Hi I'm Tom
New to your forums and I must say its wonderfull to see they are so active and helping so many people.
I have suffered from GAD and OCD for about 5 years, since I was 21 I am 26 now. It comes in spells every year or 2 years I have kinda a crisis for a period. Most of the time it just hangs around but I cant manage it.
I have never taken ssri's although I probally should be, I have done a lot of CBT.
I have a habbit when the anxiety comes of also getting health anxiety and obsessing and obsessing and obsessing about total irrational things.
This time around I am very worried, I had some sinus issues, from abusing a nasal spray and started to feel off balance dizzy like I was walking on a boat, and my anxiety ran with this and obsessed about it for a long time.
My main fear is a Brian Tumor, I went to the doc with this off balance problem a number of times he checked out my reflexs, pulse, heart all that sort of stuff and said it was fine and i didnt have a sinus infection etc..
Anyhow after he checked out my eyes i started to get sensitive eyes, like a nervious type thing when i looked at a passing car or at the corner of a table, anyhow now they are sensitive daily and it has me really worried.
I went back to him and he checked my eyes, out and done an eye test and said again I was fine.
I told him my concerns and asked if I could get a CAT scan or MRI and he told me I am giving in to the anxiety and there was no medical reason to do so.
The off balance is gone now, it comes back on the odd osscasion but I really think that was anxiety.
Has anyone else ever had these sensitive eyes ?
What should i be doing.
