You start experiencing severe headaches, blind spells, balance issues, vomiting, etc.
A Dr will diagnosis you with t based on medical eats and symptoms as well as response to medications to treat it
If you get constant headaches blurred vision. Dots in front of eyes. Go and get your eyes tested. With me too the ground felt like it was coming up to meet me. I kept falling over.

If your vision is changing and or you're having migraines and swooshing in your ears I would go see a neurologist
I don't think you can know for sure untill you have an l.p. eye exam and see a neurologist

First see an optician to check for papilladoema (swelling of optic disc's) then see gp
