hi im new this is my first post!
basically suffered with anxiety since an incident taking drugs when i was 14, fortunately it changed me for the best but i now have constant anxiety more so health anxiety.
i never took much help as i was told i wasnt seriously iill or dying at the time it was just panic attacks and with the help of my mum i just got back on track and soldiered on.
nearly 4 weeks ago i was punched in the face causing a cut under my eye brow and a black eye, i was seen to by an ambulance team who said i was ok and dressed the wound. i was fine although a bit shaken
the next day was fine until the evening, when i started to feel panicky so came home to bed as was late and hungover so thought a good sleep would be the answer.
the next day woke up not feeling panicky but strangely dizzy and had a dark spot in my left eye only when i looked left of blinked etc (hard to explain)
i was convinced there was something wrong with my eye so booked into the doctor on the following monday
doctor checked me over and said other than being extrememly panicky at the time that i seemed ok and my eyes looked fine as far he could tell but said i should see an optician
two days later went to the optician who said my eyes were fine :doh:
then started to believe that some damage was done from the punch so went to A and E explained panic anxiety to the doc there and he said seemed ok did a balance test explained that it wouldnt be likely to have brain bleeding etc and if anything would be a minor concussion damage to nerve endingetc and would heal itself over time again nothing to worry about :doh:
back to the doctors after dizziness still not easing up even though anxiety goes from severe to non existant sometimes, was given tablets for labrynthitus which not really had any noticeable effect??
back again monday last week for more tablets and now a nasal steroid spray for suspected sinusitus..
nothing i have taken seems to have done anything.. i have felt better at times after being reassured or when i feel less anxious but at point do i feel this strange vision feeling has disappeared, late at night and when lay in bed also sometimes when driving at night feels better. it hasnt got worse but hasnt showed any signs of clearing. i feel i need to rest and no go out in daylight as this is what makes me feel worse..begging to piss off my boss at work with nearly a month off and not only that but im now extremely skint..things that arent going to help anxiety
apologies for the long post!!!!
thanks for listening:)
