Looking for insight from Aviators regarding health issues.
Hi guys,
So this is the situation I find myself in -
I got accepted into the SNA pipeline and am supposed to ship to OCS in July. I've been a civilian pilot for over 5 years at this point. 5 days ago I started to feel slightly dizzy with slightly fuzzy vision, never had this feeling in my life. 5 days passed and it was impossible to ignore and would definitely become a safety of flight issue so I went to the doctor knowing this might be the end of my career. They ran me through some basic vertigo testing and troubleshooting. Speculated that it may be BPPV or cervical spine dizziness as I seemed to get slightly better with the Epley maneuver and massaging my very tight neck muscles. They're having me get my eyes checked as well to rule that out. If that doesn't turn out to be the answer, it's off to a neurology consult.
I have already contacted my recruiter and we are going to be speaking over the phone tomorrow to talk about it all.
I understand this has suddenly become an extremely uphill battle however, I'm looking for insight into what this is going to look like moving forward. Is that the end of my Navy dreams or is there a path moving forward and what might that look like, especially with the limited time available if I were to still ship on time (which I find unlikely now)?
Thanks for any help or insight you can provide. I'm obviously pretty stressed and down about his whole deal.
