What Causes Dizziness With Tunnel Vision And Headaches?

Today at work while sitting at the pc, not feeling rushed or anxious, I suddenly became VERY dizzy, could not focus and had to close my eyes to stop the spinning. This went on for a few minutes followed by a sudden rush of tunnel vision and a light headache which passed after a few minutes. What could have caused this?

Hello and welcome to HCM,
A history of dizziness, inability to focus, lightheadedness and tunnel vision is suggestive of glaucoma.
Tunnel vision is very characteristic of glaucoma.
Thus, I suggest you to consult an ophthalmologist for clinical assessment, relevant investigations and thus management.

Thanks and take care
