For the past few weeks, I have been feeling really dizzy (not just when I stand up/sit down quickly, but all the time) and lately, I have been hallucinating. I see things that are real (eg. buses) and things that are not real (eg. white ghost-like figures). I see bright lights around some people. I have also been smelling things and hearing things that aren't there. I also think that someone has said something to me, when no one has been talking, or that I have said something to someone, and I haven't. I can 'recall' conversations, but I never actually had them with ANYone.
I have been under a fair amount of stress lately, but no more than any other 19 year old university student. I did have a close friend of mine die four months ago, but I have dealt with that grief.
The doctor has done a blood test and has ordered a CT scan for me.
What sort of things could be bringing on the hallucinations? I have never had it before, nor is there any family history of neurological disorders. COuld it just be brought on by stress, or something I ate/drank, or should i get the CT scan done to rule out tumors etc? I am really worried about this, because obviously it isn't normal, and two doctors haven't helped. I am just after a bit of information about this sort of thing!
