Blurry vision, ringing in ears, headaches...is this just anxiety?

[greenzebra]

I've been dealing with anxiety since last year, and I used to have panic attacks all the time, but it's gotten a lot better. It's still kind of underlying though, and I have a few days a week where I just feel really tense and like something bad's about to happen. When I was first having panic attacks I had blurry vision all the time, but it went away once the panic attacks started easing up. Now whenever I read I get slight double vision after awhile, and my eyes just feel really cloudy. I've also been having headaches and the other day I noticed my ears were ringing, which I normally get when the TV's on, but nothing was on and the room was quiet. It was super uncomfortable though, and now whenever I think about it it gets worse. Should I be worried?? Or are these just anxiety symptoms?

How is your neck tension? I ask because those are all symptoms of tension. I will include a link explaining it and showing which muscles to address.
I didn't get too much ear ringing but I got like a fullness in my ears, almost like they were blocked, and I had headaches and blurry vision and a fuzzy feeling in my head. I bet tension is your cause too.

Also, make sure you drink plenty of water as this will help remove the toxins stored in your tight muscles

I get all of these symptoms on "bad days". I've had several neurologist visits and 2 MRI's. All were negative. Eye doctor visit was negative also. And the more we think about the symptoms, the worse they get. I know it's hard, but try to keep yourself busy.

If you get double vision and headaches from reading, you might want to go to the optometrist. I recently posted about blurry/ cloudy vision in one eye that was really scaring me, and it would get worse if I was tired or stressed. I was so sure i had optic neuritis and MS. I went to the optomestrist and he told me I have astigmatism in my right eye and that I was near-sighted. I wasn't too comforted until I got glasses and the problem disappeared, lol. He said a lot of people use glasses just for eye strain problems when your eyes get tired.

Anyway, just an idea.

I have had a lot of neck tension lately, so maybe that's it. I've been meaning to go to an optometrist, so maybe it's time to just bite the bullet and do it haha. Thank you all!

I get frequent headaches (which I never used to get), intermittent ringing in ears almost every day lately, and floaters in the right eye.  I confided in my dad about these symptoms the other day and he said he went through the exact same thing when he was in his 20's (I am 25).  He said that he would also get small muscle spasms on the top of his head and he always felt "stuffy" or congested.  He got so freaked out by it that he went to a neurologist, and the neurologist told him that he was so stressed/anxious that it was tensing up all of the muscles in his head, neck and shoulders.  The doc prescribed him amtriptyline, which relaxed the muscles in that area, and he's been fine since.  Something worth considering =)
