the eye hospital downtown.  About a week later i went down there had a full diolation done, and another eye exam.  They also drew blood to see if i could do the angiogram again (Stange, because this wasnt doen the first time). i returned on monday of this week and had it.  as soon as the dye went into my system i was dizzy and sick, but it subsided as last time.  but now like i sadi its friday and im still way to dizzy, and my balance is totally off.
