yesterday i had something very scary happen to me out of the blue, i was laying watching a movie and all of a sudden my vision went very weird i dont know how to explain this ill do the best i can. it was so distorted like when you look at the sun or something bright that the sun is reflecting off of. i had strange weird spots and couldn't see anything clear this shiny shimmering spots. i layed there trying to stay calm but it wasn't passing this sent me in a very extreme panic attack. i went to ER the hooked me up to a heart monitor gave me something to calm me down. no bloodwork or ct scan i was scared i was having seizure stroke something, ive never in all my life experience anything like that with just panic or anxiety. im still scared to death it will happen again, also while this was happening i felt like i would faint black out. my face was tight feeling and numbness that came after i started panicking. something is very wrong with what happened to my vision. has anyone else every experienced anything like this out of the blue with vision? im scared and thinking the worst.
what did they tell you when you were done?
did they do anything besides the heart monitor?
do you have a history of severe anxiety and panic?
i really doubt it was related to stroke or anything like that. At your age it’s almost unheard of.
for peace of mind, go have your eyes examined, and if you’re able to, have your family doctor do a check up,
this could very likely be caused by a panic attack. They can come on even when you are relaxing.
my anxiety and stress has caused me visual issues where it look like everything was wavy and Jittery, afterwards I would get a headache.
try to get on a routine of relaxing your mind . there are some great meditations for this on YouTube for anxiety and panic. If you are feeling panicky, search YouTube for something called stop panic attacks now. Then scroll to one called don’t panic. She guides you through it and it really makes a huge difference and calms you down
. proper breathing during anxiety and panic is key to calming everything down!
you are going to be OK. Follow up with your doctor, also get some counseling for anxiety, do the meditations daily, as well as the breathing techniques you learn on YouTube . we are here for you !!!
they didnt say anything about nothing but the panic i yried to explain the vision thing the best i could and no CT scan was done or bloodwork. all i know is it scared me to death and pray to god it doesn’t happen again.
