Update: I was at the ER again last night. Had another EKG, chest xray, blood draw and this time a CT scan also. All came back looking good, thankfully.
Currently my vision is functioning normally, but when I look at distant object I can feel the strain to focus.
I need to get set up with a PCP asap to do more diagnostic work and also see an ophthalmologist.
I've been in bed since 3am last night , sleeping like a rock.

I had vertigo hit me couple years ago. I woke up in the morning to go to the bathroom, and dang near didn't make it from being dizzy, room spinning, and double vision. So dizzy i got sick and couldn't walk without holding on to the wall. Crawled back to bed, and laid down. Every time I got up, same thing. Finally read some exercises to do and it passed in couple of days. Good luck and hope it is just an inner ear thing.

Sneaky,
Set up an appointment with a Ear Nose and Throat specialist.
I had a minor chest (lung) virus and the 1 / 1,000,000 chance of it moving to my inner HAPPENED. Was sitting at my desk and bam, dizzy couldn't focus, walking like a drunk.
I spent WEEKS AND WEEKS of hell trying to figure out. Walked into ENT and with in 10 mins found out what had happen. Doc grabbed my head and jerked it down hard to the right. The world WHOOSHED below my feet and almost fell to the ground.
Steroids and time was the only thing that helped. I still get false motion and my ears are super sensitive.
Never thought such a tiny area could cause that much trouble....
This is what I had hit my inner ear.
The main symptom of labyrinthitis is vertigo. Vertigo is not the same as feeling dizzy. Dizziness means that you feel unsteady or lightheaded. But vertigo makes you feel like you're spinning or whirling. It may make it hard for you to walk. Symptoms of vertigo and dizziness may be caused by many problems other than labyrinthitis.
With labyrinthitis, the vertigo begins without warning. It often starts 1 to 2 weeks after you've had the flu or a cold. It may be severe enough to make you vomit or make you feel sick to your stomach. Vertigo slowly goes away over a few days to weeks. But for a month or longer, you may still get vertigo symptoms if you suddenly move your head a certain way.
Labyrinthitis may also cause hearing loss and a ringing sound in your ears (tinnitus). Most often, these symptoms don't last for more than a few weeks.
