I have been having attacks with my eyes off and on for four to five months where it seems I get double vision for less than a minute and then its gone, Recently I have been going to the doctor for pre diabetes which is better and also for blood pressure and regular monthly checkups because he gives me valium for my anxiety he has to see me every month. For the last three months I had a lymph node swell pretty badly and he gave me antibiotics and it seemed to clear up.

Yesterday I went for follow up from an ent visit for the lymph node. I have mentioned to my doctor for the past four months about have these eye attacks and he gave me b2 for them. I was in his office and he told me that my diabetes was better, I did not have any cancer but when I mentioned my attack with my eyes he freaked and said that I might have a heart problem. When I got to the office my heart was 128 and blood pressure 146 over 86 and then went down to 126 over 82 and took my pulse another 20 minutes to go down.

The nurse said that when she was doing my ekg that it was 68..so guess they stopped worrying. The doctor told me my heart and lungs were good and everything seemed fine but never said anything about the eye thing again. I am so worried that now I have a brain abscess or tumor or something that is causing my eyes to do that.

It does it about once a month sometimes just a little not bad and then other times real bad.It seems to be associated with ibprofen ,im not sure of this but seems like times I have taken it for headache or tylenol too.

Also I am taking all kinds of meds and worried it might either be the meds or a tumor or something..I am so worried about it.. I am afraid to go anywhere or do anything because I might have an attack.. I have told him over and over about the issue but he hasn't said anything about giving me a ct or anything. He is an internist of 40 years and the ent is a big time specialist.. Would they know if there were signs of anything bad?

I am so worried..if not for the eye thing I think that I would be ok and not worry but im afraid to go to the eye doctor for what he might find. My eyes hurt alot and feel like I have sand in them and somedays they feel fine and don't bother me.. but i know im aging and that is a part of what the problem is.. but still scared to go the eye doctor.. but im sure that is what it will come to..Should I push for a ct scan or something?

All of this anxiety issues started about four months ago with being dehydrated and getting tachycardia and going to the hospital for five days .I don't feel like anything is the same as it was before ,I feel like Im removed from everything and something very bad is going to happen anytime.. I feel like im in a fantasy world. Right now the weather is kind of between sunny and rainy and my ears are screaming with my pulse which is kind of normal with this kind of weather but I ask the ent about it and he said there is no cure for it but never really seem to say if anything looked wrong.. just told me to come back if my throat didn't get better or I had any other problems and he would send me for a ct scan..

My world is turned upside down and at 60 ,im just sinking very fast.I feel depressed and worried most of the time but try to stay busy . I do art to try to make myself feel better but I worry so very much. Im so scared about something bad about to happen at anytime.. I feel so bad with the medicinces they give me but I cannot do anything about it. I feel trapped and scared and like nothing is real. What can I do ?Please help?
