Hello everyone, this is my first post and I would like to see if anyone can relate, or heard of this so called anxiety symptom that I am currently experiencing. I am fully aware there are many other potential reasons or causes for what I am going through. For two months I have had severe anxiety, and as I have recently learnt, chest pains, palpitations, general pains in the body, hyperventilation, vision problems just to name what seems to be the main symptoms of anxiety I have experienced I would say for a month.
After going to a&e twice after panic attacks which I originally thought were heart problems I was told I am experiencing severe anxiety, seems to be health anxiety. Then my GP prescribed Propranolol which helped and then citalopram a week later, and then my vision became extremely distorted if that's the right word for it, i.e constantly having feint light blue in my vision, for example white walls would bring it out a lot more, flickering when eyes are open and closed which my ears seem to ring out a lot more when I'm trying to fall asleep as the flickering gets worse. But the worst symptom for me, and I know it seems crazy. is everyone I see has slightly longer noses and ears, as if I'm hallucinating. I have no auditory or other hallucinations it just seems everything looks closer as if it was very mild micropsia and seems my depth is off. Ill be going for an MRI scan very soon as I cannot see how anxiety can cause this. Sorry for long post but can ANYONE relate to these symptoms at all, mostly the fact everyone I come across has pointy ears and noses as this is causing me extreme anxiety and stress which I cant find one thread on. Kind Regards to anyone interested.
