Does anyone have weird tingly last lasted a week.Usually mine goes away after 2 days.Than comes back once a month.But now I can't seem to get rid of it.It tingles all over my body up to my head and I can't stay still.My vision gets really weird I can't focus right.I feel like this will kill me or make me go blind.Does anyone else have severe vision problems.Sometime I can't even wear my contacts or glasses when I have this tingly sensation all over body.N I feel like I'm gonna stop breathing or just pass out.Please anyone I just need to know if u have this also.I been having weird vision probs.I can't concentrate sometimes.And does anyone have burning eye probs also.Mine seems to be burning a lot .SIGH I'm seeing a opthomologist again just to make sure.But just wondering if anyone else has this a lot.Thx 4 reading any advice would be great.

You are definately not alone. Its weird how anxiety can manifest itself in so many different forms. When I 1st started having anxiety it was more heart palps ,crushing chest, tingles in my left arms,  feeling like I couldnt catch my breath,. Now almost 20 yrs later its more lightheadedness, numb head or crushig feeling in it  and the visual distortions. I just took a really long hot Epsom bath. I found a Lavendar scented Epsom as I read the Magnesium sulfate in it can do wonders for your nerves & help distress. if you are up to try its 2 cups in a bath soak for at least 15 mins. If you do that right before you pop in your meditation CD, I bet you might just sleep like a baby.
Keep me posted & write anytime you'd like :)

I'm glad I'm not alone at this.I don't hear people compaining too much about it so I thought I was the only one that has it so much where it bothers me severely.Yeah I do have some meditation cd's.It's acutally from Lucinda Basset it seems to help me fall asleep every night.B/c I have really bad insomnia.Thx again

Hi girlwithhope,

I too have a lot of visual distortion with my anxiety. I work on a computer all day long so some days its so hard to focus. I even went to the Eye dr just to get them checked recently bc I never really had this symptom until a few months ago & I have had anxiety for almost 20 yrs. It manifests in many ways. I just try to not give it any more attn that what it deserves. I also have had weeks of waking up feeling anxious but I know that I was waking up looking for it, asking myself...is it still here etc? Try buying some renu eye drops to hydrate the eyes that might help. I have allergies so I take them daily anyway. Also, since you cant take many meds, have you tried meditation? I find listening to guided meditation at night before bed helps me wake up relaxed & refreshed.
Hope some if this info helps. If anything know you are not alone in this.

Be well

Thanks guys apriciated.Well let start by saying these are the test I had done less than a year ago.mri,cat scan,all kinds of blood work.saw a neurologist.cardiologist of course my primary doc.all normal.But sometimes it's hard to believe that it's normal cuz it's so severe sometimes.N having anxiety everyday is that normal for almost 2 years I'm not on any meds cuz of side affects tried 4 kinds didn't work 4 me.Just have xanax in case but it does help when it's very severe.Well I am gonna see my Dr.next month n I'm gonna have all kinds of test done again to make sure and hopefully ease my mind.N Rs33 u should try acupuncture I use to get it done I think in my opinion it did help a little.My insurance doesn't cover that anymore so I stop going.UGh can't wait to see all the Dr.'S next month.thx guys take care

Hi. Your symptoms may or may not be anxiety related, though anxiety can manifest physical symptoms in some people. I would not only see your opthamalogist, but also a regular physician to address your symptoms in detail, provide treatment, and refer you to a specialist if necessary. Hope this helps-GM
