Have you ever had problems with your blood sugar?  

I would recommend having your physician run some basic labs for starts before referring you to any specialty.

Your symptoms may be due to Pseudotumor cerebri, also known as idiopathic intracranial hypertension (IIH). Most commonly found in overweight/obese women aged 15 - 44 years.

The following include some of the symptoms of Pseudotumor Cerebri:

Severe headaches
Vomiting
Nausea
Visual loss that occurs progressively
Intracranial noises
Swelling of the optic disc
Diplopia (double vision)
Tinnitus (buzzing sound in the ears)

The above mentioned symptoms could get worse during any physical activity, especially those that include the tightening of the stomach muscles.

i am currently experiencing the same problems. I am going to visit a neurologist on the 10th. i too am slightly overweight. it could be caused by that. but it may not be it.

that also sounds similar to withdraws/detoxing..this is personal but think about it.. have you recently gotten off drugs, stopped consuming caffeine or nicotine? it happens and those are some symptoms. many things that we humans consume has something to become addicted too. so think of anything that you recently stopped eating, drinking, or taking.
