Visual snow? Scared

Since September I have been experiencing visual snow, anyway I visited an opthlemologist or whatever you call them and they tested my eyes and said it was fine. I'm just scared. I'm an anxiety suffer and also suffer from vertigo and get weird prick sensations on the tips of my fingers and toes. Is this normal?

As far as I have been able to determine no one has ever died or gone blind from 'visual snow' nor is it anywhere as common in an eye clinic as on the internet. The anxiety it generates is the biggest problem.

I have experienced these symptoms also, thousands of dollars later, visits to opthamologist, neurologists, other eye specialists and nothing. I read about suboccipital release and may give that a try.
