Hi all
Last week, you were all very kind and calmed me down when I was panicking and feeling dizzy - thank you. My kids were all ill, I was run down, sleep deprived and seriously lacking in adult company - I think this all led to my panic.
However, the dizzy spells have left me obsessing about my vision. I no longer feel dizzy but it has really made me home in on how I seethings and I am convinced now that I have a problem with my left eye. It's not that I can't see properly as such - I don't have floaters or double, peripheral or even blurred vision. It just seems not quite right - I can't really put my finger on it. It's almost like I have looked at a bright light for a minute and still have a slight shadow in my vision. I think I am obsessing about it. I am scrutinising it all the time. I hada wisdom tooth out on that side just after Christmas and half of it is still in there and causing a few problems at the moment with facial and head pain and ringing ears. I keep convincing myself that it is that and then suddenly panicking that it is more serious. Then I google the symptoms for brain tumors etc
I am going on holiday tomorrow morning and I really want to have a nice relaxing time but I am afraid that this is going to ruin it. Most of the time, I can convince myself that it is nothing to worry about - I have made a dentist and an opticians appointment for when I get back.
Please help to convince me that it is not a brain tumor!!! Help!!:ohmy:
