Hi guys, first time posting here but I've always visited these forums for reassurance for quite a while now...
Anyway I've been suffering with anxiety for years now, most of the time I've been able to control it, but in May anxiety showed it's ugly face again.
Basically it started as a normal day for me, I usually go the gym on most Sundays, after coming home then starting to watch a film, I got double vision after like 5 minutes into the film.... Safe to say it scared the life out of me, it went after 20/30 seconds but for the rest of the night I was very anxious!!
Next day I went to the doctors about it, she gave me a general check, looked at my eyes, ears & checked my blood pressure... All normal. She then suggested to go for an eye test. She also said it could've been a migraine? I had no headache from it afterwards though.... Can you get migraines without the headache?
Luckily got an eye test appointment the same day. Had the test, came back normal again.
Still wasn't enough for me, was still anxious so I then decided to get a blood test. Came back normal a day later.
Felt ok for a while until recently, mainly because I never really got a proper explanation about why I had the double vision.
Obviously right now I'm feeling anxious, head feels tight (maybe tension headaches?) I can feel pressure around the temples and both sides of my nose & eyes. I suffer from hay fever, but that has calmed down lately, unless I'm congested? Even though I can breathe out of my nose ok. I'm just confused as to why I'm feeling like this again.
If anyone can reply, I'd be very grateful. I'm thinking about seeing the doctor again, but I don't want to seem pathetic. :(
