I can relate to the fear of medicine and hypochondria. My problem is that i don't know what is a side effect of a med and what is a symptom. I've had some weird vision things going on too - Kind of a visual snow and also seeing double - like I have my finger too close to my eyes, but I see that way all the time. All the antidepressants can cause it, so it's really hard to know what's going on.
just to ease my mind... How would you describe your symptoms that are the same as mine? I think my main trigger is health things too, once I feel any sensation I (in my mind, or google ) all the possible scary things it could be...I can't shake this floaty feeling I get every day... The thing that tells my rational mind that it's just an anxiety symptom is that for a month or so when I'm not thinking about it it's gone...then when I notice it's back! I guess what keeps my irrational thoughts about it going is that I can't describe it and I have yet to find it related to anxiety through other people or google.. It's not really dizzy, lightheaded, heavy headed, foggy head... It's just floaty like and my eyes don't like it so it becomes hard to even look around... Laying in bed is like the only safe place most of the time....
I experience the same thing, unfortunately I believe this is just anxiety and panic manifesting itself as symptoms. A lot of the time I truly feel like something is wrong with me but have had constant reassurance that I am healthy. This is why I am choosing to get on an antidepressant. I am fed up! I don't even live my life, I have wasted years feeling anxious, unable to work, have sex, go out, travel...I plan to try an antidepressant because I feel that it is my only option as I would rather live my life than feel anxious for the rest of it. My main trigger is health anxiety, just today I have thought I was having a heart attack and diagnosed a brain aneurysm (thanks google).
Just know you're not alone!
I have been to the docs and had my levels checked, I had a brain MRI...everything is fine on paper... I am due to have my yearly check up so I'll make sure to mention it...thank you for your response, while I'm sad for you that you experience this too I'm glad I'm not crazy or alone in this.
I am exactly the same ! it's so scary! I just figured out my thyroid levels are off and have an appointment tomorrow with a specialist. maybe it's your thyroid, you should get it checked
