Loss of sight

5 Replies

I lost sight in one of my eyes for a couple of minutes last night.

I then proceeded to have 2 hour panic attack thinking i was having another stroke.

My heart was going faster and faster,got extremely dizzy and very hot.

I got so scared 😟.

I just want to get better.

Hi Jennifer,

I’m really sorry to hear that you are going through this! Please know that you are not alone and we are here for you! 💐

I haven’t ever had a stroke but I have had a few panic attacks in the past.

I had a car accident years ago and didn’t have a panic attack or anything but then a few months after when I was still physically recovering I was driving home from work and I witnessed a car accident, I saw it coming and there was nothing I could do to stop it from happening and then weeks later it just kept replaying in my mind and I kept getting panic attacks over and over again. That was the biggest set of panic attacks I have ever had. I had a really close friend I was able to talk to about it, it’s never easy opening up to someone like that though, even a close friend or family member. I felt better about talking about it and they gave me the love and support I needed at that moment. Time did the rest.

Please know that we are here for you! Hugs

💐

Thankyou claire1992.

Your kind words means a lot.

I hope you have recovered physically from your car accident.

Panic attacks are utterly evil things.

Thank you for your concern! 😊 Just a few aches and pains once and a while but nothing bad.

I wish you all the best Jennifer

Jennifer, for your own reassurance do go and have your eyes examined at a walk-in eye clinic or failing that any A&E/ER. Anxiety has been known to make people temporatily lose their sight but do get it checked by an eye professional using a proper slit lamp opthalmoscope, the kind you put your chin on to be examined.
