Worst Day Ever

[manthalatrice]

Hello everyone! OMG! I had the worst day ever! But I am not sure if it was related to my anxiety, that why I need you guy's help! Everything had been going ok.......UNTIL this morning. While at work my vision became blurry!!! More in one eye than the other. It scared the hell out of me!! I totally freaked out, but I didn't show it. I try to remain composed in front of my co workers!! I tried to ignore it at 1st, but I couldn't really function like that. So I thought that maybe it was my anxiety, so I took half of a xanax. Once my vision straightened up, a horrible headache came on! Before you know it, my back and my head was hurting. So I took an extra strength tylenol. It worked a little, but before you know it, my headache was back with a vengeance!! By 3pm ( time to go home), I was totally aching all over. I had a headache, backache, legs hurting, and neck!!! I was feeling totally icky with a slight bit of nausea! So when I got home I laid down and I am just getting up, but I am still hurting!! This is soooo scary! What do you all think? Have you all experienced this?? Or do you think it could be something else?? BTW I am on lexapro 5mg, metoprolol 50mg(beta blocker), and xanax .5mg or hydroxyzine 25mg as need for the attacks! Your opinions are valued! Thanks so much!

do you think you may be getting the flu or something? Remar

[manthalatrice]

That my be possible, judging by the aching. But do you have blurry vision with the flu?

It sounds to me like you may be getting sick. Ecspecially if you are getting nauseus and are experiencing muscle aches.

I experienced blurred vision one time in my eye and at one time lost vision in one eye for about 10 seconds.  Went to the eye doctor (of course) he told me that my eye looked great but what I probably was experiencing was a migraine in my eye.  The doctor went on to say that the migraine in my eye was probably due to anxiety and stress.  Hope this helps!  Hang in there...we are all going to beat this horrible disease.

i've eperienced something similar and it turned out i got conjuctivitis and it all ties with feeling run down.

is your vision still blurry? is there any discharge?

[manthalatrice]

No, my vision isn't still blurry and there is no discharge. The blurred vision lasted about 45 minutes and went a way after I took the xanax. I am really scared about this. Especially the aching.
