Anxiety Causing Blurred Vision and Headaches ?

Posted By David on April 17, 1999 at 19:42:22
I am a male in his 20's with no history of headaches.
Several months back I smoked marijuana. Within an hour or so,
I had a severe headache with nausea. Since that day, I have suffered
from chronic daily headaches with persistent blurred vision.
My doctors don't think that the marijuana caused this but
think that  an anxiety over a stressful event (which has since passed) precipitated this.
I am now on an anti depressant (Elavil) which has partially
helped the headaches but my blurred vision still persists.
My MRI, evoked potential are all normal. The doctors think
that internal anxiety (I don't feel anxiety consciously anymore)
is causing the constant blurred vision.   At one point of time
I was indeed very stressed and sometimes I still am, when I
think of working in the midst of these health problems.  Is there
any history of marijuana precipitating an anxiety disorder ?
Can anxiety disorder cause such constant blurred vision
even when the anxiety is not consciously felt all the time.
What treatment do you suggest ?
