I know it's probably not the best idea to go to the internet for advice, but I'm growing tired.

About a month and change ago, I was out shopping with my sister, and I suddenly was overcome with a sudden wave of dizziness. I didn't fall over, and I was able to regain myself quickly without anyone noticing. But since that day, I've been experiencing some issues.

I've been experiencing this near-constant dizziness, but it's not the typical spinning sensation associated with vertigo. I describe it more similarly to that of lightheadedness, but that's not quite right either. It's like every time I walk, I feel like I'm going to fall, but I never do. It's mostly when I stand, but it's not as though my vision gets clouded like my BP is dropping, nor is it brief and sudden, it's constant. (But I haven't felt any head pain, so that's good, at least.)

And that vagueness is my issue here. I'm seeing a neurologist, but I feel like I'm getting nowhere because I'm bad at describing my symptoms, and I feel like I'm just sort of confusing him, because everything is contradictory. I don't want to be that patient and start talking about stuff I saw on the internet, but I need to know if anyone else has experienced this before. I'm not looking to get diagnosed, I'm going to stick with the professionals' word, but I just need to know I'm not alone 😭

Whenever I see people ask, "What's the male equivalent to flowers?" a piece of my heart breaks when I see the replies, especially from some men.

It's not a Lego set, a Steam gift card, banana bread, a multitool, a cactus, or a tungsten cube.

It's flowers, because there truly is no equivalent.

Across so, so, so many cultures, flowers are special symbols of gratitude and love. WITHIN flowers, they have their own language, PER species (ex. Red Roses symbolizing true love). As a guy, it's different when you give your partner flowers as opposed to other gifts, so why not allow that same logic for yourself? Not to say any of the gifts I listed above were bad or that a lot of guys WOULDN'T prefer them over flowers, but they fill a different purpose.

Ultimately, it depends on the person, just like how NOT EVERY girl likes flowers, maintaining them, or cares about the symbolism. It depends on your partner, but idk...flowers are beautiful and I feel like every PERSON should experience them atleast once in their life.

Edit: Some of these comments are genuinely pretty funny, but a few of you are missing the forest for the trees here

> A lot of guys DO have things they would prefer over receiving flowers, if at all, I'm not denying that. Whatever you find more gratifying and personally meaningful than receiving flowers, I hope you receive it.

> Just like Red Roses symbolizing true love on Valentines Day, or Lilies, roses, and carnations being used in a lot of Western funerals, the language and art behind flowers runs deeper than "girls get flowers because a lot of girls like flowers"

It could be for everyone and thats more or less what my post is saying. You can get your tungsten cube and your flowers.
