Well this is my first post here and I guess I just need some help.
I'm 20, at university and I've always been a bit anxious about health stuff, and I started getting migraines at eleven with accompanied numb patches and visual aura which scared me a little bit, but I went to neurologist a few years ago and he okayed everything.
Recently though, in the last few months, I've started to obssess over having something wrong with me, like it was an absolute conviction in my mind that there was something wrong with my brain. I started to get tingling in my face and hands, dizziness, strange headaches, my concentration has gone out the window, I drop things more easily, my forhead feels strange sometimes as though I'm hyper aware of it, same with my throat. My appetite is gone. For a while I couldn't sleep though thankfully that is over now. I feel agitated and sad and removed from everything, like I'm going out of my mind. This weekend however my vision suddenly when strange, like blurry and far away and hasn't gone back to normal yet
I suppose it's probably just anxiety? but it's winding me up and affecting my life, and I really want it to stop. I have a thyroid disease and recently had the full collection of blood tests which revealled nothing wrong except a slightly elevated white blood cell count from a bad cold I had when I had the blood test. I had an eye test a month ago and everything was fine. I went to the docotrs today and she's referred me to a councelling service. I am still convinced there is something more wrong with me and I can't shake that feeling.
I don't know how long it will take to get councelling, maybe a few months but I feel I really need to discuss this sooner rather than later.
Can anyone help?
