WHAT IS HAPPENING TO ME????

[Cole]

ok, i know people talk about seeing spots as a common symptom of HA. But like, I think there might be a major issue here.


for over a year I have seen spots all the time. and if I look at something with too much open space or a pattern, it looks kind of like it's shimmering. all the time. for about a year, this is happening almost 24/7. I also have ringing in my ears all the time, at random points. And that weird vibration in youur head that's kinda related with the ringing in the ears. and today whenever I try to focus on something, I have been getting really dizzy, and the lines of whatever I'm looking at will follow me to whatever I'm looking at next. Like those things you look at on the computer where you stare at it for a certain amount of time and then look at a white screen and you see it again.... except this is happening with a lot of things that I look at, and I dont have to look at them for very long. and there are just spots floating all around all the time. I spend a lot of time on the computer, is this the cause?  somebody help. is something bad happening to me? I need help. i need comfort. I need info. I'm really scared. Please help someone.


Also, I can feel my heartrate rising and going down and I can feel my pulse in random parts of my body all the time, and I'm convinced that someone is poisoning me, and my blood pressure is raising. are these ALL symptoms of anxiety? what if it's not? is it possible that it's something else? Should I see a doctor? someone help me. please.

Just by reading your post it's easy to see that you're anxious right now–and that probably explains a lot of the symptoms you're describing.  However,  I think it would be a good idea to check with a doctor just to be on the safe side and help you relax a little.

Just a bit of advice from what I've experienced...I've been having sort of those same symptoms for a year now...and I have worried, worried, and worried about them...I was convinced of a brain tumor just wanted to find the right doctor so they could diagnose me...BUT THEN...I visited the eye doctor and learned I had a astigmatism in both eyes and my vision was just slightly off..but bc I use the computer all day my eyes were being strained...I got glasses just last week after I finally gave in and realized it could just be that...so I've been wearing them for a week and my eyes are TONS better!! you should try a visit to the eye doctor....I think it might help..especially with using a computer all day

thank you, chan. I have been wondering about it maybe being an eye issue. it would solve so much if thats the case. keep your fingers crossed!
