Hello,
This is my first time posting, but I've been a long time reader.
Brief back story;
Around 6 months ago I was feeling light headed a lot, ear felt blocked and was getting chills so off I went to doc.
He has a little look, gives me some antibiotics and sends me on my way. I think "great, I'll get better now" but I didn't. So I went back. He ordered an MRI to check my ears and BAM, hello health anxiety. I was petrified and did the worst thing I've done in my life and googled MRI. I had a night of panic and the next day twitching all over my body started and has never stopped. Back to doc after MRI and he says all good! (I've written myself off with Ms or a brain tumour, imagined my babies with no mother, all that). The MRI did quiery IIH (idiopathic intercranial hypertension) as I had a tiny difference in the size of my optic nerve so I was sent to a opthamologist who looked and said "all good, no swelling perfect eyes and vision.
So skip forward 6 months and i still had twitching and some jerking of muscles but was ok apart from that.
Then I went to Yoga and during a pose with my head held down for ages I could see kind of arcs in my vision when I stood up. It went away after a few seconds so I tried to ignore and not Google. Then it got worse and it would happen all the time, even if I just bent over a little bit I would get these dark circles in my vision when I moved my eyes side to side.
So panicking I went back to GP, he does blood tests and discovers my prolactin level is slightly high and sends me back to opthamologist and refers me to a neurologist! I have to wait til Thursday to see the neuro but the opthamologist told me it's still all fine with my eyes and optic nerves.
My anxiety has never been worse, I can't eat or sleep, my muscles are going insane and my jerks have come back two fold. I've had splitting headaches and feel sick to the stomach all the time.
Help me.. Please
